The End of Hatred by Rebecca Hefner

The End of Hatred (Etherya's Earth Book 1)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The End of Hatred is the first part in a series which takes the readers into a world created by goddess Etherya. This world consisted of four species namely, the Slayers, the Vampyres, the Deamons and the humans. There was a time when the Slayers and the Vampyres used to live peacefully with each other, however, because of one instance their truce ended and the species were at war. Both Miranda and Sathan aspired to bring peace among their kinds and to end hatred. However, there were too many obstacles to overcome to achieve this goal and they fought valiantly to overcome those obstacles.

I loved how different yet so alike Miranda and Sathan were. Sathan was stable to Miranda's impulsive nature and the calm to her storm. Sathan had an aura about him that made him very intriguing and likable. He was authoritative when needed to be, level-headed and practical. Miranda was fearless, passionate and at times a little impulsive but that just added more character to her personality. She was strong and courageous and was willing to do anything for her people.

I loved how Miranda and Sathan's story developed both individually and as a couple. Sathan loved Miranda even though he was reluctant to admit it and it showed in their every encounter. I liked seeing how Miranda grew a lot as a person throughout the book and a large part of it was due to Sathan. Sathan was always there for her even when she lashed at him and of course him being sexy-as-sin made him more appealing. Both Miranda and Sathan had to go through some horrific tragedies to reach their goal but as they say life isn't always a bed of roses.

The supporting characters added charisma and intrigue to an already intriguing book. Heden and Arderin were adorable. Kenden was a warrior, strong and silent. I had my suspicions about Darkrip from the beginning which turned out to be true but I never would have guessed to motive behind it so kudos for keeping the readers hooked with that. The only thing I can say about Latimus and Lila is that I can't wait to read their book.

I think Rebecca Hefner has portrayed everything so clearly and beautifully that it actually feels like you are in Etherya's Earth which is a feat in itself. I am excited to read everyone else's stories and would definitely say this book is a MUST READ!

The Elusive Sun by Rebecca Hefner

My rating:  5 of 5 stars The Elusive Sun far surpassed my expectations. If you liked The End of Hatred then you will absolutely love The Elusive Sun. A big congratulations to Rebecca Hefner for writing yet another enthralling novel. The Elusive Sun is the story of Latimus, Sathan’s brother and the vampyre army’s commander and Lila, the sweet aristocrat who will definitely win your heart. I was so excited for their story ever since I first came across the two characters in The End of Hatred and I must say it was worth the wait. I think I liked Latimus even more than Sathan. Even though he was mean before, his transition after what happened to Lila amazed me. He was strong, sweet and so romantic in his efforts to court Lila that it made me swoon. But, at the same time he was a warrior at heart. Lila was kind, resilient and her true strength was highlighted after she suffered a major tragedy. I loved how Latimus was always there for Lila and vice versa even when they did their best ...

Trigger by L.P. Dover

My rating:   5 of 5 stars “A killer . . . that’s what I am. It’s what I do.   It’s what I live for.” These lines were what made me decide to read Trigger even before finishing reading the synopsis.   Trigger is a story of love, justice and revenge. It is a story of family and brotherhood. It is the story of Preston Hale and Emma Turner. Preston Hale is a part of a secret group whose main aim is to get justice for those who escaped the legal system. Emma Turner works as a personal assistant for a very powerful man, Glenn Chandler who was the key to bringing Preston and Emma back together.   There was a time when Preston and Emma were very close, right before Preston disappeared without a trace. Fast forward a couple of years and Preston and Emma meet again and their chemistry was stronger than ever. Initially, Preston was not very good towards Emma but his true feelings came forward when Emma’s life was at stake. I loved what all the Chandlers did to bring Pre...

Eleanor & Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

My rating:  5 of 5 stars “Our love story was so much more than a romantic tale. Our story was about friendship. About family. About looking out for those who always looked out for you.” This quote described Eleanor and Grey’s story better than anything. This story shows that all you need is love and time to mend the broken pieces of a person’s heart. This book is one of a kind and will stay with me for a long time to come. Eleanor and Greyson first met when they were teenagers and Ellie was going through a tough phase of her life. I really loved how Grey was always there even when Ellie distanced herself from him, always helping her deal with her pain and heartache because he understood what she was feeling. I loved how resilient Grey was and how different he was from the characters we always read about. Even though he was popular and a star basketball player, he wasn’t self-absorbed or cocky. He was down-to-earth, patient, kind and lovable. On the other hand, Ellie was strong,...
