Review
This is book two of the Solsti Prophecy series.
The Solsti is an old, rare species of four extremely powerful sisters who are destined to save the world and all the magical realms. They2527re rumored to be nothing more than a myth but they2527re supposed to return when the world needed them the most. Now, thousands of years after their first creation, they return in the form of the Bonham sisters.
Brooke is the second oldest sister and she controls water.
Kai, a sexy Lash demon, belongs to a group of warriors called the Watchers and he2527s tasked with protecting the city of Chicago from all sorts of evil and to protect the Solsti sisters. He2527ll do it, but neither he nor Brooke can stand each other.
Neshi demons are wrecking havoc in Chicago so Brooke and Kai go to the demon realm of Torth to search for a hard-to-find flower that will help the Watchers defeat them. After they2527re captured by a corrupt Lash demon, they have to survive by working together.
I really enjoyed this book. The sexual tension between Kai and Brooke could spark fire. The trip to Torth introduced several new characters and reacquainted readers to familiar ones. We met a group of sweet, feisty elves, a kindhearted slave named Garnet and a kickass Lash Watcher named Mathias. Rosa shows up, answers a few questions and adds to the mystery. We learn more about Raniero and Ashina, and find out about their personal connection to the Solsti.
I like how the author writes from more than just Kai2527s and Brooke2527s POV. We read from Cale2527s, Raniero2527s and Mathias2527s perspective, plus a few others. This gives a well-round view of events and adds layers to the story. I also like how this book sets up the villain and the soon-to-be-unraveled mystery for book 3.
This is a fast-paced, well-written novel but a few drawn out sex scenes near the end slowed the pacing for me. A lot of people were involved in final battle but I don2527t think there was enough description to fully show each person2527s role, at least in my opinion. I just felt confused as to who did what. But, hey, that2527s just me.
I definitely recommend this book and series.
