FROM THE DESK OF
DONA PENZA TATTLE, ESQ.
AND
ASSOCIATE WRYE BALDERDASH
Tattle
and Wrye loop arms as they jump into a review of UNBALANCED by Courtney Shepard, a paranormal romance.
Tattle clears her throat and begins, “Long, long ago four young girls were abducted by the Master, and henceforth generations of four sisters are pulled back to the current Master of The Order. The sisters’ powers grow with every generation; thereby The Order’s need for that power intensifies. They cannot exist without it, and they have a decisive and heinous end plan.”
“This
latest generation of sisters had been separated at birth yet they are all still
hunted.” Narrowing his eyes, Wrye offers a sinister snarl. “And they feel it, believe there is something
more to their existence and soon those reasons unfold even as the threat of
death dodges them. This is a tale of
four powerful women who have the ability to command the element of nature. Asha, the main heroine of this story, is fire
and is as independent and tough as they come as well as quite explosive when
her temper is ignited.” Uses both hands to imitate the universal symbol of
something exploding.
“Her
love interest, Clay,” Tattle sighs the name, “… has his own mysterious depths
and from the first you feel he might pose a threat. Still, he has been drawn to
her, believes he to be the woman power who has haunted his dreams, La Guerrero Reina, the Warrior Queen. He
pledges himself to her, but there is something more to this hot-to-the-bone
hero, and their romance has the curve twisting velocity of a roller coaster
ride as their passion increases and their love strengthens despite an
unwavering sense, woven into the underside of the story, that smacks of
betrayal.”
“The
backdrop of the story also shows the persistent struggle of women through the
ages in life and in religion. The prevalent magic underpinning the story, along
with the slow unveiling of the truth behind The Order, and the reason for the
sisters’ power is fully compelling. Good
and evil has its place as well, but neither is pure which makes it all more
human and realistic.”
Tattle
adds, “The characters are all well-drawn with the sisters being very tough,
no-nonsense and determined. The men they are drawn to, with a future promise of
possibilities, also exhibit that fighting spirit, and they too share a
mysterious aura that keeps the reader wondering at the truth. The sexuality of
the book has steam and heat enough to pull you into the romance, yet is delightfully
devoid of any crudeness or obscenity, making the various elements of mystery,
romance, fantasy, magic and danger all the balanced.”
“Courtney
Shepard wove a tale that stays with you days past reading it.” Wrye gives his
serious and penetrating look. “The plot was swiftly paced, cleverly written while the
dialogue was brisk, addictive and true to life. If there is any complaint it is that
it ended too soon. I want to read more
of this universe, uncover the finer depths of The Order, the deeper mystery
behind the sisters. These feelings, I believe the author, skillfully and
deliberately provoked with the purpose of sequels, one for each of the sisters, Ivy, Mere and
Avia, of which I am looking forward to reading. UNBLANCED is a book with a
hook! If you enjoy the paranormal with strong female leads, this is certainly
the story for you.”
Hope
you all enjoyed our reviews! Until next month, keep reading.
