Guardians of the Cross by T.R. Graves (The Warrior Series #2)

Synopsis:

Allison La Crosse's world is in a tailspin. After learning she has the power to cure the dying with her touch (a lethal curse when wielded), she is viciously attacked. More unsettling than the violence is the identity of her assailant. Devin turns out to be the first person she ever saved and her mother's killer. When her soul met Devin's an unbreakable bond was formed. Now, Allison must save Devin - again - from his twin brother's control or kill them both. If she fails, she'll lose those closest to her...including the love of her life, Brody, and her best friend forever, Clark

Review:

I was quick to pick this up and crack the spine of this book. The cliff hanger ending in book one seemed to end so abruptly I couldn't help but clap when this came in the mail.

I was not let down either, in this addition of the series you get a little bit of everything in it,  from the tingle of passion, the heart warming romance to the  blood pumping action scene's that will keep you on  the edge of your seat.

I became addicted to this tale as I read about the lives lost, end the emotions became tangled as relationships were put to the test.

Rating: 4 stars.

Warrior of the Cross by T.R. Graves (The warrior Series #1)

Synopsis:
Allison La Crosse, beginning a challenging family medicine residency, leaves the protection of her family. With the transfer, her worst nightmares come true. Her closely guarded mystical talents – those which seldom appeared before the move – unleash themselves from her confinement and reveal their presence with very little provocation.

Allison’s most terrifying power is her compulsion to cure the dying with her touch. Given her career, this gift would be valuable if she were not drawn like a magnet to the ailing person's every symptom. Some of which are fatal.

At the hospital and surrounded by life-and-death emergencies, Allison’s inability to manage her impulse turns deadly. When it does, her mentor, Brody, rescues her from her own demise. His resuscitation ignites an exciting and tempestuous bond between them.

Desperate for a cure, they join forces and embark upon a journey to uncover the origins of Allison’s lethal curse. In the midst of their adventure, Allison exposes a secret pursued by many…known by few.

Warriors of the Cross is Book One in The Warrior Series.


Review: I was excited to give this a good read. It is not often that you find the medical and paranormal world melded together let alone in such a way that absolutely worked.


I for one was appreciative of it mainly due to the fact that my fiance is going through nursing school and it gave me some insight how hectic life can be.

I liked the reasoning and history between the healing gift. In fact there is even a bomb shell dropped that even I didn't see coming , which is hard because given how much I read I can pretty much see almost any plot twist thrown at me.  I actually thought the complete opposite was going to happen, but I will leave that for you to find out about as you read, can't spoil the fun after all.

My only problem was how much our heroin seemed to cry all the time. It seemed like every other page something happened to her and she was bawling like a baby. I just wanted to tell her to put on her big girl panties and deal with it. 
My question for everyone is. Clark or Brody? Who are you rooting for?

Favorite Character: The sister's.
Rating: 4.5

My Teaser:

"Camille walks delicately. Like a Faun in the woods. Not like a Duck"

" I do not walk like a duck."

"I like ducks," Jem observed diplomatically. "Ecspecially the ones in Hyde Park." He glanced sideways at Will; both boys were sitting on the edge of the high table, their legs dangling over the side. "Remember when you tried to convince me to feed a poultry pie to the mallards in the park to see if you could breed a race of cannibal ducks?"

"They ate it too," Will reminisced. "Blood thirsty little beasts. Never trust a duck."
