4/5/ Angel wings for Story

4/5 flames for heat

 

I have reviewed many of Princess So and Talon Ps’ books, and it’s fair to say I am a huge fan of their writing. Having said that, this one, Keeping His Destiny, was a little hard to review. I am not a fan of this genre in particular, but I am a lover of the written word, so I picked up my copy and started reading.

In a nutshell, the world as we know it is long gone. There are no more countries, Presidents, or Kings. Instead, there are the Blood Lords. Generals from times past who have taken over, and not in a good way.

The story centers on Tannin, a man who the Keepers of Destiny are watching over, and Aari, a woman who is more than human. It is she who Tannin seeks, for she is a Symboite, and possibly the last breeder left on what is left of Earth.

In a twist, he finds her hiding in plain sight, among the very people charged with hunting down and killing those of her kind.

A mysterious being, the Edify Mother, has brought these two together for reasons that are her own but will be made known to all soon enough.

The world created by Princess So and Talon Ps is not one for the faint of heart. It’s rough and dangerous, and things we take for granted now are nonexistent in the future. Tannin reminds me of those old gunslingers from the westerns we all watched as a child. He is a fighter, and a man who wants what was promised him; his destiny. This is an excellent read, the writing so imaginative that I can picture the world as it is written in my mind. However, having said that, one has to have a huge love of this kind of genre. The words and sayings created by the authors take some time to get through, although they did include a glossary at the end of the book, just in case you are like me and got lost once or twice.

As stated earlier, I love the authors and will read anything they write. I did enjoy Keeping his Destiny, even if I did have to use the glossary once…or twice.

Review of Quantum Mates by Talon Ps.

Quantum Mates: What Torin wants Torin Gets

By Talon Ps.

Review by R.L. Bailey

4/5 angel wings for story

5/5 flames for heat

Ok I have to put a caveat here. I am not a big fan of Sci-fi. I love to watch it, but I sometimes have a hard time reading it. The words trip me up and sometimes the descriptions an author uses, I can’t quite picture in my mind. As an avid reader, being able to picture what I’m reading is a huge part of the joy for me. NOW, having said that, I honestly can say, that with this book I didn’t have that problem. Talon Ps uses the written word to create a whole new world, where humans are but one species of being. Set on a space station, the book tells the story of Rafe and Torin. These two men meet, find each other and the sparks fly! But there are rules in place for a reason. Rafe is told to keep his ‘blue hands’ to himself and that TorinLee is off limits.

Rafe and TorinLee suffer from the same condition that makes their touch deadly to everyone, hence the hands off policy. But that doesn’t stop our two men from falling for each other hard and fast. Now, the thing about Torin is, he’s not JUST Torin, he’s part of a pair. His other half is Lee, and she has her own story. This is about our two heroes’. When TorinLee is attacked, Rafe is blamed so he vows to keep his hands to himself. Well… Torin has other ideas!

The action is hard and fast, exciting to read. And the sex is so smoking hot between Rafe and Torin that for a moment I thought MY smoke detectors were going to go off!!

There is a second part to this story, our heroine Lee. I can’t wait to read what Talon has in store for her!!

I am a huge fan of this particular author, and have been for quite awhile. My only complaint is that there is a lot of technical writing in this book but that’s my issue. Talon’s imagination at bringing it all to life is superb and it was worth it to read even if I did have to read some parts more than once. Again, my old mind not the author here.

If you are a fan of Sci –fi, or of Talon Ps, or both, this is the book for you!
