Wow! Thank you Stephanie Rowe for letting me review "Darkness Awakened", the first book in this amazing new paranormal series. You created a wonderfully new and enthralling world of calydons. I must admit, I'm a bit in love with them all after seeing the group of warriors in the first book, but let's get to the characters of the first book .Oh Quinn, complete warrior and protector, got dealt a blow when his trainees were taken out. He had only started to recover when he found one of his weapons missing as well as the thought that one of his good friends and fellow warriors may have been the cause of everything. He is determined to get to the bottom of the matter, one way or another, and find the truth.What he doesn't expect is Grace, who just happens to be his Sheva. Her sister has gone missing and she has searched him out to help find her. Once he caught her scent, she drew him back. Grace is my kind of girl. She is loyal, has some spunk, and is all heart. Even though she is vulnerable and scared of what she may do if a illusion triggers, her sister is more important. Plus she has more backbone than she gives herself credit.Quinn and Grace have an instant attraction, which had me swooning. Besides that, you have to love a story where they are determined destiny will not win and the struggle they go through to ensure it. I absolutely loved Quinn and Grace. He is a fierce warrior, but when it comes to his Sheva, the shameless, playful flirt comes out. They set the pages on fire with their passion for each other. I love a tender, possessive male, when it's directed at his Sheva, then pure warrior when it's down to the mission. When it comes to Quinn, Grace is able to feel like she isn't alone and finally accepted. I can't wait to see what Rowe has in store for us in the calydon world, but I'm already begging for more. The next book in the series is "Darkness Seduced". I, for one, am ready to be seduced. Are you?I recieved a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
