Someone finally did it.
If you look at my reviews on Amazon, you'll notice something different with this book as it relates to me.
I haven't ever reviewed a fantasy romance.
That was because, up until this point, I've never even come close to finishing one.
That's not to say that there aren't any good ones, I just typically don't like the genre.
This one is different though, it had a charm to it that I haven't found.
The book is written in the first person.
Here's the interesting thing.
The narrator changes by chapter.
Typically, it switches between the two main characters, Alaric and Aislinn but there are others too.
I thought it was pretty cool.
It may be helpful to you to know this before getting into it.
So we begin in Polasia, a fantasy realm.
The warrior Alaric and his guys are kicking the crap out of monsters which is always fun to read.
They even have a healer along so I get my full dose of fantasy action (probably why I like the book).
The action is detailed but not over the top.
We switch to Aislinn's point of view.
She's on modern day Earth.
She lives with this worthless guy named Eddie.
Her life is definitely not where she'd like it to be.
Now here's where it gets interesting.
When she sleeps, she "dreams" of a man who cares about her and will listen to her and all of that.
As time goes by, she can sense him when she's awake.
At first she thinks he's a ghost.
Now it turns out that Alaric has a bracelet that lets him travel to Earth but no one can see him.
The thing is, Aislinn is different.
He falls for her.
He hits up his wizard friend Sauron (who made his bracelet) to fashion one for Aislinn so she could not only see him but come home with him.
The catch is, once she does it, she can only visit Earth but never stay there.
As the book progresses, we run into some interesting twists.
There's more to Aislinn and Sauron than meets the eye.
Also Eddie.
He's not simply the immature drunk we think he is at the beginning.
The book flows nicely and the characters are great.
Actually, the author portrays Eddie so well that it makes me want to knock him out, even though he's not real (although after working in University housing for so many years, I've known plenty of guys just like him and he IS a VERY realistic character).
You get a good package here and the Kindle version is only a little over a buck so you can't really go wrong on the price.
Enjoy!
