I am a HUGE Paranormal fan… and this book was phenomenal. We know all the stories about Vampires and Werewolves being enemies, but what if they were friends instead and the real enemies were humans?
Vampires and Werewolves are known as the Breed.
Tessa Roberts is no ordinary human, she has the ability to read other human minds. After her brother Quinn is attacked and kidnapped by Werewolves, she goes looking for him. With her gift she is able to find out things about The Breed that she never knew existed and ends up at a Shelter for victims of The Breed. After looking for years a new clue is found and so Tessa must go to The Breed Embassy to meet the leader of the defence team Casstiel.
Casstiel is the leader of his team and a Vampire. It’s his job to look after the Breed and keep and eye on the Hunters, but his mind is always being consumed by his dream girl. When an alert for missing person Quinn is reported he must investigate where he has been, starting with his sister Tessa. But he never expected that Tessa would be the girl from his dreams. Now that he had her in front of him in the flesh there is no way he was going to let her go.
This book had me hooked from the very beginning. This was Alice K Wayne’s debut book and I must say the storyline is good but it is in need of a new edit, I found that there were parts that need to be changed, like wrong names being used, words being misplaced or spelt. I am one to usually be able to understand and go on with these type of errors but i did find myself having to reread parts to understand what was going on. It was addictive, and had me on the edge of my seat. This book didn’t just follow Casstiel and Tessa it also followed secondary characters, although I did enjoy having other POV’s having a warning who’s POV we were reading would help as well, as I found that at times it took me a while to understand and adjust to who we were following.
Other than that I really enjoyed reading Casstiel and Tessa’s story and can’t wait to read Nora’s Choice and see what is next for this wonderful characters.
This is the first book I have read from Ms. Wayne. I really enjoyed it. I liked her world of the Breed and can’t wait to read the whole series.
New author for me. Well written,sexy,action packed twist and turns. Casstiel and Tessa seemed a bit wishy washy at times but as story goes on Tessa comes out of her shell and Casstiel is the leader he has always been. The supporting members of Casstiel’s team are interesting.
This is my first Alice Wayne story and I was in need of a PNR story, so I jumped right in with just the blurb to let me know what I was getting into. I didn’t want to know anything when I was going in so I was surprised about this book, to say the least.
So it took me a bit to get into this book at first. I wasn’t sure if I had missed something or not but you start to figure things out once you get into the book. Casstiel and his group of vampires and werewolves are there to protect the world from bad people. And with all the Hunters out there trying to kill the PNR’s out there a big war is coming that they might not be ready for.
But while Casstiel and his group are in the middle of something they didn’t see coming he meets his bonded mate Tessa who has been hiding her ability to read humans minds. But she is afraid to tell anyone about this ability for fear she will be hurt or taken by the Hunters. But with Casstiel by her side, she just might be able to handle her ability and become the mate she wants to be.
Good beginning to this new series. I have to say I also liked that this series doesn’t just stick with one set of couples. We get the start of different couples falling for each other so that we can go to the next book easily. I liked that.
I found the story strong and unique. There is a unique coexistence between the werewolves, vampires and humans in this story, and they work together for a greater good. How Casstiel and Tessa find each other is mere happenstance, but when they realize they were meant for each other and need each other to fight against the Hunters, it completely changes the direction of the story. She and her friend, Nora, are as thick as thieves, and it’s that relationship that brings attention to Tessa’s brother, changing the tides in this war and bringing people together who might never have found each other.
The action is non-stop and wrought with danger. The love story is steamy and romantic. The characters are colorful and interesting. I loved it from beginning to end. If this is a first taste of what this author has to offer, she has a good start in her writing career. I’m looking forward to the next one.
A fantastic start to the series and it’s this author’s debut book. If this is any indication of the author’s writing style she has a bright future. Tessa is a human with powers but doesn’t use them so she can fit in into the human crowd. Casstiel is a vampire that drips sexuality. They meet by chance and that is all she wrote for them. Casstiel has been dreaming about a mystery woman for a while now and then Tessa walks in and everything falls into place. Everyone needs to work together that includes humans, vampires and wolves to stop the Hunters. The action is nonstop and a real page turner because I just had to know who came out on. Tessa and Casstiel’s chemistry is explosive. I can’t wait for the continuation of the series!!
An awesome debut, I loved it. This book was so well done for a young newbie author, I was enthralled from the start. Yes there were some grammatical errors but not enough to nit pick and put me off the story. It was so much more than your regular shifter story, steamy scenes and action and yet still a romance. I have to go and buy book 2 now to see how the secondary characters grow.
