REVIEWS


Kylie Griffin
Vengeance Born was given 4.5 stars over at Bookaholics Romance Book Club (5th review down). Here is a snippet:
"Vengeance Born is a spectacular fantasy series that I could not stop reading!!
...
This is fantastic story anyone for anyone who loves a good fantasy yarn with some solid romance. I can’t wait for the next book to come out. The world building in this world feels very authentic and genuine, and many readers will easily relate to the prejudices that Kalan and especially Annika must deal with. Both are very noble characters with great integrity and good intentions who form an unlikely and touching relationship. The journey together challenges Kalan and Annika, and I loved how they grew to slowly admire and care for each other. There are also some surprises and touches of deep humanity which readers will find themselves quickly caught up in the story.


This is a riveting read with genuine and worthy characters that find unlikely love, challenge prejudices and strive to save humanity."


It was also given a 5-star review over at That's What I'm Talking About. Here's a snippet:
"As we’ve said before, the sign of a well-written book is that it lingers in your thoughts days or even weeks later. Vengeance Born is one of them, the characters and world followed Gikany and Una for days, even into our dreams. We cannot wait until the next novel in this incredibly rich world."
