Georgia Lyn Hunter’s paranormal romance Absolute
Surrender is awesome! After being banished from his world Aethan was sent
to earth and made a warrior to protect humans from demonii. He encounters Echo
just after she kills one of these demonii
and it’s on from there.
The
book has so much depth and so many layers that I want to start a book club to
discuss it. I enjoyed the heated romance between Echo and Aethan which sizzled
in the beginning and eventually burned white hot (he he he- read the book to
understand my mirth). Their relationship was strong, if not rocky. But as with
all good romances, the HEA ending made me sigh.
Georgia’s
writing style is very descriptive. She
is able to set the worlds she has created in your mind’s eye. I wish I could
say I enjoyed travelling to hell, but no I did not. I'm sure that was her intention. The
fight scenes were wonderful. I’m a fight scene affection-ado and hers were intense with well choreographed movements. When the sword came from… sorry no spoilers here, but it was so
cool.
The
conversations were witty and engaging, making me chuckle at points. The fact
that these huge tough warriors also had a sweet tooth entertained me to no end.
I
absolutely love a strong female heroine and Echo did not disappoint. She had a
bad upbringing, but was able to fight instead of giving into the harshness of
life. I liked that. One thing I didn’t like about Echo was that she didn’t always
make the best decisions. That annoyed me, but not enough to stay angry with her
for too long. I know the story needed the drama of her bad judgment to make the book progress.
Georgia Lyn Hunter should not keep me waiting for a sequel. I fell in love with all of the
warriors and want to read each of their stories, like yesterday.
If
you want a book full of action, romance that will make you blush, and some fantastic writing, then Absolute Surrender is for you. I give Absolute
Surrender five chocolate bars out of five. Damn
it! Georgia took all of my chocolate!
Note:
I was given an ARC of this book in
return for an honest review, but I wanted to read it comfortably on my beloved
Kindle so I bought it from Amazon.com. Pick up your copy today, I promise that you
will not be disappointed.

She only wants to be normal…
All her life, Echo Carter wanted “normal,” an impossible feat given that she can see demons. Now she’s determined to hunt down the demonii responsible for the death of her friend—and no man, no matter how sexy, will stop her—until she discovers a horrifying truth about herself, forcing her to turn to Aethan. But when two stubborn wills collide, a dangerous passion ignites…
As evil closes in, will this warrior overcome his darkest fears and claim her as his—or lose her to a far more sinister fate.
I love books that generate discussion, so this one sounds great.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that cover!
The cover is fantastic. I interviewed her and she said her daughter came up with the idea.
DeleteNana, thank you for such a wonderful review, and for chocolate bars--when do I get them? Forget the warriors, I need to settle my own craving :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to read this review, you understood them really well. Yes, Echo didn't always make the best decisions, poor girl, but she will continue to driving Aethan crazy :)
You are very welcome. I only wrote the truth. You have written a wonderful book and I'll talk about it until I'm as blue as Aethan's gorgeous hair.
DeleteLovely review! I couldn't put the book down, as utterly depressed once it was over. I loved being immersed in that world. I can't wait to revisit it in book 2!
ReplyDeleteMe too Tana. I slowed down when I got closer to the end. Georgia can really write. I think Book 2 will be fantastic. The should release it tomorrow so I don't have to wait.
DeleteI'm not particularly fond of this genre. You've done a good review though
ReplyDeleteThanks Celestine. You are awesome.
DeleteParanormal romance... five chocolate bars out of five.... looks very very interesting!
