Is it possible to have so much fun, heartbreak, humor and story in one book? If King Hall is an example of what to expect from author Scarlett Dawn, we are in for amazing reading for sure! This author has set a high bar to best, and I have no doubt she will! Written for the New Adult paranormal lovers, the sexual/sensual tension is slightly toned down, but I have to say, there are some moments that run the gamut from hot to humorous, honest! The setting? King Hall is like a university for paranormals, or mystical. The courses are designed to teach an individual to use their individual powers to the fullest. So, start by picturing college students, away from home, and add supernatural elements, from weres to vampires to mages, yep, the potential for running amok on steroids! From this mix four mysticals are destined to become the rulers of their groups, but will fate step in and change the players?Now for the dark side, the world knows about these mysticals, and for the most part, there is peace, but factions want to end the existence of the mysticals and are going to extremes to see it happen. Who will survive? Are the young future rulers equipped to handle this? Only if they learn to trust each other and work together, will they stand a chance.Scarlett Dawn can write! I felt I was living each day with the four main characters and watching their growth, their screw ups and the bonds they had formed. And the supporting characters? The current Kings are like your favorite uncles, always ready to teach, demanding, but still caring, quirky and approachable. I ran the list of emotional tugs, I laughed, I wanted to cry, I got exasperated, and I started playing the mental matchmaker in my head! Loved the “secrets” and the bonds and the action!This is escape at its best, not too dark, with a story that felt right for “the big screen,” flawed characters, evil doers, kids with the weight of the world on their shoulders still trying for those “fun” moments every once in a while!Loved this book! I received a copy from Harlequin Enterprises Australia in exchange for my honest review!
