Angel Seduced


Angel Seduced
(The Hidden #3)
by Jaime Rush



I started this series with the second book instead of the first but that was not a bad thing. While each book has a similar theme and is apparently happening within the same time frame each is still enough of a self contained story that you do not loose anything if you start off wrong. The story is fun, sexy, and engrossing. The characters are deep with feelings and problems that are universal and make you want to get to know them better. You cannot help but keep reading because the action starts almost immediately and if you stop you might
miss something.

Kye Rivers is a Zensu Deuce, she can tell when someone is having sexual issues with her magick. Kasabian is a Caido (half angel) who craves emotions, even though they hurt him, and works at the bar Kye frequents and works out of. Kasabian is immediately drawn to Kye but knows he should stay away. Kye has developed a method that allows the Caido to feel and have relationships, something that very much interests Kasabian because of a side effect it has.

Kasabian was kidnapped as a child but does not remember anything significant about it. Children are starting to disappear again and when one escapes and turns out to have the same mark on his chest that Kasabian does he goes to Kye for help in remembering. While he did not plan it he finds himself pulled to Kye and she feels the same but neither thinks it a good idea. Hopefully they will live long enough to sort it out.


My rating: 5 of 5 stars



“Do you visit other Muses then?” She gave him a stern look. “And don’t say a word about me being jealous. I’m just…curious.” He gave her a sly smile. “Of course you are. For the record, I haven’t had empty, meaningless sex in a long time. It was easier to not think about that aspect of my life.” Was easier. Her ego was eating up the fact that he was obsessed with her, that she was the one who’d awakened that part of him. Bad ego. Bad, bad ego.”

Dragon Rising (The Hidden 0.6)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really like the stories of the Hidden and hope they continue for a long time. The characters are well thought out and have personalities that are recognizable. The world they inhabit is ours with a few tweaks to its history that make it fit the origin of the characters.

Lyra Slade is continuing the search for her father that she called her brother Kirin home to help with. She has not told Kirin that she has found a clue and will be following up on it on her own, since he has reconnected with his old girlfriend. Lyra is put in touch with Archer Grant, a Caido, who has a brother with the type of car she saw outside her father’s house.

As they start to investigate together it becomes more obvious that though Lyra has heard Caido’s have no feelings, she may be mistaken. What they find makes no sense to them at first, but someone feels they are getting to close and things get dangerous. The danger however is not only external.

I was so glad that the story was not only continued but had a great ending. This is a good series that should be enjoyed.

Magic Possessed (The Hidden #2)

I received this book from Goodreads First Reads for free.

I totally loved this book and would give it 4.5 stars because it grabbed me and kept me engrossed until the end. I will definitely be reading the first book in the series and following up with the rest. The characters are so well written that I came to really care about them and what they were going through. Of course some were filled out better than others but the main ones and most of the side characters made this worth while. The world they inhabit is like ours but just different enough to make it interesting.

With a number of mythical characters, chief among them dragons, sorcerers, and caidos (descendants of fallen angels). These people came from a place called Luciferia, a place that no longer exists except as the Bermuda Triangle we know today. When their home is destroyed they head to Florida and make a home for themselves there among the back roads and small communities. While they do not always get along they have managed to create a place they can live and thrive until someone decides that things are going to well and starts to shake the hornet’s nest.

Violet Castanega and her family are Dragon shifters and a bit of a rowdy bunch, along with most of her neighbors. She was a brawler when she was younger but has grown into a responsible woman and then the murders start. I liked Violet because she was a strong woman who was not afraid to do whatever was needed to protect her family and those around her. She was also able to trust when she had no reason to.

Kade Kavanaugh is a Deuce (sorcerer) and he works for the Guard, they are a police force for the supernatural folks in the area. They do not have any love for the dragons who they see as completely uncivilized and therefore are unconcerned when dragon bodies start dropping. That is until Violet shows up and he is ordered to assassinate her with no explanation or proof of wrong doing. Kade is an honorable guy who would never do anything he felt was wrong, and you have to love him for it.

This was a fun and emotional ride with mystery, hot sex, conspiracies, murder, revenge, and above all Love. I laughed, cried, yelled, and thoroughly enjoyed myself! If you want something that will take you away and entertain you, then you have got to read this. You will be missing out if you don’t give it a look.
