Review:
The Storm is a raw, beautiful, tumultuous love story set in Hunter's Irin Chronicles world. Within minutes of opening the book, I found myself once again surrendering to the author's lyrical, hypnotic voice - a siren's song luring me back to this world and characters I love so much. Beautifully written, The Storm is another masterpiece in one of my favorite fantasy series ever!
The wait for Max & Renata's story is finally over. Through a series of flashbacks, readers are privy to the dance and battle of wills that have occurred over the past eighteen years between Irin Scribe Maxim of Riga and Irina warrior Renata. And now, at the top of a mountain in the middle of winter, their paths have crossed once again. Max is half frozen when he knocks on the door of Renata's ancestral home, knowing in his heart it is do-or-die time - his last chance to convince Renata to accept him as her mate and make a home with him. If she refuses again, he'll walk away. Renata is as determined and strong as ever in her convictions to resist this magnificent male. Both still suffer from the long-term, devastating aftermath of tragic pasts. What will happen when Renata is forced to face hers?
The Storm is a compelling, action-packed story that held me captive. Hunter's settings are always so rich in imagery - teasing the senses and transporting readers across miles, straight into the heart of characters and stories. The Storm is no exception. The story may be short on pages, but it delivered all I could ask for and more. A plot that flawlessly weaves past and present while cracking the door for the future, complex characters carrying baggage from past tragedies along with a burning desire for one another, and a setting to get lost in, one that will take your breath away. All that and seductive, passionate love scenes . . . who could ask for more? Another Must Read in this fabulous series!
Song for the Dying is the second novella in this book, and it's also a heart-touching story that will bring tears to your eyes. I'll just say that Max and Leon are called back to their childhood home and must finally come to terms with their past. Another magically written, Must Read addition to the series! Perfection!
My Rating: 4.5 Amazing Hearts . . . And that's the truth!
