Review:
This novella was a great start! I was so engrossed in the story I could not put it down. The relationship between Karina and Ian is strained in the beginning. Lots of action and romance cause a few changes of heart. In the end they are on the road to discover who they truly are.

Review:
The second novella is even better than the first. I still did not want to put it down. There is so much action, love, and fear in this story. Karina discovers her powers and has a 600 year old lycan after her. The author does a great job of sucking you into the story. I was very disappointed when it was over but glad there was yet one more novella to read.

Review:
This was by far my favorite of the three novellas.  Ian is summoned to the other world for judgment of his relationship with Karina. Karina afraid to never see him again, she refuses to let him go alone. The story is fraught with dangers and the loss of lives to get the couple to where they intend to go. Friends are made and loss but the fight for love remains. I enjoy this authors writing and I am eagerly awaiting more.
