Kindred: The Fated Trilogy

I had already read the books contained in Kindred, The Fated Trilogy, but I couldn't resist the complete collection. For me there is nothing better than sitting down to read a series and not having to search for each book. Like the energizer bunny I just kept going and going until I finished the trilogy. The stories were still fantastic. The entertainment factor was off the charts, made glorious by the continuity.

The trilogy contains three stories, Rage, Ruin and Reign. All are great on their own, but together---just WOW.

Rage is a thrilling forbidden romance. Witches are believed to be evil. Elin doesn't expect to ever experience love until Rob shows up looking for help with a curse on his clan. Curing the clan puts her in danger. I had no clue that a clash between two witches could be so dramatic and action packed. I had never thought that just a few people in combat could be a battle. Witch power changes everything. Thanks to the author I could easily picture the battle in my mind. JUST WOW!!!! Book Coma!!

Ruin filled me with anticipation for a battle yet to come. I had high hopes for a dramatic battle from Donna Grant, the queen of fantasy battles. The author did not disappoint. The buildup was intense. The story was glorious. Their journey to the battleground was wrapped in danger. Every step took them closer to an unknown end. I had know clue what would happen when they made it to The Witch's Grove. I can't thank the author enough for blowing my mind. Intense Book Coma!!

The final story will have you searching for your seatbelt and getting ready for a wild ride. The first two books were crazy reads, packed full of action, drama and witchcraft. Reign is overflowing with all three. Amir, a Varroki Warrior has found the woman he has been searching for. He has found his Malene. But she is no longer his Malene. In a desperate move, Amir imprisons the both of them in a cave. She is gambling on finding a way out, a way to escape. She no longer has her magic thanks to a spell Amir placed on them and the entrance but that won't stop her. She does have determination, strength and the blue glow of the Lady of the Varroki. She doesn't realize what she is getting herself into. Amir goes searching for Malene not realizing what could happen.

Oh My!!! I was left speechless. It was just one shocking moment after another. Chapter after chapter of cliffhanging moments that I refused to leave. Suspense and action filled the pages of the trilogy, earning me a magnificent ending. The ending was worth every gut clenching moment. I am totally comatose.
