Damian
by D.B. Reynolds
This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
Casey Lewis is a hunter, and she is tough as nails. She has learned to have a tough skin. So when Nick recruited her to his team from the FBI for her psychic talents, she was more than ready for the challenge. But while retrieving a special artifact for her boss, she is being chased by hell-hound. On her way, trying to deceive them from her scent, she stumbles across a "stone warrior" and unknowingly releases him from his stone prison and he comes to her aid. Damian, is one of the five warrior brothers, one out of four that were imprisoned in order to weaken Nick, the one brother they were devoted to and served and would protect at all cost and above all together they were invisible. But their enemy wanted to defeat them. But now Damian has been released, and feels more alive than ever especially while trying to learn this new world and becoming Casey's partner and reuniting with his brother he would die to protect. Their enemy is cunning and deceitful and his plan to kill hundreds of innocent people, will have Damian and Casey working together to defeat him.
Damian is the first book of a new spin off series that is connected to Vampires in America-somewhat loosely though. And boy did I have some wild fun with this book!! I really liked the more fantasy and mythology themes to this story and the world building that Reynolds develops even more. What was interesting about this one was seeing the romance build and the friendship of Nick and Damian. First off the characters were all so fabulous. I really liked Casey. She is tough and a fighter, but it is all that she knows. She was raised with a military father who treated his kids like soldiers. She knows how to fight and we see a softer side to her character build in the story. She hasn't exactly been treated right by men in her life all except Nick her boss who has always believed in her. But now, she is faced with Damian who is altogether different and unique. She is out of her element with him, but holds her own with him. Damian is a character that will give you chills down your spine (but in a good way) He is very alpha male, he likes to take charge, a warrior and love what he can do with a sword, and is loyal to his brothers. I love how he worms his way into Casey's life in simple ways like insisting on driving hehe makes for some interesting bantering. It was quite fascinating seeing the story come together. Has a few quirks that I thought made the book seem even more mysterious. And yeah I can't wait for stone warrior #2.
I really like it....its a bit different. Has a bit more of a intense feel to it, but I love the grey and purple tones.
Damian is a story that brings together paranormal and mythology fantasy elements into a story that is spellbinding and engaging!! A SEXY PAGE TURNER!
