Saved by Darkness

It’s been awhile since I have ventured into the paranormal world, and while I don’t do it often, I only do it with a select few authors. Katie Reus is one of those authors. In her newest release, Saved by Darkness we are pulled into a paranormal world filled with dragon shifters, demons and so much more. We also enter a hell realm. Creepy! The world building is amazing and the characters are even better.

The main characters in the story are Ian and Fiona and they are lost lovers. They first met over 50 years ago and are pulled apart by her family. Present day they are back together to stand up against an enormous obstacle pulling in several others willing to fight along side them. In addition to fighting for their lives, their love grows stronger and just when we think they will be together, something comes in between them yet again. Ugh!

Reus does an amazing job with Saved by Darkness. She writes an imaginative story with characters that are endearing to the reader. I enjoy the relationship part of stories sometimes more than overall plot itself and this one has it everywhere from family to lovers to friends and packmates. The action scenes are great but the emotionally charged scenes get my heart racing just as much. Oh and the love scenes are so sweet and sensual yet intense.

Saved by Darkness is a fantastically written paranormal romance full of magic, romance, action and adventure. If you are looking for a break from reality, pick this one up!

I periodically download a bunch of free iBooks in the hope of finding a good, new author or a good, new series. I found both when I read Katie Reus' "Darkness Awakens". I purchased the rest of the series immediately. One right after the other. No finding share sites or used books. When an author puts his/her all into a novel and brings you out of your hamster wheel of life into a captivating, intelligent, and enjoyably thrilling ride he/she deserves to be compensated for the endless hours of work and emotion they put into their product. I'm very grateful for the first free book. It introduced me to an author I might otherwise never have found. I'm just now finishing the series and looking forward to exploring Ms Reus's other works

As always Ms. Reus pulls you into the story and the characters are brought to life. I laughed, I cheered, and I cried. Dragons, wolves, demons, and vampires. You can never go wrong reading one of Katie's books.
Ian is half demon half dragon. He lived in the Hell realm with a brother until another brother found them and brought them to Earth. Ian realizes the woman he was to mate with, lives right near him.. She was supposed to have been mated to another dragon according to her family. Now this was fifty some years ago since he saw her last. If she's single, then he plans to mate her and make her his.
Fiona has loved Ian for fifty some years. She helps abused shifters relocate. When she goes to a local bar, she sees Ian and can't believe it. Her feelings are just as strong as they were years ago. When her establishment is attacked, she is shot with a poison dart. They go to the Hell realm to rescue her friend and find out why humans are disappearing. They are shocked by who's behind it and she's told she only has a few days to live. Will Ian lose her after all these years or will he follow her into the afterlife?
