After reading Claimed by Power, I was wondering what happened to Thea and Cam. Ruined by Power, the second installment in the Empire of Angel series was published last week and now I can tell you about them. 

Not all habits can be broken…

Powerful, half-angel Thea faces the scrutiny of the Angel Realm and is beginning to realize that angels are nothing like how they are depicted in the human world. She is intrigued to hear information about her family and pursues the history that has been hidden to her for so long. As Thea tries to get the answers she needs, her faith in Cam is shaken when truths about him are revealed.

Power angel Cam is concerned when he realizes the Angel Realm has plans for Thea he wasn’t made aware of. He fights to keep her close and protect her from the challenges she faces. However, when the pressures on their relationship bear down, he teeters on the edge of a darkness that could cause her to walk away from him forever.

Ruined by Power is the second book in the Empire of Angels series, a paranormal alpha angel romance series. If you’re a fan of alpha heroes, powerful heroines, paranormal worlds and destined mates, start with the first book, Claimed By Power. 

***About the end: This book is a continuation of Cam and Thea’s story and there is cliff-hanger at the end.***

Sexual scenes and strong language included. Not suitable for readers under 18.

Thea and Cam are now in the Angel Realm. They discovered they are natural mates and want to ask permission to mate. But since they set feet in the realm, things started to get weird. 

Elithea was called to train with other angels due her special powers. There she met Dani, who became her friend. Thea ignores too many things about the Angel Realm, the purpose of the different kinds of angels and what will happen with her and Cam, but what she know for certain is that she loves him.

Cam can't be appart from Thea. The separation from his natural mate has him on edge, so he asked Zak for advice and help. When he finds her again all the heat and the passion explodes. Their chemistry is even hotter in this book, it's amazing. The raw emotions, the need for contact... loved it!

Then Thea must start a difficult mission. To find her mother and discover her real nature. The doubts and the sadness will rock her world, but Cam will be there for her. The time pass and they don't find any clue about Thea's mom. Cam is required to start a mission on his own and he's forced to leave Thea behind. Their apparent peace starts to crumble, the light and peace they find in each other starts to dissapear and Cam succumbs to rage and darkness while in his mission. Thea is worried about him and wants to help him, but Cam is stubborn...

I enjoyed this book a lot. The previous one was good, but this is awesome. The narrative rythm was improved, the characters and the plot evolved nicely and I can't be more in love with the story. Thea and Cam has to fight some difficult battles, and the cliffhanger at the end is crazy, but really loved how the author developed Ruined by Power. There are many surprises in this book, and many questions in the air to be resolved in the next book. I highly recommend this to all the PNR lovers. Personal note: Can't wait to read it Awakened by Power!

What's next in this series?

Awakened by Power

Coming on August 7, 2017.

Claimed by Power by Zoey Ellis is live! 

Let's celebrate together this new release talking about sexy and supernatural stuff! *wink*

Thea Robinson has never needed anyone’s charity. Sure, her impoverished existence isn’t desired by most, but her ability to manipulate people’s emotions helps her to blend into the shadows of an unforgiving city. When hideous creatures threaten her life, a surly but gorgeous stranger shows up revealing a world she didn’t know existed. She refuses to put up with his rude, arrogant attitude, but how do you dismiss a warrior angel? And does she really want to when his stormy gaze sends delicious thrills straight to her core?

Cam is one of the most ruthless Power angels in the fight against evil. His devotion to kill demons has made him a celebrated warrior in the Angel Realm, even though his motivation stems from grief. When he is assigned to train and protect a half-angel just coming into her abilities, his rage is unparalleled. Until he realizes Thea isn’t like any others. She stirs a carnal passion in him that he can’t shake. He never counted on her being so beautiful… so fierce… so most definitely his.

I've been a fan of Paranormal Romance for a while. I lost the count of the books that I've read and I've enjoyed through the years. Lately, and because of the predictable that the Paranormal stories where turning to me, I started to try different things. Claimed by Power was a wonderful excuse to read PNR again and now I'm going to talk you about this book.

I met the author thanks to a email, and she kindly asked me to read her work. I was thrilled because I love discovering new authors and stories. It's exciting! In this first talk she explained the storyline to me and I was totally intrigued! I had to read it!

A few weeks later I received my ARC and falled in love with Cam and Thea. To tell I enjoyed the story is an understatement. Angels and Demons, the eternal fight between good and evil, is the background for this romance. Duty, fears, love, lust and secrets are part of the mix to spice up this novel, and the author is amazing shaking things off.

Thea is an intriguing character, strong and smart, loyal and passionate, but there's too many things she doesn't know about herself or about her family. She started to see strange criatures, ugly demon-shaped things, and she thought she was losing her mind. Danger is creeping around, closer than she imagine. The good and the evil fighting even if she doesn't know it, and her life is about to change when the misterious Cam appears in front of her. 

Cam is a warrior. His body is a weapon, strong and well trained. He's ready for the battle, he knows how to beat every enemy, for the only thing he's not prepared is for train a nephilim. Especially if that nephilim is as attractive as Thea.

They despise each other. Thea refuse to lean in a man, no matter if he's human or angel. She's very capable to stand for herself, to protect herself... at least that's what she think. But there's more danger than gangs and thiefs in the streets. And Cam will be assign to train her and protect her. 

