After an attack by something straight
out of a nightmare Mary wakes up in a strange bed, in a strange place with
people she has never seen in her life. These people begin to tell her of her
birthright, which entails a vastly different life than she ever imagined possible.
A life filled with shifters, gnomes, imps and vamps. In this new life she is Keena
Priestess of the Wild, a Witch and her home is on the hidden island of
WildLand. Keena’s new friends and family begin to train her for the trials that
an extremely old prophecy has spoken of. Keena will have to fight magically and
physically to obtain the throne and title for High Priestess. Sounds really
exciting right, well that’s just the tip of the excitement iceberg.
Keena
has a short few months to learn how the fight and defend herself against her
opponents. She also has to become more comfortable as a Witch and forget her human feeling about casual
sex. Keena not only needs the sexual contact of others to fully come into her
Witch powers but her Witch powers also needs the power exchange of other
magical beings. Birthright is written
in first person from Keena’s point of view. I loved Keena. She evolves from a human
who always knew she was different to an incredibly strong Witch. For Keena to
obtain the High Priestess throne and title she must battle her twin Feldema in
the Battle of Birthright. Feldema was spoiled from the time she came to
WildLand. The member of the Kith believed that she was the stronger of the
twins. After all she was with them and had her full magical abilities long
before anyone ever found Keena. Feldema does everything one can possibly
imagine an evil twin doing and then some. The fight for the throne adds an enormous
amount of tension to this book. The suspense of what obstacle is going to be
tossed at Keena next left me on the edge of my seat as I was eagerly turning
pages.
The romance! I mentioned already
that Keena needed the sexual exchange of powers with others. In the world that
this book is set in there are no taboos about multiple partners in fact it is
expected. Keena being raised as a human has some issues with casual sex with
multiple partners. She does find herself not only attracted to but drawn on a
primal level to Tynan and Jordan. Tynan is a Vampire Lord and Jordan is the
half Demon head of security. The romance is hot. Keena can’t just fall into bed
with these two. Her human side wants the connection, the passion and the loving
relationship. The connection that she has with the two men is amazing. I loved
the way her Witch nature heightened the connection. There is an interesting
happily ever after with Birthright.
Keena gets two sexy men. It’s not ménage. The three are never together at the
same time. I just want to warn someone who may not be interested in this nature
of happily ever after.
Birthright is priced extremely low at just $1.49, for such a great full length novel that is an incredible price.
