Great fantasy adventure about Amber; both a misfit and a bullied shifter heroine, who discovers her unique strengths with the help of a blue-haired substitute teacher on a mysterious quest. It is simple but well written and gives a good picture of the emotions of the beleaguered heroine. Exciting action and important questions to answer, including how much Amber’s powers really evolved.
It’s short, which is fine, but I didn’t realize it would end with a major cliffhanger. So far everything is flowing nicely, great world and character building, and lots of slow burn romance going on. I love to know more about heroine Amber and where she ends up!

Good book in the seven wardens world. We get to meet a new set of characters in this one and they are just as good.
Great intro to the rest of the team
In this novella we meet Amber and Izban when they first meet. I really liked their adventure through the catacombs of the school – so creepy cool. This story adds some great flavour to the Seven Wardens world, and sets up events for Into the Mists.
This is a quick read that had me so steaming mad in the beginning but then by the end I had different emotions.
I will say that Izban is super sexy & hot! I also wanted to jump in the book & smack Tamsin on the back of her head for what she and her lackeys were doing to Amber! Anyway, I digress.
I recommend this novella
This is a quick read about a shifter at school who is getting bullied and her teacher. It was cute and funny. Amber and Izban are funny.
This is book 1.5 in the series Seven Wardens written by duo Greenwood and MacKinnon. A spin off, short story that is Amber (lighting) and Izban’s (ice) story. This book is fast paced, well written and a great addition to this series!

This story is character building… Amber and Izban’s story. Amber is at Ben Vair college and about to graduate…. she’s in the class bully’s sights who has already torn her tail off a few times now. Luckily it’ll grow back but evidently it’s uncomfortable without it. One of the staff has shown her a room in the basement where the enchantments help her to grow it back quicker. While there she meets a ghost with whom she becomes friends with. She runs into Izban in the hallway then again in one of her classes, as he’s posing as a substitute teacher. Izban is on a hunt for items for his grandfather, which is why he’s at the school. Several items are there and he just has to find them…. one of the items takes him to the basement the day Amber is there trying to regrow her tail. They bump into each other and when he tells her what he’s looking for she shows him where the item is at and once they collect it Amber introduces Izban to Bea. Bea finds out what Izban is doing and sees the list and tells him the items are for a spell to make someone immortal… I think this is a trick by The Voice. AMber and Izban decide to destroy the item they just found, thinking that will thwart his grandfathers plans. However they walk right into The Voice’s plan and he barges his way into Amber’s mind and snatches her right out of the air. Izban goes to where he thought he saw her fall but there is no one there and no clue as to where she went or how. Now Amber is missing and Izban is determined to find her. So far everything is flowing nicely, great world and character building, and lots of slow burn romance going on. Looking forward to the next book.

This was a great look into how the characters met that we meet at the end of the first book in the series. It was a great insight into who they are and how they met. I loved the banter between the characters. It was a great read and the ending gives more clues as to who the villain is in the series. I have my suspicions but I won’t say.
Five out of five stars.

This book is part of a series and I recomend reading in order to get the best out of this book. I really enjoyed this book as it gives you a look at some of the characters and how they got to where they are. There is a lot of emotion in this book as you travel the lives of the characters.

Amber was always getting her tail taken off by the bullies then she would go down the old biology lab to grow it again. Agreed to help Izban with his quest that his grandfather the elder mage sent him on but a ghost told that they were for immortality. They went to destroy what they had and Amber got kidnapped and tortured by the voice in her mind.
A Seven Wardens spin-off, this can be also read as a stand alone book.
Here we meet a shifter named Amber who is on her last year of college and being bullied by fellow classmates. Read on to see how she overcomes this after meeting Izban and gets swept off into an adventure with him.
In the previous book we learned of the Seven Wardens and Macey has found herself in love with three men, all are Wardens. Cam is Wind, Flint is Fire, Jared is Earth and Macey they assume is Water. From the poem we also know Lightening is imprisoned and Ice is searching for her. They’ve found Ice but before we continue, this book tells us all about Lightening and Ice.
Amber is Lightening and a Beithir, her kind don’t usually come into power until they turn twenty or so, and she is only eighteen. In her human form she has a tail, one she keeps hidden under large shirts. Since finding out she can regrow the tail a group of shifter females have made her life difficult by tearing it off.
Izban is Ice and a Mage, he is on a quest of sorts for his grandfather. In order to have access to where a couple of these artifacts are hidden, he poses as a substitute teacher. He learns some interesting things about the students and the school, but knows he can’t do anything about the injustices he sees.
It’s as he is searching for the second item on his list he runs into Amber, she knows where the item is.
She also introduces him to a ghost residing in the basements of the school. She’s the one who tells him what the items on his list are for. It’s at that moment Izbar knows he can’t complete his task or return home.
Fast-paced, adventurous, flirty and snarky, you won’t be able to put this book down.
I liked this short and being able to see more about these two characters we have come to know from the Seven Wardens series
Amber is a beithir shifter, kind of a mix of snake and dragon, a very rare kind of shifter. She is in her last year at school and looking forward to its end, as there is a group of women who bully her.
One day there is a new teacher, Izban, a very unusual teacher, and together with him and a resident ghost Amber unlocks some of her magic.
This is a standalone book, but binds into the story of the “7 Wardens”.
I really enjoyed the balance of feelings between Amber and Izban, how he is trying to help her, but also letting her find her own way when necessary. There seems to be a near perfect balance between them.

This is a stand-alone and a much welcomed part of this author’s From the Deep series. This is a time before Amber became the lightning warden, attending the college for supernatural teens where she first meets the brooding mage Izban. I loved reading about the earlier time of their relationship. Made me appreciate and enjoy the rest of the series even more.

Through the Storms was a great intro story to Lightning and Ice (Amber and Izban) from the “From The Deeps” series. It just made me want the second full book of the series to come out that much sooner.
Amber is a Beithir, a snake shifter. She;s in school and the tail snatching is really getting old. Her classmates take her tail just to see how often and how fast she can regenerate her tail. Striding through the halls she bumps into a big blue wall, a man who she finds out is her teacher, Mr. Smith or Izban. He does the storm casting class and is surprised that Amber has bucket loads of magic within her but has no idea that she does. No matter, he;s there for a purpose. While searching for a ruby he runs into Amber in her Beithir form and is totally amazed and perplexed and wondering whether it;s a coincidence or a put up job of his grandfather to test him, especially since she seems to know where to find what he;s looking for. Then Amber introduces him to Bea, the resident ghost and her foresight into what his grandfather has him looking for totally stuns him.
Darling story about two people totally different from each other but both full of curiosity that can make a bond for good or ill.
Fantastic read and story!
