The Janusite Trilogy: Undercover Elementals, Books 1-3

Supernatural Romance with Classic Fight of Good vs. Evil If you're familiar with Anna Durand's work, you know she writes contemporary and paranormal character-driven sensual romance. This box set is all of her Undercover Elemental trilogy, and she delivers the goods in terms of character, plot, and steam factor. It is a supernatural romance that features the classic fight of good vs. evil as the impetus for the over-arching plot. Lindsey, the heroine, discovers that while she's mortal, she is also the Janusite, given some of the abilities of that god. She becomes involved with Nevan, king of the sylphs boyfriend. I love Lindsey, by the way. No matter what the story throws at her, she is strong and resilient. She has a way of looking at things that keeps it all in perspective. She even helps lift Nevan out of brooding, nonhelpful thoughts. The twists and turns in the stories keep Lindsey guessing as well as the reader. Time shifts. Pasts are forgotten… or come back to haunt the characters. The author does an excellent job of showing us these wildly dramatic shifts through Lindsey's eyes. We can sense her frustration, fears, and sadness and appreciate her doggedness to get through it all. The author has a natural writing style that pulls you right in, even though the books are about such fantastic events. She makes them feel like they could actually happen and do happen to the characters. If you enjoy paranormal/supernatural romance with a high steaminess factor, this trilogy may be right up your alley.

I'm not going to lie - this is a BIG book, but it's well worth the read. I did read them all individually and loved them all but it was nice to go back and read them in order, one after another. I did pick up things the second time that I totally missed on the first read. This story/series is action packed with great characters that are fully fleshed out and the question of whether they will even survive, much less win against evil is the burning question. Tons of twists and turns, just when it feels like they are getting ahead, something sets them back--but they will persist! (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).

Wow what a great read has twists and turns throughout to keep me entertained. Loved how well developed the characters are and the storyline s flowed easily. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
