This is the first in the Sentinel Wars by Shannon K Butcher. It's a Urban Fantasy and I really enjoyed it! Helan Day is the protagonist in the story and I find I like her. She's not your typically strong and sexy type, but she' a strong willed a a good person. PLOT from amazon: Her entire life Helen Day has haunted by dreams of burning alive while a man watches her and smiles. So when she meets Drake, the man of her dreams, in a diner, she knows she doesn't have long to live. Drake is a TheronaiSo, this was a pretty strong book for a first in a series. There was world-building, but not too much. No longwinded info dumps. Things were revealed and learned as the heroine learned them. It didn't get piled on her (or readers) all at once. Some of the info was kept from Helen until Drake had no choice but to tell her, but at least it didn't result in being overwhelming I really enjoyed this. The pacing was just right and man was there some hot sexual tension between Helen and Drake and that
I wanted to quit this so many times, but the paranormal/mythos whatever details were interesting enough that I wanted to know more. However, the two main characters, ugh. There were some sweet parts, but mainly TSTL & annoying so I didn't even care if they lived. I really could've done without the whole side plot of Logan. He seriously got on my nerves. I won't read the next book, but I may read Lexi & Zach's book. They seemed interesting.In conclusion, didn't like the book or the
3.5 stars.I loved the world building and I really enjoy the authors writing. That alone nearly had me giving 4 stars. The romance was just a 3.There are 8 different points of view, 6 of which are introduced within the first 16% of the book. I wasnt bothered because I think it helped to provide details that otherwise would have been info dumping coming from the same character. However, I do think it made the beginning choppy and a little hard to get into. Not only was I trying to figure out what

4 stars Paranormal RomanceThis is the first book in a unique, promising new PNR series about sword wielding, tree of life tattoo bearing immortal Sentinel warriors fighting a demon race called Synestryn to protect humanity and guard the gateway to an ancestral world called Athanasia. Theronai Sentinel warrior Drake has been fighting in the brutal war with the Synestryn for centuries, and now it seems that they are waging a losing battle and the demons are gaining the advantage. With the loss of
Nope. I can't do it. Sorry.I maybe got thirty pages in before I decided that Drake was a big sack of shit and that Helen is possibly the most annoying female protagonist that I have ever, ever read."Oh, I have a vision of being burnt alive... this couldn't possibly be metaphorical! I think I'm going to run awaaaaaaaaay! La de da la!"Or then you have the stereotype caveman complex that is Drake."You have plaits. Me Pull. You come now. Drake beat chest. Manly Drake. Ahhhahhhhhhahhhhhh!"What, so
