RAGE:
Elin is a witch running from her past. She wants to live
a quiet life away from people. However, things never go as Elin wishes. She
feels conflicted about helping the man who approached her for help. When a
witch becomes involved, Elin agrees to confront her. Will Elin find the place
she belongs? Or will she be forced to walk away from Rob and her feelings for
him?
Rob MacKenzie searches desperately for someone to help
his people when a mysterious illness befalls them. He happens upon the woman
squatting at an abandoned cottage on his family’s land. Rob senses Elin is not
telling him the complete truth, but he cannot stay away from her. Will Rob
convince Elin to trust him with her secrets? Or will he be forced to give up on
her?
Elin has a generous heart. However, for all her good
deeds, she has been victimized by superstitious idiots. I understand Elin’s
desire to find a place to belong. Thanks to mistakes and past actions, she denies
herself the safety of witches’ one haven.
Rob is a sweetheart. I like how he does not have
preconceived notions about witches. Rob accepts Elin for her generosity and
helping nature. I also adore his patience with Elin. He knows that she has not
been completely truthful with him. However, Rob is willing to wait for her to
trust him enough to tell all her secrets.
RAGE is the first book in Donna Grant’s
paranormal-historical romance series, KINDRED: THE FATED. It is a spinoff from
her THE KINDRED series.
RUIN:
Asa is a descendant of the First Witch’s sister. She
wants to reunite with her younger sister in Norway. However, Asa encounters a
gravely wounded Highlander who warns her of danger. She prepares for the threat
coming for her. Can Asa defeat the powerful witch targeting her? Will she get a
chance to see her beloved sister again?
Rory Sutherland is the banished third son of the Laird of the Sutherlands. He
returns to Scotland to search for Asa and warn her of the danger coming. Rory
decides to help Asa fight the enemies who want her only for her special
bloodline. Can Rory defeat the Viking chieftain who intends to possess Asa?
Will he find the place he truly belongs?
There is only one nitpick I have about Rory. I wanted to know more about his
connection with Yggdrasil. I felt that angle should have been explored more in
the story. There must be a mystical reason why the tree appeared to him twice,
unless the author plans to reveal that in future books.
RUIN is the second book in Donna Grant’s paranormal-historical romance series,
KINDRED: THE FATED, a spinoff from her five-book series THE KINDRED. The story
can standalone. The prior series sets up the world where witches reside, why
they are hated, and the factions among them. I am behind on both series, but it
did not hinder my ability to follow the story’s plot. The author does a good
job summarizing the important parts of the previous books.
REIGN:
Malene is the Lady of the Varroki. After battling the
Coven leader, she wakes far from home without any memories of her former life.
Malene adorns a new identity, a witch named Dagny who thirsts for power.
However, Armir stands in her way. The man whisks Dagny to an isolated cave, and
he claims to know her. Can Dagny escape her cavern prison? Dare she trust
Armir? And will he be beneficial to Dagny regaining her memories as Malene?
Armir is considered The Lady of the Varroki’s instructor, protector, and
right-hand man. He has always loved Malene, but he knows a romance between them
is taboo. After her disappearance, Armir refuses to believe she is dead. When
Malene returns but as Dagny, he is determined to keep her from doing despicable
things. Will Armir finally act on his attraction to Malene/Dagny? Can he
convince Dagny to give up her quest for power?
I could not connect with Malene. She just fell flat with me. I really tried to
like her but could not.
I love Armir’s dedication to Malene. When everyone else, including the Varroki,
believed she died, he never gave up hope on finding her alive. Armir instead
searched the world for her. He also refused to allow her, as Dagny, to do
something that Malene would regret.
REIGN is the third and final book in Donna Grant’s Historical-Fantasy romance
series, KINDRED: THE FATED. I suggest reading the five books in THE KINDRED
before
delving
into KINDRED: THE FATED. The former books set up the world, the situation it is
in, and the Varroki people. Malene and Armir play important roles there,
leading up to this story.
