 Review:

If a hard core heroine with a snarky personality and similar secondary characters are to your enjoyment,Samantha Ketteman will provide dubious amounts of all. Xade Daniels learns she has only scratched the surface in assuming her unknown heritage, and powers superior to ancient's, would lead to alterations her mind nor heart could have ever prepared her. This novel is fast paced and to the point. No lingering adverbs to stretch the book out. Only an excellent story with a unique prose to satiate If a hard core heroine with a snarky personality and similar secondary characters are to your enjoyment, Samantha Ketteman will provide dubious amounts of all.

REVIEW:

     The adventures in the Immortal Essence is quite inventive. There are common areas as in most books: cults, power-hungry villains, and destiny. The beginning felt frustrating and after much consideration, it was simply because it was written for the young adult audience. The atmosphere of the plot didn't feel beguiling enough at first. It was, however, intriguing. Eventually, the day was gone, and I found myself caught up in an imaginative journey. The books turned out to be quite enjoyable. 

The tragedies the characters endured were heartfelt. The emotions of the characters are real. The creativity poured  into the many worlds and species is admirable. There were just a few grammatical errors that don't take much away from the storyline. I was thoroughly impressed at how smoothly the dialogues had progressed throughout the books. Better than in many books I've read. My rating lacks one star short of five because I felt that in the last book the protagonists didn't receive enough attention to connect on a personal level. When they did interact, however, is was pure bliss and longing. I look forward to reading more works by this author and highly recommend Immortal Essence for the young adult audience.

Rated: 5 stars 

          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blurb:

Logan Westin, the brooding hunk that steals Kailin Odel's heart in SKIN DEEP. Even the fact that she's a panther shifter and he's plain old human couldn't stop the sparks from flying between those two.

But Logan has his own little secrets, a history that weighs down on him, memories that seem to escape him. PYROS tells you where Logan comes from both in the origin of his powers and the source of his troubled mind.

Pyros can be read before reading SKIN DEEP to maintain the chronology of the books.

          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Review:

Pyros is an excellent addition to the DarkWorld series. Learn more about Logan's traumatizing secrets and many secrets he, himself, has yet to unravel. Discover how his placement in Omega came to be, and how they "helped" him cope with his agony. If Skin Deep wasn't enough to drive your hand to the sequel, Pyros is sure to do the job. As usual, Ayer's writing is flawless. Transitions between Logan's childhood and the mission that led him to Kailin Odel is impeccable. Highly recommend Pyros to the many DarkWorld fans. I am happy to be a fan as well, and thankful to the author who sent me the books in exchange for an honest reveiew. I honestly LOVED it.

If you have not read Skin Deep, Logan is a fire mage (wielder of fire). Omega is unit that brings to mind a mixture of MIB and highly trained troops. 

Some of you are in for a real shock upon discovering certain characters who are also in Skin Deep. I know it filled me with more questions and a lot of excited anticipation.
