For The Love of Series Books #amreading

Are you a lover of series novels or is your life so crazy that you can’t commit to a 3-book, 4, 5 or more book series? The other problem with series is that there are so MANY awesome books out there it’s hard to choose. That’s me. My TBR pile is ginormous and there are so many fabulous authors and books and genres I like to read. It’s difficult to squeeze in all those books.

Many authors do write series because they have a bigger story to tell and because readers love series. Most are stand-alone books so if a readers pops into the middle of the series, they won’t be lost. They can still enjoy the book even if they don’t read the entire series. And at the same time, those devoted readers who have read each book in order won’t get bored with long repeated sections of previous book’s backstory. It does take a talent to write a good series. A good stand-alone book series is not like some TV shows like LOST, where, if you haven’t started watching from the first episode, forget it. Wait until it comes out in DVD and watch the whole season. Otherwise, you’ll never catch up.

 

Damned and Defiant  is the third book of my Demon’s in Exile series and even if you haven’t read the first two books, it is a stand-alone story. You don’t need the first two books to enjoy this read. This reviewer agrees: Reviews by Molly

 

My Review:
Kathy Kulig is a highly talented author and I am pleased I had the chance to review this book. It was filled with amazingly created paranormal elements, characters that grab your heart, and a plot line that will grip you til the end. I wasn’t sure how I would do with reading this book, being the 3rd in the series, but it’s quite easy to follow.

Dante’s character is hot! A demon and sexy…oh yea, baby! I loved his character. He was torn between loving a mortal woman and doing his duty as an immortal demon by returning to his dimension. He’s fallen in love with his home, his horses and his surroundings, but his Demoness has told him he has to return to Anartia soon. He only gets to take two things from his current life on Earth with him and he chooses his horses. But, it’s not where his heart his. His defiant heart is somewhere where it really shouldn’t belong.

Haley was left in the desert months ago, where she doesn’t remember what happened. All she knows is she’s in love (and in lust!) with Dante. She has no idea he’s a demon….at least at first. When she quickly falls deeper for him, she finds out he’s leaving. Can she convince him to let her change…..or give up his immortality for a life with her?

Watching these two together was sizzling hot! Their attraction is beyond breathtaking! The passion between was scorching. You’ll really need a nice tall glass of iced water when you read this novel. Watching the feelings flow through Dante was awesome. I could feel his conflicting emotions as if they were my own. And Haley…well, she was one stubborn Sha Warrior, as she’s known to the Drones.

With this 4 Book worthy novel, you’ll be taken on the ride of your life, hoping these two finally come to their senses and grab what’s right in front of them. Ms. Kulig’s writing style sucks you into the heart of the story, and by the end of the book, you’re instantly ready for more! I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next for the Drones…..as much as I hated secondary characters Valdon and Natesa, I really would love to see them again in another book! Great job, Ms. Kulig….you’ve gained a new fan!
