This collection of books that make up the 'Seven Wardens' Complete Collection include: 1. From the Deeps 'From the Deeps' is the first book in Laura Greenwood and Skye MacKinnon's "The Seven Wardens" series. If you missed the prequel, 'Beyond the Loch', it gives a bit of the preamble which certainly helped me along with this one. Our heroine is a kelpie princess named Macey. She and her twin brothers have been living on Earth for the past three years as humans in a small village and Macey is beyond bored with her life and annoyed with her siblings. She wants excitement, adventure, anything but what she currently has. Then the power goes out one night and goes out looking for her brothers in a thick mist and winds up tripping over them, getting knocked out and kidnapped to another world. Let the adventure begin. If you read the blurb then you know this is a reverse harem based on Scottish mythology …. While throwing in a few paranormal. Definitely has potential. 2. Through the Storms (novella) 'Through the Storms' is actually a spin-off of the "Seven Wardens" series and takes place at the same time as 'From the Deeps' in order to explain the relationship between Amber, Lightning mixed with a Beither shifter, a snake/dragon combination, and Izban, Ice and a Mage). These are just two of the people Macey and her men are looking for although, Ice and Lightning are unaware of their prophesied roles as Wardens. Izban and the help of the resident ghost help Amber unlock some of her magic. It was fascinating to read Scottish lore along the way as this book added further information to the "Seven Wardens". There's plenty of action and mystery that kept me entertained. 3. Into the Mists 'Into the Mists' is the second book in the "Seven Wardens" series and picks up where "From the Deeps" left off. Macey is kidnapped (again) and locked in the same prison as Amber, the Lightning Warden, by the evil Voice. Poor Amber is being tortured with mind games being played over and over until Luch, a talking mouse becomes quite helpful in their escape. Amber is reunited with Jared, Cam, and Flint, her Wardens, and Amber is back with Izban so they can once again focus on their mission. The adventure isn't finished yet as Selkies are pulled into this. Each of these characters has such vivid personalities and our authors have described their interactions fabulously. What imagination! I can't wait to see what happens next. 4. Beneath the Earth 'Beneath the Earth' is the fourth book in Laura Greenwood and Skye MacKinnon's "Seven Wardens" series and it truly does not disappoint. The plot continues to thicken, the humor is amped up, the intrigue kept me turning the pages. This is an intriguing, humorous storyline filled with drama, adventure, humor, and Scottish mythology. I'm looking forward to 'Within the Flames'. 5. Within the Flames 'Within the Flames' is the fourth book in Laura Greenwood and Skye MacKinnon's "Seven Wardens" series and I have to say, this one has more of an epic fantasy feel than previously. Fast-paced, filled with humor, action-adventure combined with a steamy romance makes this a hard one to put down. There are loads of mythological beings from around the world introduced as the storyline focuses on Flint losing his magic and Macey on a quest to help him. Oh, let me not forget the final battle with the Malhoun. If you've enjoyed the series so far, don't fret, there's still more to come and I can't see where our authors take me next. 6. Above The Waves 'Above the Waves' is book five in the "Seven Wardens" series by Laura Greenwood and Skye MacKinnon. If you've followed the series, then you know this will not be a standalone book. If not, then understand each book is built on the last so it's best to read them in order. When you do, you'll find Macey was definitely less likable in this storyline for a very good reason. The Mahoun has been destroyed but that still left Macey with a long to-do list; defeat his siblings, become Queen of the Kelpies, confront her mother about that little bombshell of a secret, decide how

This has it all in the box set, adventure, drama, drama. Macy is kidnapped and then found out more about herself. It did have parts that left me wondering WTH. so I gave it 4 stars. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
