Review: Healer's Need



Healer's Need  (Ancient Ink #2)
by Rhenna Morgan 
October 30, 2018   Carina Press
When the hunter is your mate, being prey is anything but terrifying

Coyote shifter Tate Allen has been watching. Learning his mate every possible way before he moves in. Protecting her through the night, always from afar.

He’ll be the one to teach her about her gifts. He’ll be there when she changes for the first time.

With him, she’ll fulfill her destiny.

Elise Ralston loves Tate for the patience he’s shown. The faith he’s demonstrated—denying himself what he needs sexually, even as he teaches her about pleasure.

For Tate, Elise is willing to try. To revel in touch, to give him control…and to embrace her healer’s need.

But someone unknown is still stalking the clan, threatening more than Tate and Elise’s bond. And Elise is a prime target—precious for the magic she hasn’t even learned yet.

 This is the second book in the series and although it would be ok to read as a stand alone, I think you should read them in order. If anything, the world building and mythology is so very different from most paranormal tropes, you will want to be up to speed before reading this book. That said, this book starts right after book 1 ends. This is Tate and Elise's story.

Tate recognizes Elise as his mate as soon as he sees her. It scares the crap out of him and since she is new to their world, he freaks out that she will disavow his mate claim. Keeping his distance only makes him crabby and his clan mates can't help but tease him. Tate is a worthy warrior and has an even bigger heart. He is so patient with Elise and goes at her speed.

Thanks to meddling by just about everyone, they soon realize what they mean to each other and start their journey toward a life time commitment. Laid over the top of all this steamy romance is the danger of Priest's brother and what he may be up to. Lots of action around this throughout the book.

The reader knows that Tate and Elise will end up together, but what makes the story, is Elise coming into her own. She has demons from the past that threaten all that she could be. Support from the clan and love from Tate, help her to realize how strong she can be.

I really love Rhenna's take on this clan of shifters. It's unique and makes for an interesting read. She writes strong women and love crazed alpha males. That said, because it is unique, it almost may be better to read the books back to back after they come out. I found myself having to re-read the last part of book 1 to get myself back into the world again. Not that that is bad. You just won't be able to place this story line within any other paranormal trope.

LOVED!!! Can't wait for more! Jade and Alek should have interesting HEA as well.

I love a good second chance romance.  Add in a single dad and that is just about a perfect read for me. This is the second book in the Linear Tactical series but can be read as a stand alone.  

Finn and Charlotte have a history.  True lovers but parted ways with broken hearts when Charlotte did what she had to do to help her family. Now she is back in her beloved home town and comes face to face with Finn when she is hired to help his son. 

Lots of trust building before these two finally are at peace with each other.  The Tactical team gets involved with an undercover op and Charlotte gets roped into the mess.  Good amount of action in this one.  Great read that will keep you turning pages until the end.

Excerpt

One touch from her and he’d lost focus again. 
This wasn’t how this was supposed to happen. He’d been with her for less than an hour and already he was struggling to keep his shit together and had put her in danger.
As tempting as she was, he had to remain fixed on his original path. He couldn’t allow this force between them to win. Because this wasn’t for him. He couldn’t keep her.
“We have to leave,” he said before putting even more space between them. Keeping his head straight was getting more and more difficult around Eve. He needed to conduct the rest of this mission as he always did—with cold efficiency.
She nodded and went back to biting her damn bottom lip.
He tore his eyes from her, not sure how to handle this, any of it. How was he going to explain what she was to him? How did you tell someone they were the key to your salvation, your only hope? That your future and that of the free world depended on her leaving everything she’d ever known and accepting him as her mate.
A mate who would leave as soon as he’d taken what he wanted. 
A mate who could never love her.
That it was for the best because he would never, not in a million years, be worthy of her.
Eve would not be another sacrifice to this war. And that’s what would happen if he kept her. If he allowed her to get close.
People who got close to him suffered for it. They got hurt.
He’d do whatever it took to prevent that from happening again.
He glanced over at her. Keeping his shit tight wasn’t going to be easy. Besides having to deal with his overwhelming physical attraction to her, he feared his possession was moving at a faster rate. Time was almost up, and he had to find a way to explain the reason he’d come for her without sending her running. 
What if she refuses you? 
He couldn’t think about that now. Getting her to safety had to be his number one priority.
The shadows had crept in earlier, the darkness trying to take another piece of his soul. Eve had seen it, the difference in his eyes as he fought to restrain his demon. He just had to hold off for a bit longer.
And hope like hell she’d accept him. 




