Book Blurb

Alistair, a walking fantasy, is dangerous, deadly, and willing to kill all evil with a flick of his sword. He practically walked out of a romance novel.

 

This isn't fantasy, it's real life, and Kevin is pregnant with Alistair's child when evil rushes to the front door to attack. They know Kevin is alive, and they want him dead. Murdered in a past life by this same evil force, Kevin doesn't want a repeat, and luckily Alistair won't let anyone get between him and his mate.

 

Alistair will do anything to protect his lover. Kevin died in their previous life, but Kevin is back, and he may hold the key to everything Alistair and his brothers lost, which is why a sworn enemy wants his mate kidnapped and killed. Alistair hasn't wielded his sword in a long time, but for his mate and unborn child, taking up the blade and being the protector he used to be comes all too easy.

 

Book Review

Yes! More Alistair and Kevin! They may be together, reunited now that Kevin has been reincarnated centuries after having been murdered by an evil force, but that does by no means end their problems. In fact there are quite a few things they need to figure out if their relationship is going to stand a chance in the face of the immortal knights’ old enemies, the evil witches, renewing and increasing their attacks. The secret organization of the knights is supposed to protect humans and shifters alike, but centuries after all the knights’ mates were killed, they are out of practice.

Kevin is, so far, the only mate who has returned to life. Yes, he is a man now, but Alistair doesn’t care and the baby Kevin’s female version was pregnant with when she died has somehow been reincarnated with Kevin – resulting in male pregnancy of a different kind. A large part of this story is not just about Kevin and Alistair reacquainting themselves with how much they love each other, but also with Kevin rediscovering old powers and figuring out that he has new ones. From the sound of it some of them will come in awfully handy in the upcoming battles.

Alistair will do pretty much anything to keep Kevin alive, but his fear of something evil possessing Kevin gets in the way and the result was shocking. I think Alistair and the others learned from it, so by the time the next surprise happens and they face more unknowns, they are a little more ready than when they ran into Kevin. There is a lot more for them to learn, and the story arc with all its revelations and developments has only just begun, but they make a start in this second book, and it looks promising.

If you like the idea of immortal knights doing never-ending battle with evil creatures, if a story full of revelations, surprises, and unexpected twists and turns is your thing, and if you’re looking for a read that is only the beginning of some scary and yet exciting developments, then you will probably like this novella.
