My Review:

The second book in the Defender’s Blood series is an intriguing read that keeps the reader on their toes.  Alex and Zach discover that not only is Alex pregnant with twins but that she’ll be giving birth sooner than they think.  All does not go well and with the impending birth comes an unspeakable evil – an evil that wants just one thing. It wants the babies!

This steady paced plot keeps the reader’s on their toes with lots of suspense, action, drama and romance.  The author describes the scenes with vivid imagery and details that capture the imagination and the action scenes are well orchestrated, believable and make the reader feel as if they are part of the action.  The author does a great job with the timing and building the tension with lots of suspense throughout the story and the reader gets caught up in the story as the couple try to handle everything that comes with an impossible pregnancy and the upcoming battle with the demons.  The characters are strong, compelling, easily related to and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning.

The romance between Zach and Alex still burns extremely hot and the frequent sex scenes scorch the reader with a vibrant intensity that the reader can feel the couple’s passion for each other.  The reader can’t help but get caught up in the drama of everything that happens to this couple as they await the birth of the twins. The story also has the romance and drama of the other couples that spice up the story and really draws the reader in making them feel as if they are part to this supernatural community and the reader goes through the emotional gambit from smiles, chuckles, tears, anger, fear and joy.

I was completely engrossed with this story from beginning to end and there was no chance of getting bored with all the intrigue and action taking place.  I really like how all the characters and people from afar joined together to protect the little ones, even strangers it really captures the heart.

About A K Michaels:

(Off author’s site)

I have always loved words. Always had my head stuck in a book. Much to the chagrin of my long suffering husband. He would sometimes have to physically give me a poke if he wanted me to listen to him sometimes. I have always had stories in my head and started to write them (or type them) as a kind of therapy. I have OCD and my therapist would listen to all the weird and wonderful things in my head. One day she asked why I didn’t write them down. I was reluctant at first – my head is a scary place to be! However, once I started, it just didn’t stop and before I knew it I had quite a few books. My next obstacle was actually letting someone read them. This took me a while but eventually I let my daughter and sister have a peak. They loved them and urged me to do something with them. What? No – I was terrified of that.

Again I was more than a little reluctant but started to look into things. I trolled and trolled the internet getting as much info as I could. Found a lovely guy who does my covers. Took a huge deep breath and pressed publish. It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done!

Now here I am attempting to set up a website! I’ve come a long way from those jumbled words in my head and I hope this is just the beginning. Hope you all come along for the ride.
