CRIMSON REALM CHRONICLES

Inside the Book

Title: IN SEARCH OF PRIDE
Author: Gabriella Bradley & Taryn Jameson
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Pages: 24
Genre: Fantasy/Scifi/Paranormal/Shifter

BOOK BLURB:

Bound by a curse, Brenn must find a way to save his pride.

Brenn returns from a war far from his home to find that his village is destroyed and his pride missing. With the help of his guardian dragon, Ciara, he sets out to find his missing family and pride.

After Ciara saves Brenn’s life twice, he begins to realize that he isn’t as invincible as he once thought. He must accept his limitations and the help of his lifemate to keep him safe.

My Review

I personally liked that IN SEARCH OF PRIDE also included the prequel CARNAL TWILIGHT (Prequel). As it allowed me to get a better understanding of Brenn and how he became the man that he was in: In Search of Pride. Ciara really added a nice magical element to the book that drew me right in!  I personally found this book to be a bit on the short side, but the other books in the series made up for the short length of the first one. I was just glad that I had the next books already available as it allowed me to go from this book directly to book two.

Title: THE DRAGON’S LION
Author: Gabriella Bradley & Taryn Jameson
Publisher: eXtasy
Pages: 172
Genre: Fantasy/Scifi/Paranormal/Shifter

BOOK BLURB:

Danger, lies, and betrayal forge the path to unlocking the secrets Brenn seeks.

The rescue of Brenn’s pride sets off an angry tirade from Cewrick that results in curses that almost cripple the Crimson Realm and all of Ierilia.

With the help of Ciara, Brenn leads his crew through the bowels of the planet and the forbidden forest to unlock the secret of defeating Cewrick. But will his defeat end the reign of terror on their world?

My Review

The Dragon's Lion was even better than In Search of Pride and I was much happier with the length of the book. I really like how the author expanded upon the world that was created in the first book in the series and I felt like I gained a better picture of the Crimson Realm and all of Ierilia. While I enjoyed Brenn's character it was really Ciara that made me interested enough to keep reading. Overall, this was a well written book that I enjoyed reading!

Can Erica accept a future with Laro or will she let hate and betrayal decide her fate?

My Review

The Sword of Betrayal ended up being my favorite book in the series. I really loved how Erica became a main character in this book and I like Laro as well though not quite as much as Erica! This was a wonderful end to the series that left me hoping for the author to add more books to the series in the future!
