Review

4 badass witch stars!

Book number 4 in the Realm Enforcers series, this book picks up immediately after the last one finished, so if like me, you don’t remember all of the details, I would suggest having a flick through those final few chapters of Wicked Burn just to bring you up to speed. I attempted to do that and ended up reading the whole book again because it’s just that good, so I was raring to go by the time I started this book. And needless to say, this is NOT a standalone – each book is about a different couple, but the overarching storyline is a complex one, with a lot of tie-ins to previous characters of the series, so do yourself a favour and start from the beginning.

Victoria ‘Tori’ Monzelle is the younger sister of Lexi from book #1 of this series, Wicked Ride. She is a human who has unknowingly stumbled into the paranormal world of witches, vampires, shifters and demons, and in addition to her head spinning from learning that her world isn’t what she expected, she also finds herself with a death sentence from the Council of the Coven 9, the ruling witch body, who have a rule that humans can’t know about the existence of the paranormal world.

Adam Dunne is a witch enforcer. The serious, stoic member of the powerful Dunne family, he is also the only remaining link to the goings on of the Council now that the rest of his family are either out of commission or on the run (see my note about reading the earlier books in the series). Adam is also the man that comes to Tori’s rescue, refusing to allow the human to be harmed… for reasons that he refuses to explore in depth.

From the beginning there is a sizzling chemistry between Adam and Tori. They already know each other, and there has been an attraction there, but this is the first time that they have spent any real time together, and Adam’s domineering alphaness and Tori’s stubborn bravery create some sensational fireworks as he battles to protect her.

“You still haven’t told me why you left the cabin when I specifically told you to stay there.”
Her chin dropped, and her eyebrows lifted, giving her the most smart-ass expression he’d ever seen. “I guess the simples answer is that I don’t fucking take orders from you.”
Dage snorted and busied himself with his phone again, not looking at either of them. “You should just mate her and get it over with,” he mused.

And things become even more complicated when Adam is forced to go to extreme lengths to keep Tori alive – vowing to the Council that he will mate her – thereby protecting her from the sentence hanging over her head.

This book is another wildly entertaining ride from Rebecca Zanetti. The story moves at a quick pace with lots of action and excitement, and a whole lot of chemistry and flirty banter. Adam and Tori have a fantastic dynamic that is both snarky and sexy, and the steamy time is seriously hot. Adam has some pretty strong dominant tendencies and Tori finds herself helpless against him, and holy hot damn they are on fire together!

She looked over her shoulder, almost stunned by the ferocity on his angled face. “You want me?”
“Aye,” he said, his eyes burning.
“Then take me.”

But with their lives in danger and threats coming from multiple directions, they literally have the fight of their lives on their hands as they work to get to the bottom of vicious betrayal and corruption, and to stay ahead of those that wish them harm.

Once again, Rebecca Zanetti sucked me right into her intense, intriguing and wonderfully developed world. There are twists and turns, with continued storylines from previous books and new surprises revealed as Adam, his family, and even the Realm, band together to get to protect their world. And in the middle of it all we get a wonderfully romantic (and did I mention hot?) love story that develops beautifully and realistically, with sarcasm and snark all the way, as Adam and Tori find themselves falling helplessly for each other.

I loved this book. Fun, exciting, action-packed, intriguing, laugh-out-loud funny, intense, sexy and gorgeously romantic, it was everything that I have come to expect from this series, and Rebecca’s writing and I can’t wait to continue on. And can I just say that I am stupidly excited that Bear is finally getting his own story – especially after all that he’s been through, and the revelations of the last two books – I can’t wait to get my hands on his book up next.

4 stars!
