No one ever promised forever would be easy.

Her gift was to see….

Dianthe’s second sight has always been both a blessing and a curse. She can’t control her visions, yet they’re unerringly accurate, until an erroneous prophecy results in the destruction of her homeland. The revelation crushes her spirit and endangers her role as an officer in the rebellion to take back the kingdom of Paragon.

Sylas, dragon shifter and exiled prince, is the leader of the rebellion, but he can no longer rely on his mate Dianthe’s psychic powers. His inner dragon is secretly pleased to relegate her to the sidelines. Even if his decision temporarily drives her away, he’d rather have her angry than dead. Or worse.

When changing circumstances accelerate the rebellion’s plans, Dianthe’s fairy roots make her the only one who can perform a dangerous and necessary task. Her need to prove herself soon collides with Sylas’ desire to protect her and strains their connection to the breaking point. Dragon mating bonds are eternal, but if Dianthe and Sylas don’t find a way back to each other, not only will their marriage fail, their mission to reclaim Paragon will as well.

Sylas, the dragon and his fairy wife Dianthe, live in the fairy realm of Paragon. In the last audiobook, Dianthe helped a dark fairy, but now it looks like she is betrayed them. Sylas is concerned for his wife’s safety as they prepare to battle the Empress, and questions Dianthe’s visions. Perhaps she has been be-spelled? This causes tension between the couple.

Meanwhile, the rest of the siblings and their wives, the three witches prophesied to end the Empresses reign, are traveling to an island ruled by a god. As the brothers gather, they are joined by others and one of the Elven. Together they must collect orbs which hold the key to saving Paragon.

The story that unfolds was suspenseful and dark. Trust is key, and watching Sylas and Dianthe work through their problems kept me engaged. Their mission was intense, from vampires to near death escapes. It was totally addictive from beginning to end. The time is drawing near and the author teased us with hints of the next book and the overall story arc.

There are currently ten audiobooks and I cannot wait to binge The Dragons of Paragon, Colin’s story.

The story is narrated by Holly Adams, who brings these characters to life from their accents to their powerful personalities. From the moment a character speaks, I know exactly who it is, thanks to the unique voices she has given them. Her male voices are well done. I highly recommend listening to the series.

Todd David Gross’s Loy: In the Forests of the Mind is a one-of-a-kind post-apocalyptic narrative that offers a unique perspective on humanity’s resurgence after a catastrophic event. This gripping story takes place thousands of years into the future and follows the Rehloy, descendants of mankind who have evolved in remarkable ways. Through the use of a plant with mystical properties, the Rehloy have become a species that is deeply attuned to nature and their own minds and bodies. Living in harmony with the environment, the tribe has thrived. However, when the Rehloy’s spiritual guides feel a significant change in the world, Jormah, one of these “Kwaman,” sets out to find answers beyond their community. This quest leads him to explore a devastated North America, where he encounters dangerous carnivorous grass and experiences full-body psychedelics.

Gross’s portrayal of the Rehloy is genuinely remarkable. These unique descendants of man possess supernatural abilities that are depicted as almost elvish. Their movements, interactions, and shared consciousness are profoundly spiritual and full of self-reflection. Gross does an exceptional job of conveying the perspectives of these reflective individuals, highlighting their connections to each other and the world. Their level of empathy is extraordinary, as evidenced by the birth of a child who is ultra-sensitive to his surroundings and causes physical harm to those around him. However, not everything is idyllic in this new world. The land has been invaded by the Ontarans, who seek to colonize the territory. The Ontarans walk a different path, one of fire and steel, and remain much closer to their ancestors’ appearances and destructive ways. While the Rehloy and their interactions are fascinating, the Ontarans and their goals leave much to be desired.

Overall, Loy is an incredibly original Epic Fantasy story that offers a fascinating and thought-provoking look into the future of humanity. This dystopian view of what the world could be and become is a combination of mystical and horrifying. Gross’s depiction of the Rehloy is simply excellent, and their story is one that is not to be missed.

R.A. Van Vleet’s Dark Traffic is a gripping novel that will keep readers captivated from start to finish. The author masterfully weaves an intricate plot full of twists and turns, providing a comprehensive view of the narrative’s setting and events. The book delves into heavy themes, including death, sexual harassment, and violence, demonstrating the author’s diligent research and ability to skillfully weave these elements into the story. One of the standout features of the book is how well the author explains technical concepts, such as piloting an airplane or navigating government procedures. This adds to the authenticity of the story, and readers will be left eager for more. Despite the fast-paced narrative and multiple scenarios playing out simultaneously, the story’s creative direction is justified when all the threads are woven together in a climactic finale. The characters in Dark Traffic are another highlight. Although the book is heavily focused on action and thriller, the characters are multi-dimensional and become more complex as the story progresses. This provides a sense of realism in a violent setting as readers come to understand the characters’ intentions and reasons for their actions.

Dark Traffic is a remarkable crime-centered novel that will have you hooked from the first 20 pages. Regardless of age, I would recommend it to anyone interested in mystery and crime. Dark Traffic has the potential to spark conversations about taboo topics and promote more open-minded perspectives on these issues.
