Review: Unborn (Unborn #1) by Amber Lynn Natusch

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Born into mystery. Shackled to darkness…

Khara has spent centuries discovering everything about the Underworld―except her place in it. But when she’s ripped from her home, solving the riddle of her origins becomes more important than ever. With evil stalking her through the dark alleys of Detroit, she finds salvation from an unlikely source: a group of immortal warriors sworn to protect the city. Khara needs their help to unravel the tangled secrets of who and what she is—secrets many seem willing to kill for. But time is running out, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer necessity binds her to an arrogant fallen angel.

Can their shaky alliance withstand that which threatens her, or will her soul fall victim to the unholy forces that hunt her―those that seek the Unborn?

From the author of the bestselling Caged series comes a pulse-pounding new series of supernatural romance.

My Review:

After spending centuries in the Underworld, Khara is suddenly thrust in the middle of Detroit and luckily found by a group of immortal warriors sworn to protect the city and it’s good thing too because every supernatural out there is gunning for her in this thrilling urban fantasy.

This steady to fast paced plot keeps readers on their toes with lots of suspense and action. The author brings the story to life with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and the strong compelling characters draw the reader deeper into the story while the well orchestrated suspense and excitement ensure that the reader wants to know everything about this intriguing woman and her new found friends.

There is some flirtation in the story…the kind that has sparks flying everywhere, but is that in anger or in passion…well that part is only just beginning so well have to wait to find out about that. But the reader can’t help but get caught up in this complicated and fascinating combination of mythologies that make up this world and the characters are an intriguing mix of personalities that demand the reader’s attentions.

The story is full of secrets that must be unraveled if Khara is to keep her soul and spine tingling anticipation builds as more is revealed about Khara and just what she is and the danger escalates throughout the story since evil has decided they want Khara on their side… or is that the true motivation behind all the attacks. Well there are certainly a lot of surprising twists to keep you guessing just where the story is going and what will become of Khara and her friends… While I thought the beginning of the story seemed a little slow it was very intriguing and I just had to know more and am I glad that I did because when the story picks up it is non-stop action and suspense. (Note: when I say seemed to drag a little… I do not mean that there is nothing happening there definitely important things going on and I really can’t pinpoint a reason why I felt this way).

About Amber Lynn Natusch:

If you’re dying to know more about me, allow me to put you at ease. I’m a sharp-tongued, sarcastic cancer, who loves vegetable smoothies, winter storms, and the word portfolio. I should NEVER be caffeinated, and require at least eight hours of sleep to even resemble a human being. At thirty-four, I just now feel like I can keep a straight face while saying the word “rectum” (which is actually a huge lie because I just laughed out loud while reading this to my husband). I live with my iPod firmly affixed to my body, drive too fast, and laugh/cry at inappropriate times.
