I feel a little sad writing this, but I did not enjoy P. C. Cast’s latest Goddess Summoning book. I was alright with the last few books, but the first by far were the best in the series. My favorites were Goddess of Spring, Warrior Rising and Goddess of the Sea. Lately, I feel as if Cast has been drawing away from the roots of her early writing and trying to get in to a new audience/target/genre? The same is happening with her Young Adult House of Night series as well. Read More »

Jadyn and Ash have a consuming Shakespearian love, tragic and fraught with drama. An incident in their youth leaves Ash on the run and Jadyn stunned at the loss of his missing mate. A chance encounter reunites them, but can Jadyn trust Ash not to cut and run again?

This is short and sweet with early drama, but it ends on a sigh instead of a butt-kicking and it’s a bit anticlimactic after the nail-biting start. There’s nothing wrong with this type of ending; it just left me with some what-if and what-happened thoughts. Otherwise, this short story started with a bang and was very well-written, an auspicious introduction. I’ll be watching for future stories.
