OF FLAME AND LIGHT
Weird Girls #7
Cecy Robson
Releasing Oct 18th, 2016
Taran Wird holds the unique ability
to conjure fire and lightning. She is mated to Gemini, Second in Command to
the Squaw Valley Pack of the Lake Tahoe Region, and the sole werewolf to
possess the ability to split into two wolves. And although they are mates, Taran's
insecurities have driven them apart.
Devastated by an injury that left
her with a zombie-like limb, Taran struggles to regain command over her magic.
But when her arm and her power turn against her, lashing out on those she most
loves, she knows she can no longer carry this burden alone. Not that she likes
the alternative.
The only way to regain control of
her magic is to align and learn from the local coven of witches―the very ones
who sought to banish her when she and her three unique sisters first moved to
the mystical region. But although Taran is trying, the teachings don't come
easy, and the tasks leave her weak and emotionally shattered.
Yet Taran must learn and learn fast.
Time is running out. The fire she once mastered so easily has become her
greatest adversary and is now slowly burning her alive . . .

MY REVIEW:
This was the first book of the series I'd read, so I was a little lost on everyone's history. My bad. But as a grandma with a granddaughter born with her right arm ending about an inch below her elbow, I know of her emotional struggles to fit in. Is it any wonder my grandmotherly love and concern identified with Taran right away? I was on her side the whole way through the book and damn anyone who messed with her. Oh, I could have bitch-slapped Vieve and her smiling conniving ways--aren't they always the ones? And Gemini? He needed his shorts starched with fire ants. Okay, so grandma can be a little over-protective. But we're talking about a heroine who has lost her arm, had it replaced with an appendage that seems bent on destroying her, and her mate is acting all "ewww, you're not perfect anymore." She's tough, but her heart and spirit are damn near broken.
As a writer of shifters, it's always good to read how other authors write them. We each have our own style, which is grand. Ms. Robson kept me engrossed with her story of human feelings and behaviors and paranormal activities. What a delightful blend. She wove a strong story that zipped me from anger to fear to laugh out loud humor to protectiveness for Taran. If an author can make me laugh until tears run down my face or make me grab for tissues as I cry, she has a new fan. Well done. Well worth the read. And well worth my going back and ordering the prior books of this remarkable series.
MY RATING: FIVE "EFFIE" PINK ROSES...
