Review of Dawn of the Seraphs by Adrianne Brennan

Dawn of the Seraphs by Adrianne Brennan
Synopsis - Tamar is a Seraph, a member of an influential organization of powerful psychics known as ANGEL. Seraphs are humans who have evolved to have varying psychic abilities. Possessing a greater lifespan and intelligence than ordinary humans, Seraphs within ANGEL grow to their full potential through study and practice.

In the year 4287 on planet Earth, ANGEL has deteriorated to become the harbor of the bored elite. A small but passionate rebellion rises to take back the power they once held. In pursuit of his own dreams, Tamar is caught in the chaotic struggle for evolution, power, and to define the greater good.

Kir, an old rival from his days as an apprentice within ANGEL, resurfaces, threatening to shred Tamar’s world into bits...along with his heart. Their ideals clash, and a bitter fight ensues between them. Can Tamar’s courage save Kir from the darkness which plagues him while remaining true to himself and what he holds dear?


4/5 Whips by Terry Kate

And I will tell you why - IT WAS TOO SHORT!  Adrianne Brennan builds this fabulous and captivating world and then only gives us 60 pages of it!  I kid you not, at least 10 times I looked up to compare the page I was on to the 60 page count down and was so sad about how close I was coming to the end.  I loved the two main characters and wanted more then just the tease and tidbits of their past together.  This is a hot M/M and just a fabulous futuristic story.  

There is such a complex society within the book that often I felt I was speeding past it with no way to slow the train down.  I realize that having a complete story in such a limited page count is no easy feat and this was one of the most successful I have ever read.

Adrianne Brennan is a truly impressive author who I hope and pray will go back to this story and make it 3 to 4 times longer.  Please ma'am I want some more!   This is a worthwhile read even if it left me ready to go a little Misery on the author.  I am not often a fan of futuristic and this is amongst my favorites I have read.

Table for Three by Missy Martine Reviewed


Table for Three 
Cass Abernathy is heading to Oregon to claim an inheritance. She doesn’t expect to find sexy twin brothers determined to make her theirs, or an amorous attorney holding on to her inheritance. Will she accept the love offered, and discover the truth about her inheritance before it's too late?
[Menage Amour: Erotic Ménage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, May-December]  
3/5 Car Horns

A Table for Three by Missy Martine is the story of a divorced, abused woman who decides to change her life by leaving her native state, all that she knows, for the property and home left to her by a deceased uncle.  During her stay in Mountain View, Oregon, she falls in love with identical twin brothers. The situation is a problem for Cass, who had been physically abused by her ex-husband, whom she had sent to jail, but has not psychologically handled.

 There is a certain warmth that lures the reader into the storyline in a very slow manner, however there seems to be a few flaws with the story that if rewritten and corrected could make it even better. The characters of Cass, David and Matt are well-set in the storyline and the main idea is unique, but there are a lot of details that are mentioned within it that just hangs in the story.  For example, there is the repeated mention of the ex-husband throughout the story so that one would expect him to make a guest appearance. Also there is more than one emotional display of jealousy by the lawyer's secretary, Serena Dammler, that is never resolved. An unique and surprising twist in the story because the culprit is never a suspect until the end.
 The author of this book shows an unique flare for writing, and this tale of woe between Cass and the twins is a good one, but it leaves a lot of hanging questions and suffers from a lack of flowing long conversations between characters to really cement the story together, however, I think it is an exceptional story that is well written and brilliant in its concept.

I would give this novel a three out of five for content/hotness and I think in the future, this author will indeed show tremendous works of exquiste novels, so she is an author to watch and read.
