"I love the variety of the paranormal elements inside this series"
Keira Kelly has come into her powers. Earlier than expected
and stronger than they should be, it seems she is the next
heir. Of course Keira isn't ready to be an heir and her
great-great-grandmother Gigi is doing a great job of
leading the clan. So why should she learn how to use her
new skills? She would happily stay where she is in Texas
and ignore it all. Then Gigi summons Keira to visit her and when Gigi says
jump everyone asks how high. Luckily Keira has some great
friends to offer her support on the trip. Her shape shifter
brother, his boyfriend, a Sidhe cousin and her vampire
lover are all travelling with her to Canada. The trip
doesn't turn out to be all that bad. After all, a private
family jet picks them up and they get to stay in a gorgeous
penthouse condo. But then things start happening. People go missing, people
start dying and suddenly Keira isn't needed as urgently as
she was summoned. Something is going on and Keira isn't
about to stand back and ignore things. Keira is a force to
be reckoned with. Heir or not. This is the third book in the Blood Line series and it took
me a while to get back into things. However thanks to the
author adding some history from the previous two books in
the first couple of chapters everything started falling
back into place and I was back with Keira. There were lots of surprises and revelations in this book
and I found myself thinking 'What can possibly happen
next?'. There was a certain wow factor to some of the new
information that became available and I had no idea what to
expect next. The story twisted, turned and weaved a spell
full of magick and paranormal delights. I really can't wait
to see what this series will bring with it next time around. If you haven't already tried the Blood Lines series then
give it a go. Make sure you start at the beginning though
as the story isn't one you can jump into anywhere. One of
my personal favourite aspects of this series is the use of
the Welsh language and the ties to my home land, Wales.
However, the other thing I love is the variety of the
paranormal elements inside this series. There is something
for everyone and it's set in a world worth visiting.
