May I Suggest Giveaway Hop & Review









In a world where being Supernatural means you’re in danger, Ash Lawson is front and center. After years of helping others escape ATOM—a government entity known for abusing Supernaturals—he’s captured, and saving himself will prove to be the most difficult task he’s undertaken.

Tryst Rivera is a Succubus and veteran at the Academy, a facility tasked with converting underage Supernaturals into cooperative ATOM soldiers. She’s endured her time mostly unscathed, but when Ash arrives and their lives are tethered to one another, she’s placed in immediate danger.

With escape at the forefront of his mind, Ash struggles with the idea of life under ATOM’s thumb. He’ll die before he converts, but his life isn’t the only one he’s responsible for, and he already has more blood on his hands than he can bear. When a chance for freedom arises, Ash needs to decide how much—and who—he’s willing to risk for a second chance.





Review...


When I want good fantasy, this is the author I choose.  I guess because his fantasy is always based, in some way, with the world I know.  It never stays in that world but it's enough that I don't get lost.  This books is no exception.

Ash Lawson is an angel in a world where supernaturals are hunted and angels are distrusted...even despised.  Always on the run and trying to help his fellow supernaturals, he's devastated by a loss that hits him hard.  In his weakened state, he's captured and sent to become a tool for the government, like he would though.  But not everyone or everything is as it appears.  Wading through who to trust and who to fight, Ash must recover from his losses and find a way out of a "school" even an angel can't escape.  

I love Ash.  He has a big heart and even bigger doubts about himself.  Trying to make the right decisions, he makes mistake after mistake.  But he doesn't want to hurt those that he's learned to trust and care about.  He's in an impossible circumstance and I admire his strength and conviction.  No doubt I was cheering him on and hoping a miracle would happen.

The friends Ash makes along the way were easy to love.  Tryst is amazing.  Strong yet wary, she wants to stay away from Ash and his overwhelming problems.  She's lived in captivity safely for awhile and there's no point risking what she has.  Yet what she has is captivity.  It takes her some time to figure that out and to decide what she's willing to risk.  Her desire to protect Soren is sweet and I loved her more for it.

And Soren.  Oh, Soren.  So love him.  His nature is tender but he holds so much strength.  The secret he keeps even from Tryst and his desire to take care of her had me falling in love with him.  Their relationship was very much like siblings.  Both fiercely protective of the other; both willing to sacrifice to help the other.  So sweet.

As for the cast of enemies?  There's a long list.  Colby is at the top of my hate list.  He did something that I can never forgive and I hope he rots in hell for it.  So you might have noticed that this book invokes my emotions.  This author is good at that.  But Gage, Gareth and Hendrik?  Not fans of them either.  They may have some reasons for their crimes but I don't like them.  Not one little bit.

The writing is deeply descriptive.  This book can transport you to a world like you've never seen and hold you there captive until you finish it's pages.  It's one of my favorite things about reading this author, the pictures he paints in my mind.  Very enjoyable.

Looking for good fantasy with great character and even a kiss, then look no further.  Give this one a try.