3.5 Stars

This is my first read of this author and I picked up the title because the synopsis was interesting. This is the first in a new series called Knights of Hell. The Knights were created to protect humans from the creatures crawling out of Hell. We meet our two leads right away and there is definite chemistry between them, although Eve is not sure what is going on.

Honestly, it took me quite a few chapters to figure out the story. I love paranormal and this obviously was a new world for me. But I felt like I was dropped into a second or third book and needed to catch up to what was going on after not having read the previous story. Plow through all that because once the world building gels, the action becomes much more exciting.

Loved the slow burn between Eve and Lazarus. Loved that Lazarus was trying to give her time to adjust to the new normal. Super steamy once they finally get together. And I am really intrigued by the half demon half angel twist. Great descriptions of all the Knights. Looks like the story line will continue into the next books. A bit of suspense and lots of action. Looking forward to more!

This is a novella in the author's new Big Sky series. It focuses on Brooke, the florist. We have met her in earlier stories. Brody and Brooke grew up together but as soon as Brody was of age, he left town. He returns years later as the new owner of Brooke's building. He wants to sell and get out of town again. Brook convinces him to follow her around for a week and then make a decision.

Short and sweet little read. Nice to meet a few more of the towns people. Also nice to get Brody's back story and see how he fits into the town with the rest of the couples we have met.

Great addition to the series.

New!!!

Carrie Ann Ryan is finally revealing the details of her secret series – it’s a YA fantasy series, Elements of Five! The first book, FROM BREATH AND RUIN, releases March 19th, 2019! See the STUNNING cover and find out more below!

Available March 19, 2019



In her YA debut, New York Times bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan dives into a world with magic and sacrifice with the Elements of Five.

Five hundred years ago, the Maison Realm was shattered, divided into warring kingdoms of elemental Wielders with fate and truth shadowed and uncertain. Now, factions of both the light and dark venture into the human realm in search of the prophesied Spirit Priestess who is said to Wield the Elements of Five and bring the two fractured kingdoms together.

Lyric has no idea that there’s a realm outside the human one she lives in. When fate and circumstances are pulled from her hands after an accident, and she finds out that nothing is at it seems.

There is a war surrounding her and when Lyric realizes that they are searching for her, she must rely on those she once trusted: a boy who isn’t who she thought, and a new realm of warriors who have come to protect her as she trains.

For the darkness is coming, and the Queen of Obscurité wants to ensure that the King of Lumière can’t get his hands on Lyric. And the only way to ensure that is if Lyric herself is no more…no matter the cost to prophecy.

About the ELEMENTS OF FIVE series

One thousand years ago, there was one realm of magic. The Maison Realm. It held five kingdoms with five kings or queens, who worked together to keep the Maison people safe and ensure the balance of magic. Over the last five hundred years following the Fall, the great war that began the fracture, many of the kingdoms’ inhabitants intermated, and the magics soon became tied to one another in pairs. Except for the Spirit Wielders. The two remaining kingdoms are now converging, and the veil between the two is fading. Only the human realm lies between the two, and no one there knows there is a war surrounding them.

Over time, certain children of the Fall began to leave their respective kingdoms to venture into the human realm in search of the prophesied Spirit Priestess who is said to wield the Elements of Five and bring the two fractured kingdoms together. For the realms are dying without their sister magics. And soon, there will be no more power left to rule the kingdoms, for there will be no more kingdoms left to rule.

From Carrie Ann Ryan
