Shoulder the Skye

Full disclosure, I am a huge fan of Donna Grant. Having said that, I am giving an honest review of this book. The story continues for the Druids of Skye and this one did not disappoint. I don’t know how Donna continues t give us superb stories in her writing, but she does. This is the story of Elias and Browyn and spoiler, a house with magic. Wow, I love it. Donna is a magician with her writing and her stories draw you in, make you feel like you are part of the story and know her characters. She gives you sorrow, joy, love, laughter in her stories and you feel like you are immerse in the settings. I would love to see Donna’s books made into a mini series and know they would be a hit. I strongly suggest you read this book and all the others in this series. I can’t wait until the next one.

Oh My Word!! I can't believe all the twists and turns that occur in Shoulder the Skye. The story grabbed me from the very beginning. I didn't want to put it down. I hid in my room so I would't be interrupted. The story took control of my day, nothing else mattered. Shoulder the Skye is filled with mind blowing conspiracies. Different groups are coming to the Isle of Skye and it isn't for Ariah's tea.

This is one story that I wish I could have read faster. The anticipation was pure agony. I was curious to see what would be revealed. I needed to know who would survive. It was so hard not to skip to the end to see how it would end. I would have missed so much if I had cheated. The author has built a world that continues to grow. Every time I think things are calming down, she floods the pages with more evil, more sinister characters, more treachery.

Bronwyn has returned to Skye after the death of her father. The residents do not welcome her with open arms. She has her reasons for what she has done, but no one cares to ask or knows her secrets. Drastic times will need drastic measures. She knows a battle is coming. She plans to face her past on her own. Elias has different ideas.

Someone wants Elias gone from the Isle of Skye. In Iron Ember, book one of the Skye Druids it was mist, that tried to kill him. Now he is being set up for crimes he did not commit. The question is not only who, but why.

Elias is drawn to Bronwyn. He refuses to let her fight on her own. He wants to stand by her side. The tension between them sizzled. The sex was off the charts but it was the trust for one another that had my heart all a twitter.

Nothing expresses their love more than the battle in front of the manor. Donna Grant always entertains me with the battles in her books. But this one has become my favorite. The battle was intense. The battle was full of surprises. I was on cloud nine. This is one battle scene that will be hard to be topped.
