A Soul to Guide by Opal Reyne
5.0
Merikh & Raewyn: These Two Were Made for Each Other! 5 Stars
There are very few authors that get a 1-click purchase out of me. Opal Reyne is one of them. Also, you know a book is awesome when its 600+ pages and the story flows so well, you're shocked it ended so soon and you want more! This is how A SOUL TO GUIDE left me... wanting more!
OMG... Where and how do I begin!
Raewyn is visually impaired, Elvish scientist and elected official from a distant planet. Due to an unfortunate accident in her lab, she gets sucked into a portal and ends up on Earth. As she struggles to adapt to her new surroundings, she seeks a way back home or at least help guiding her towards a magical race on planet Earth that may be the key to helping her back home. She makes contact with Merikh, a grumpy, rude Duskwalker with a major chip on his shoulder who has his own secret agenda and reasons for helping Raewyn. These two although different in looks and background, find out that they have a lot more in common than they both think.
This may be the BEST of the BEST from Ms. Reyne's Duskwalker Brides series. I thought nothing could top the connection between Orpheus and Reia in book one of this series. This was before Merikh and Raewyn. Raewyn is a breath of fresh air, and I loved her. some of the other brides annoyed me at some point in their books. This was not the case with Raewyn. I loved how unlike a few of the other Brides, she had a good full life before she met Merikh and yearned to return to it. The readers got to see the feelings blossom and love grow between these two. It didn't come fast and easy, it came slowly and most assuredly to the point where it was genuine.
Merikh made the transition from villain to hero with such grace and realism that the reader got to experience his metamorphosis from the protagonist to the protector of Raewyn as he was slowly revealed to be more virtuous than anyone thought he was to not only Raewyn to all of his brothers. I loved his foul, filthy mouth and found myself laughing out loud at his interactions with everyone he came in contact with. He was definitely far more advanced in a lot of things than his Duskwalker brothers and I loved it!
Opal Reyne has impressed me beyond measure. I am not going to sh*t you; I LOVED that Raewyn is a POC. It was so refreshing and well done that other authors should use it as a guide to writing characters of different ethnic backgrounds and cultures. It's the inclusion for me! Everything from our hair care to the proper use of pronouns were respected and the end of this book was giving strong Loving vs. Virginia vibes and I was here for it!
To all the smut lovers, this book will definitely satisfy, and you will get a heaping dose of it. Far more than was present in the other Duskwalker books. You'll find yourself clenching your thighs more times than you think! LOL
I highly recommend not only this book but the ENTIRE series! Opal Reyne, my Dear... you deserve all the accolades and praise for this one! I cannot wait to the next book in this brilliant series!
Happy reading!