Their attraction is undeniable. The way their bodies respond to the closeness, to every touch, is almost magical. They will fight their attraction, but some battles are lose before are started. 

Thea needs Cam to learn how to fight against the dangers threatening her life, and Cam needs Thea to learn how to feel again. Together they will be unstoppable, but some love stories aren't easy. This is one of those.

I enjoyed this book a lot. Loved the characters and the way the author narrates every detail about them, the scenery, the beautiful and the ugly, the background stories, the secrets threatening with be revealed, the dialogues... I loved every single detail. There's some traditions about angels and demons, some stories taught by the different religions, but Zoey Ellis plays freely with them to develop this novel. She creates her own rules, her own universe, and that's wonderful.

This book is a standalone, but the story about Cam and Thea follows in the next book (TBA). I recommend this book for all the paranormal romance lovers, or simply for all of the readers who enjoy a good love story.

Atención fanáticos del romance y de la fantasía: 

Desde hace apenas unas semanas está en línea esta historia de Lucía Arca (a quien tuve el placer de conocer gracias a Wattpad) titulada "Heaven. El hilo rojo del destino", una propuesta maravillosa que se desarrolla entre dos mundos. Uno real, cargado de recuerdos dolorosos; y uno onírico, en el que una amenaza invisible rodea a los protagonistas de esta novela y que pretende truncar un amor que estaba destinado a ser. Así, pues, la original trama de la joven autora española combinada a la leyenda del hilo rojo del destino dieron como resultado la historia de Heaven y Jared. Una historia de la que estoy perdidamente enamorada y que hoy quería recomendarles.

Sinopsis:

Heaven huye a la Gran Manzana en busca de una nueva vida; esta muchacha vital y soñadora languidecía en la casa a la que un día llamó hogar, reconvertida en su propio infierno. Sus sueños se están viendo alterados por extraños acontecimientos y por una presencia abrumadora, un ser al que se encuentra extrañamente ligada y el cual la llama por un nombre que siente tan propio como el suyo. Jared intenta escapar de una existencia repleta de excesos y un pasado doloroso que no logra superar, atraído a la emblemática ciudad de Nueva York por un vínculo inquebrantable, un lazo místico que pervive a través del tiempo y el espacio; la promesa de un futuro mejor. Los caminos de ambos se cruzan y, tras un comienzo abrupto, sus destinos quedan irremediablemente entrelazados…

«Un hilo rojo invisible conecta a aquellos que están destinados a encontrarse, sin importar tiempo, lugar o circunstancias. El hilo se puede estirar o contraer, pero nunca romper»

Esta novela pueden adquirirla a través de cualquier plataforma electrónica: como Amazon, Casa del Libro o Google Play. Además, pueden sumarla a sus estanterías en Goodreads e intercambiar comentarios con su autora una vez que finalicen la lectura.

Hace un par de días terminé de leer uno de los títulos que tenía pendiente de la saga Dark Hunters. Y es un libro bastante largo, pero lo terminé en solo un par de noches.

Por unos años he seguido esta serie, pese a lo difícil de conseguir los títulos en el país, así que fue una sorpresa muy agradable que unos amigos me regalaran este tomo. Gracias chicos :)

Styxx, el hermano gemelo de Ash, había sido tomado por una especie de villano. A mí, personalmente, siempre me había intrigado. Desde la primera vez que lo leí, en Night Embrace. No lo juzgué, pero no volví a leerlo hasta mucho después, cuando Ash se enfrenta a Stryker y deben rescatar a Tori. En fin, que tenía mucha curiosidad. Así que, aquí vamos.

¿Los hechos?

Desde su nacimiento, los gemelos fueron condenados a estar separados; de alguna manera el pequeño Styxx se las arregló para mantenerse junto a Acheron con el lema "forever and always", pero su padre tenía otros planes. Crecieron sufriendo una condena que no merecían, padeciendo el mismo dolor y necesitando las mismas cosas. No voy a profundizar en esto para no hacer spoilers a quienes no han leído el libro (o aún no conocen la serie). Solo acotaré que los humanos solemos juzgar sin tener todas las perspectivas de la historia, y eso pasa con Styxx. Fue juzgado, condenado y castigado sin que nadie se molestara en conocer lo que pensaba o sentía... excepto una persona. Bethany. A pesar de toda la tortura y el sufrimiento que rodea a Styxx, también hay una conmovedora historia de amor aquí. 

Son 836 páginas divididas en 2 partes. La primera narra los hechos de 11 mil quinientos años antes, el nacimiento, niñez, adolescencia y edad adulta de Styxx; mientras que la segunda parte se concentra en el presente (nuestro presente), en esta parte también aparecen partes de otros libros de los Dark Hunters y vemos a personajes como Talon, Nick, Savitar, Simi, Sin, Katra y Urian, entre otros (del último les adelanto que recibirá la sorpresa de su vida).

Otra nota: Si aún no lees ningún libro de los Dark Hunters, si disfrutas de las historias que combinan acción, aventuras, fantasía y romance ésta serie es para tí. Y cuando la leas y tengas tu cazador favorito, te invito a comentarlo conmigo ^^

Sé que he estado dando bastante lata en Twitter con el asunto, pero estoy bastante emocionada con esta historia... y nerviosa, ya que es una gran cosa para mi escribir sobre vampiros en un contexto no-romántico. Esta entrada es solo para compartir un pequeño booktrailer que hice para presentarles la historia ^^
