Traveller is a new adult paranormal romance by Abigail Drake. (It is marked on goodreads as adult, but the main character is college aged, and the overall story had a new adult vibe, in my opinion.) Traveler has everything a good paranormal romance should have in my book. Interesting creatures/powers, a secret society is always a plus, a mysterious adventure, and great characters. I really enjoyed this one.
Emerson and Michael are the main characters. I liked both of them a lot. Emerson has a dry sense of humor that had me snickering throughout the whole story, and Michael is pretty swoon worthy. There are some weird quirks throughout that left me a bit puzzled, like the whole part of the society where women were not allowed to leave. I still don't get that one.
As much as I loved Emerson's sense of humor, her reactions to some of the situations she found herself in seemed underwhelming to me. I liked that she took things as they came at her and didn't loose her cool, but some of the things warranted a little ruffling of the feathers in my book. And she was still just cool as a cucumber. On one hand, I admired her ability to remain calm throughout almost anything (since that is a skill I certainly do not possess.) but on the other hand it made her seem a bit robotic at times. However, that was the only disconnect I felt with Emerson. She is a kick ass lady and I really want her to be on my side. She keeps up with the action in Traveller so well, and she can handle anything that is thrown at her.
Traveller is a really fun ride of a read. I wanted the ending to stretch out a little more, but there was so much going on and the pace was only getting faster and faster towards the end, it was all I could do to keep up. There will even be some unexpected twists, for even the best of the twist guessers out there!
Bottom line: Traveller is a solid paranormal romance read with a good chunk of action and adventure in the mix.
