I'm going to start by putting it out there. I am seriously crazy!!! I have never read anything by Trisha Wolfe before. Her writing is truly amazing and I deprived myself of the epicness of it for far too long!!!Astarte (Star) is fierce, loyal and extremely protective. Her duty as a guardian is to protect Xarion. And she takes that task seriously. She will do whatever it takes to keep him safe. But the lines are blurred between the two of them. They have known each other since they were children and the love that they have for each other is definitely not permitted.Some times I find that books that are steeped in history and Mythology can be weighed down with too many facts and I find myself drifting a bit through a lot of it. But this was just spot on!! The information was woven into the story perfectly and precisely.The romance between Star and Xarion was hot, hot, HOT!!! Xarion is perfectly swoony. Never at any stage does he hold back on how he feels. He knows what he wants and that is Star. They are each caring, loving, protective, loyal and devoted to the other.I'm really struggling to adequately describe the experience of reading Astarte's Wrath. I expected to be given a gorgeous guy to swoon over and a kick ass heroine to be in awe of. What I actually got was so much more. I never expected to be drawn into the story so completely. I never expected to find myself staying up late so that I could finish the book in one day. I never expected to be so completely captivated by the words written on the page. I never expected to have times where I was grinning like crazy and I definitely never expected to find times where I had tears running down my cheeks over events that were happening in the story.Astarte's Wrath was a complete reading experience. It contained everything that makes a book fantastic. Now that I have read my first Trisha Wolfe book, I will be making the time to read everything else that she has written. A truly outstanding and incredible read!!This book was gifted to me for an honest review.
