Fight for the Fae (The Mirrored Prophecy #2)

October 1st, 2015
I was glad to be picked for an honest review of this book. After reading the first book, Power of the Fae, I was eager to know what would happen to Lina and if they’d manage to defeat the demon King.

Well, this book did not fail- though I’d admit it was shorter than the first one, I found it more interesting because the action is not drawn out- rather it is quick and you’re onto the next scene- which is in pace with the story. No one but the demon King wants to rule the world- and everyone is in a rush doing what they can to stop him.

So, the story starts with Lina this time. She decides to give herself to the demon King in exchange for her brother, Keegan. As Melomouzor prepares to celebrate her presence and claim her, Lina discovers that she is pregnant with Colin’s child.

Now, wait…say what now?

Yes, Lina is pregnant but she is in the underworld and Colin is going mad growling and snapping at everyone in the human realm and has no idea of this new revelation. Besides, there’s also Malia (one of the wolves) who cannot wait to sink her claws into his fur and make him hers.

While in the underworld, Lina gets her guards and maiden to do as she bids and together they start a revolution against Melomouzor, but at what cost?

I did not have many expectations with the first book- except not to be bored to death! But with this one I had a list.
1. Everyone had to get off Lina’s case
2. Keegan had to open his eyes and step back and let Lina morph into a woman.
3. Lina’s Father had to make quite an appearance in at least four chapters. He’s her Father and he’s the only one who can silence Keegan, he’d better show that boy of his!
4. Colin had better stop growling and claim Lina already if that would stop him from trying to kill any man who touched her.
5. Please, some more of Dorian…I can never have enough of vampires.
6. Melomouzor has to be defeated.
7. No more backstories.
8. Please, someone tell Malia to make an honest move on Colin or just to back off!
9. Lots of action.
Let’s just say that I was disappointed that numero quatro did not follow through! I cannot wait to read the third book, things just keep getting better and I’m beginning to like this demon King- he doesn’t break or lose easily.

Power of The Fae (The Mirrored Prophecy #1)

September 30th, 2015

I am grateful to Ariel Marie, the author of The Mirrored Prophecy, for granting my request and allowing me to read her books.

The Power of the Fae, marks the revelation of a prophecy that the Ancients spoke of. One version said that a small female of mixed heritage would give birth to a child who would save mankind, while the other version said that this child would be the downfall or demise of mankind.

The story begins with disappearances of mythical creatures and various leaders start to suspect that something evil is happening. Things get worse when they learn that those who disappear are taken by demons- and that would mean only one thing, Melomouzor, the King of the Underworld is up to something.

Princess Arlina, or Lina as her friends and family call her, is sent on a mission to the human realm to look into this and she is to work alongside the Wolf Pack of Colin Mackenzie, who some reason could not stop growling or gunning for a fight in this book! The two, Colin and Lina are drawn to each other. Before they even make sense of what is happening in the realms, demons attack them and in the process, one of them tells Lina that their King wants her. The rest of the book follows their journey towards protecting and ensuring that the demon King does not harm Lina.

However, I was both intrigued and held back by some things in this book and I’ll start with intrigue…

Lina is strong and she struggles to prove that in every scene in this book. Her older brother, Keegan, knows she is a Guardian but he is overprotective and there’s a constant battle between them. When the demon King’s intentions towards Lina are known, everyone suffocates her towards inactivity under the guise of protecting her- and this got on my nerves!

I love heroines who kick-ass!

On the other hand, there were so many times that I found myself telling Colin to “chill!” I know he’s a wolf and an Alpha and his instincts tell him that Lina is his mate- but he growled more than he killed demons.

Aside from the backstories in most chapters, I did find Lina’s determination encouraging. She is small and everyone expects her to wear dresses and sit while they run around protecting her, but she gets out and fights just as much as the guys. She is bold. I mean, would you approach an Alpha at two in the morning to ask if he is drawn to you?

All in all, I’m glad to have been introduced to Lina and Colin’s world, I wonder whether they’ll defeat that demon King…
