Author Summary
Tegan always knew that
she couldn’t remain hidden forever, she left Tribane to escape the danger posed
to her by the supernatural creatures who dwell there, but every day she has
mourned the friends and family she had to leave behind. It’s been two years,
but Tegan struggles on with the new lonely life she has built for herself. She
might crave human companionship, but at least she’s still alive.
Unfortunately, all of
her hard work in running away comes crashing down around her when a familiar
face comes strolling into her new place of work one night. She considers
leaving and starting over again, but this old acquaintance has a proposition
for her, one that will see her returning to Tribane and fighting to rescue a
little girl who has been kidnapped.
Tegan feels for the
child, but her heart is also swelling at the idea of going home to see the
people she has missed the most. Can she kill two birds with one stone? Finally
she decides that she will return, but what she finds on her arrival is that her
father has gone missing, not to mention there has been an almighty war between
the two opposing sides of the city.
Throw into this her
mixed emotions at seeing beautiful Ethan again, and there is a whole lot of
confusion going on. Tegan finds herself playing the role of a spy, as she tries
to find information as to the whereabouts of her father and the girl. Even
though she is supposed to be pretending, she can’t help that she is falling for
Ethan all over again, and if he discovers her true intentions for coming back
then he might just hate her forever.
My Thoughts
Vampires, Witches, Dhamphirs, Vampire Hunters & more…this
series has it all for paranormal fans. But most importantly, Tegan’s Return is completely
captivating, suspenseful and well written. L.H Cosway has expertly delivered
another fabulous adventure in her Ultimate Power series.
I can’t say character development, plot or structure is best in
this novel because this author has strength in all areas and demonstrates those
strengths equally.
Great lead-ins to future novels and many potential directions
the series can go all equally intrigued and resulted in my wanting more.
About the story…
This is where I usually give an explanation of what the story is
all about; however, the author summary does a fine job so I won’t say too much.
There are only a couple of things I’ll add to the backstory.
Unbeknownst
to the human population, the city of Tribane is home to a whole array of
supernaturals (vampires, dhamphirs (half human, half vampire), warlocks,
sorcerers and slayers. The strong
animosity between the races caused the city to be divided down the middle with vampires
on one side and dhamphirs, magiks and slayers on the other. However, since
Tegan left, that animosity has turned into a full-scale war.
The other thing is that Tegan’s blood holds special powers that,
if discovered, would put her in major danger with vampires and magic wielders. Her
blood could give them the ability to eliminate some of their major weaknesses. So
you can see why she ran and stayed away.
About the Characters…
Our heroine, Tegan, is very easy to like. She’s not perfect by
any means but she does the best she can with what she has resulting in a compelling
and realistic heroine. She’s not an in-your-face kickass kinda heroine but
she’s brave, someone you can relate to and would want as a friend.
Ethan is a hot as hell and very charismatic vampire. Very alpha.
But despite their intense attraction and
her feelings, Tegan puts him in his place often. And he has some competition this time that completely
aroused my curiosity as to what Tegan would choose to do.
There’s a whole group of ‘misfits’ whose antics lead to quite an
entertaining dynamic. Villains aplenty, and there’s some new faces as well.
So there are a lot of characters involved in this adventure but
the author portrays them all and delivers the events so expertly that it was never
overwhelming.
Bottom Line
This is a novel/series that any lover of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal
Romance will want to check out! The author
has created a great story world, suspenseful plot and showed her expertise at creating
multi-faceted and compelling characters. She’s very adept at delivering all the
elements of her paranormal story in a balanced and well-structured way. I
highly recommend you add this series to your To Be Read list!
Happy Reading!!
