As allegiances shift and new powers align for Alexandra Ivy’s Guardians of Eternity, one immortal defender knows the sweep of change brings danger—and possibility . . . On the edge of the Mojave desert, out of the lights of Las Vegas, even a werewolf can expect a share of peace and solitude. For Ulric, the last surviving member of a pack hunted through centuries, it’s one of few places he’s willing to drop his guard. Until he spots Brigette, a beautiful wolf-woman he thought dead long ago. When he gives chase, he loses her—and discovers he’s being followed himself. His pursuer is a zephyr sprite, Rainn, on the trail of a frightening prophecy she can’t predict or understand. All she knows is that Ulric is at its center. If he’s determined to find Brigette, she’ll do what she must to keep him with her. When the search leads them to a place where Ulric’s ghosts and Rainn’s portents intertwine, a lurking evil waits to swallow them both. But as they fight for survival, their need for each other will become impossible to deny . . .

MY REVIEW
How this author is able to keep me giddy and excited book after book throughout this series in beyond me.
The action is right on par and had me gripping my kindle. I loved the scene between Rainn and Zella but the final fight was a little disappointing. It was really short and a little too easily resolved.
The romance between this couple is a slow burn. There really are no intimate scenes whether sexual in nature or not with this couple for the first half of the book. Although the attraction is there, no one is acting upon it.
I should’ve loved this couple together because I love them each separately. But I found they lacked fire and passion together. They were missing an undeniable spark, desire and togetherness. For me, there was not enough time together and the attraction between them took too long to heat up. Then once is started, it was over. I really wanted to experience them as a couple. I loved Ulric in previous books and wanted so much more for him. I feel a little cheated out of his relationship with Rainn.
On another note, in EVERY book in this series I have LOVED Levet. This author brings a lightness with this character that, for me, is unparalleled and this instalment is no different. This author also has me all kinds of curious about Levet. He has been in this series since the beginning and I figure he must have a MAJOR role somewhere in future books. He has to be important somehow.
For fans of the series, there are also cameos from Cyn and Fallon as well as Tarak and Everly.
This is an entertaining and action-packed read you won’t want to miss!
I received an ARC via NetGalley of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Like most writers, I was born with an avid love for reading. Growing up in a small town in the Midwest, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a book in my hand or wasn’t dreaming up wild stories in my head. And when I stepped into my local library for the first time I thought it was paradise. There were so many books on the shelves I didn’t know where to start!
Still, I didn’t plan to grow up and become a writer. I was much more interested in a glorious career as an actress on Broadway.
I followed my dream by acquiring a degree in theatre and performing for several years in summer-stock productions, but after I married my college sweetheart I decided to put the career on hold while we started a family. After the arrival of my two sons, Chance and Alex, I found myself seeking a new creative outlet and decided to turn my occasional scribblings into a genuine effort to get published.
I’d like to say that I was an overnight success, but the truth is that it took years before I finally got ‘the call’. The rejections were painful, but now I’m relieved. All those manuscripts that I thought were the next Great American Novel are now exactly where they belong…gathering dust under my bed.
They did, however, help me learn my craft, and just as importantly, they gave me the opportunity to enjoy writing in a wide variety of genres as I searched for my voice. Which no doubt explains why I started writing traditional regencies under the name Debbie Raleigh and then moved to steamy historicals under the name Deborah Raleigh before transforming into a contemporary paranormal writer as Alexandra Ivy. Now my career spans everything from erotica to romantic suspense.
When I’m not writing I love to travel, it doesn’t matter where I’m going as long as it doesn’t include any cooking or cleaning. I also love to spend time with my family who continue to be my greatest source of inspiration. And since some things never change…when I have a few minutes, you can still find me with a book in my hand!
