Emery never realized the kind of power she held.
Her whole life had been one long battle. Against other children, bullies, her abusers. Forever the outsider, living her days isolated and lonely. She didn't know that while waging her own battles, another kind of war was coming.
In just one night her whole life changed.
When she finds herself in danger, the power that was lying dormant inside of her suddenly releases, surprising everyone.
In the aftermath, a figure appears in the shadows – Elijah. With an air of mysteriousness and answers she had no idea she needed, Emery suddenly understands she’s not alone.
He's either here to save her or bury her. But with no time to ask questions, she takes the plunge, grabs his hand, and prepares herself for a whole new world. One where she will be reborn.
OUR REVIEW:
“Paranormal one click, 4 stars”
Maria has done it again. This time we get something a
little different from her and her usual style. We get a paranormal
romance. Usually when authors I like go from romance books to paranormal
I get a little twitchy. Chrysalis didn’t make me twitchy at all though.
For me it was the perfect balance between paranormal and romance. For
the record I prefer more paranormal than romantic drama when it comes to
this type of story.
Emery thought she was a typical loner high school girl. No family, no
friends, just a girl going through the motions. After a potentially
life changing experience her life does change. Next thing she knows she
finds out she has magical powers and family.
Questions arise though, why
did she come into her powers so late in the game? Is she good or bad?
Most importantly what side will she choose?
Elijah has been looking over Emery for years. That's what big brothers
do. He is happy and saddened by the fact Emery came into her powers.
Happy because he can finally be the brother he always wanted to be and
saddened because he didn’t want this life for her. Will he be able to
keep her safe? Will his loyalty get called into question? Everyone is a
suspect in the game of war.
Kade avoided Emery for years until she walked through his door. His
worst fear came true, Emery was powerful. For better or for worst they
are tied together, only question is will they fall into line with fate
or will they tell fate to screw off.
I loved some of the secondary characters and of course couldn't stand
some. I love how Tristan and Emery formed a bond. He helped her
understand the rules of the game and was just there when she needed him.
The story had some fun twists that I didn’t see coming and enjoyed. I
cant wait to see where Maria takes this series.
In the meantime here
are some quotes that I liked;
“We can’t worry about the future, we can only take every day as it comes. We have each other. If I die tomorrow, I’ll feel like I was able to live a thousand lifetimes, because I got to love you… knowing you loved me, too.”
“there was nowhere else I’d rather be, and for the first time in my life, I knew down to my bones, that I belonged.”
“I breathe in his scent and know that whatever happens in my tomorrow, having him in my today has made everything we face worth it.”
