Recent Release Review: Black Rook (Cornerstone Run Trilogy #1) by Kelly Meade

Blurb:

She never saw this coming…

Brynn Atwood is a low-level Magus whose unpredictable precognitive powers have made her an outcast among her people—and an embarrassment to her highly-regarded father. After a frightening vision in which her father is murdered by a loup garou man, Brynn decides to prove herself by finding the killer, and stopping them at any cost.

Her target is Rook McQueen, the son of a small-town loup garou Alpha. Despite being the youngest of three, Rook is first in line to inherit the role of Alpha, a duty he isn't sure he's capable of fulfilling. When Brynn finally meets Rook, she doesn't expect the attraction that draws her to him—and him to her.

No longer believing him a murderer, Brynn and Rook strike an alliance to find her father's real killer. But when his older brother is targeted by an unknown enemy, Rook will have to choose between his growing feelings for Brynn and his duty as the future Alpha of his community.

INCLUDES A PREVIEW OF THE NEXT TITLE IN THE CORNERSTONE TRILOGY, GRAY BISHOP

My Review:

An outcast magus, Brynn Atwood’s precognitive abilities leads her to the loup garou and Rook McQueen, the first in line to inherit the role of alpha. What she doesn’t see coming is the attraction that draws them to each other. Both will have to make impossible choices to save the ones they love when an unknown enemy attacks the loup garou in this riveting shifter romance.

The fast paced and smooth flowing plot immediately grabs the reader’s attention and doesn’t let go until the very last page has been read.  The author brings the story to life with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and the well orchestrated drama and suspense draw the reader deeper into the story with strong compelling characters and action scenes that are exciting and believable.

The attraction between Rook and Brynn burns up the pages from first sight despite the fact that they are supposed to be enemies, but the relationship progresses slowly throughout the story due to lots of mitigating circumstances but when they finally come together the passion explodes from the pages singeing the reader.  The reader can’t help but get caught up in their story as the reader empathizes with their emotional turmoil. Brynn learns things that totally turns her world upside down and Rook is torn by his attraction to Brynn when he knows that she would never be accepted as an Alpha female. 

Spine tingling tension builds continuously throughout the story as every second reveals more information and brings more danger to the Cornerstone Run pack. The author spices things up with some refreshingly different elements and surprising twists that keeps the readers on their toes.  I was totally caught up in this fascinating story and the captivating characters from beginning to end and I can’t wait to read the next book. As a side note, I have to say that I am totally in love with the McQueen brothers and I love their cool names.

5 STARS 3 FLAMES

Cornerstone Run is a paranormal romance trilogy, set in a world of hidden loup garou, their mystical Magi enemies, and the occasional vampire. The small, reclusive town of Cornerstone, Pennsylvania, houses an almost entirely loup garou population—one of only thirteen towns around the country that serve as a sanctuary for their nonhuman inhabitants, where the loup garou are free to be themselves. When a neighboring sanctuary town is attacked by a vicious, unknown enemy, the three sons of Cornerstone's Alpha must stand together to protect their people—and the women who steal their hearts
