Ashley Pagano has a way of grabbing my attention and pulls me into her world in which she has created. Once I started the story there was no way that I was stopping. So make sure you have enough time to complete the entire story. The characters are amazing because she does not deal with only vampires or werewolves. There is the full cast of supernatural cast Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Shape Shifters, and Faeries. There is white magic and dark magic and who will manipulate the four elements.

I thought that The Gauntlet was a fantastic read, it may have been a shorter read but it was packed full of wonderful characters, action and fantasy! I love how original the storyline was – it really captured my attention from the very beginning. The authors’ writing was really easy to read and although as mentioned before it is a shorter than average story it didn’t feel rushed and I definitely didn’t feel like I was missing anything. The pace and flow were perfect. The author’s attention to detail was amazing and this meant that the world building for the story was excellent and I adored her character building – they all developed well over the story.
I am really excited to see where the author is going to take this series, I have a feeling it is going to be an amazing one! I can’t wait for the next book to be released!
The Gauntlet by Ashley Pagano is a brilliantly unique story. The author does a great job of mixing together all the different supernatural species in a way that I have not seen done before.
The story is quite a short one – which would be my only gripe – however there is a lot packed into these few pages. The book is exciting and fast paced. It grabs your attention right at the start and doesn’t let go right until the end.
This was as new author to me so I am pleased to say that I have enjoyed her writing style. The mystery and intrigue she has brought to a fantasy story is great. I am very much looking forward to reading more of her work.

The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano is a paranormal suspense. This story offers a strong female lead that is independent and unique in her own rights. The author has created a “world” unlike any other and it’s imaginative, yet feels so realistic at the same time. A great introduction to the series and the possibilities of what is to come further along the line. Despite the limited pages in this first book, Ashley Pagano did an amazing job with character development and the creation of a story line that is intriguing, begging to be read.
The Gauntlet: The Soppranaturale Series by Ashley Pagano is a short paranormal story that is fun and original. Even though it is a short story it packs a punch and it has everything needed to keep you entertained and intrigued. What mystery does this hotel hold? What is going on behind closed doors? There is action and battles, magic and danger, suspense and hurt, secrets and romance and this is only part of what to expect. When there are many magical beings such as Vampires and Witches, Elves and Fae all in one place things tend to get a little tense and the place to go to let off a little steam is the gauntlet. Ashley has done a great job of adding her spin on the supernatural beings and the place in which they dwell, giving them a new light.
Ommily has always been drawn to the unknown, the more mystical side of life and has come to the one place that may hold all the answers she seeks.
Link has been alone for a very long time. Always under the impression that he was the last of his kind but the stunning creature that just walked in the door is more than what she first seems.
This magical world draws you in and almost seems that it is real and you are as much a participant as the characters. If you love the paranormal then this is a book that you will love. Go on you know you want to.

This little wonder pulls you in right away with its alluring detail and its intriguing premises. This book creates is own spin of the supernatural, and I fell right into the world that was created. This hotel, not an overly new concept, had a fresh feeling, as it wasn’t just all about supernaturals checking in and out, it was so much more, and man I loved every minute of it.
Action, romance, connections, vampires, witches, craziness, battles, man oh man, for a short read this book was packed with everything I love in paranormal fantasies. Not only that, but the character development was on fire. I don’t know how the author done it, to managed all that while till keeping the plot going, the detail on point and the suspense gripping.

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I enjoyed being pulled into the story right from the start. It is a well developed story that has a supernatural element to it. A hotel looks normal but the problem is, it has secrets like supernatural battles. Link and Ommily have a connection from the time they meet. One engaged, the other has a crazy ex. Their journey is one of romance and action, you won’t regret picking it up. I highly recommend their story.
