Miss Michelle has done it again. I had the distinct pleasure of reading PROTECTING TRUTH recently, and I have to say… It’s AWESOME! I just love Michelle and her stories. If you missed the first installment to the SERAPHINA PARRISH TRILOGY, WANDER DUST, you seriously need to go catch up. You can get this delish piece of reading at a crazy reasonable price for your eReader. Just DO IT!

Protecting Truth is the second book in The Seraphina Parrish Trilogy by Michelle Warren. I have been anxious to read this book since I finished Wander Dust so I was very excited when I learned the book was available to be reviewed. This installment picks up a few months from the end of the first book and we dive right back into the action.

I am so kicking myself for not having read this book earlier. I simply could not put it down. It was such an interesting take on time travel. I am often not a fan of time travel because I let the science geek in me take over and I find flaw after flaw in the author's theories. In this case, though, it was set in such a magical and fantastical setting that it totally worked. The world Michelle has created is simply magical and I really enjoyed getting lost in it.

CONTAINS SPOILERS Another fabulous read! I do have to say that it started out rather slow. I kept on waiting for truths and information to be revealed and it was slow coming. Once I got into the second half of the book, I could not out it down. I found myself thinking about it constantly, needing to find out what was going to happen next. Technically, the book was beautifully sound. I found no errors and the story was consistent.
Now down to the nitty gritty...MAJOR SPOILER ALERT TO FOLLOW

Sera is learning to defend herself with the help of Turner and she is trying to keep it secret from her team. She doesn't want Bishop to think she doubts he can protect her or that she is working that closely with his twin. The truth is she wants to go back and rescue her mom and doesn't want her team to know what she has planned. The trouble begins when Sera and Turner share a kiss and lots of secrets start unraveling.

Wait... What?... Turner?! Lots of secrets... LIES! Is anyone who they say they are? WOW!! My brain is trying to catch up with all that happened in this book! I will have to read it again just to make sure it is the same book I started with!

‘Protecting Truth’ is the second instalment of the ‘Seraphina Parrish Trilogy,’ by the amazing writer, Michelle Warren. I cannot express how long I have been sitting in anticipation for this book to read on my Kindle! Wander Dust left me anxiously waiting for more, so when Protecting Truth was finally released, I couldn’t wait to start it! Thank you Michelle for letting me review it for you! Michelle’s writing is magnificent; the world she has created is fabulous. If only it were real, if only,...more
Wow. I finished this a few days ago but had to let it sink in a little - I was still too busy thinking, "That did not just happen!!!" to sit down and write a coherent review. I will admit, there were several times in this book that I kinda wanted to smack Sera upside the head & ask her what she was thinking?!? Although I can understand why she did it, I didn't like that she kept secrets from her team after all they had been through together. And Turner made a very annoying, although also ver...more
After finishing Wander Dust Icouldn'twait to see what happened next, when the author contacted me regarding areviewingher second book, Protecting Truth I jumped at the chance. Wander Dust was a great read, Protecting Truth was amazing.

This second book of the series is definitely much better than the first. However, the first half of the book was "meh" for me. I was irritated with some of plot lines thinking I have gotten them figured out. But Wow! was I wrong. I like how it all resolved at the end. I do have my doubts and think that perhaps there is more to the ending and the third book will surprise me. But please don't pull the two men fall for the same girl and she can't decide thing at me. I hate those. It feels too much...more
All I can say is, "Wow"! I loved that this story started right away where it left off in Wander Dust. Let's just say that Sera does NOT lead a boring life. Between traveling, romancing, honing her fighting skills, partying, and attending school, she uncovers one mysterious tidbit of information after another...not all good either. The action never stopped. I just read this baby clear through from start to finish. It's not very often that an author truly surprises me, but the reason for the feud...more
Protecting Truth was a great book. I really enjoyed it. We learn more about Wanderers and their history and that they have a capitol. We learn there's an oath they take when they finish their schooling and that there are a ton of perks that come along with that oath. I really felt like this society of Wanderers existed alongside our world.

So, look. This series is good. It is really, really good. Michelle Warren is an uber-talented offer and why this isn't being published by Harper Teen or some other comparable big house, I'll never know.
There are layers upon layers to the story and the characters are really well thought out.
If there is one thing that rankles is the point of it all. So far, we've seen that these talented people travel through time, but we haven't seen WHY they do it. They haven't been anything but observers thus f...more

In the much-awaited second installment of the Seraphina Parrish trilogy we get both the perfect story and not nearly enough! See, Michelle Warren has a knack for telling a story that hooks you and draws you in, and while the book itself is this perfectly spun story, it leaves you wanting so much more.

Sidenote: Protecting Truth is the 2nd book in the Seraphina Parrish Trilogy.
To this day, I still remember sitting in the kitchen, telling my husband about the premise of Wanderdust, the first book in this series. I tried to explain how there are these characters who time travel (or "wander") by holding onto a relic, running as fast as they can, and then disappearing in a cloud of dust. Yea...he looked at me like I had just wandered somewhere myself!
But I couldn't explain it. There was something...more

Seraphina spent her summer training and training and training. She has become an expert fighter and now has the skills it will take to take out Cece and the Underground. She will do whatever it takes to get her mother back...even keep secrets from Bishop. But soon Sera realizes she is not the only one keeping secrets. It seems that everyone she loves and trusts is keeping just as many. In the end Sera learns that everyone has a choice to make.

Amazing. After being a little skeptical about your first book, I was completely floored by this second one! The sparks were flying, the tension was mounting and by golly if you just didn't throw us all for a crazy loop!!! Love it!! I read alot so when something truly catches me off guard, I have to give the author props. I mean I just don't know where you're going to go from here! And seriously...I CAN'T WAIT!!! Love finding indie authors who wow me like this. Props to you Michelle and I'll anxi...more
The first three quarters of this book were infuriating. I can't stress enough how much I hate the "I can't tell him the truth because it would hurt his feelings" plot device used so often in romances. It unfailingly makes me annoyed with the characters, irritated with the book and impatient for the part to be over. Unfortunately, this part took up most of the book. But once everything finally did come to a head, the conclusion was excellent. It definitely added to the series and I'm looking forw...more
I purchased this as an ebook from Amazon.
After reading the first book in the Seraphina Parrish series Wander Dust I couldn't wait to read book 2.
I found the book to be suspenseful and full of revealing secrets at every turn. I loved it. Cannot wait to read book 3 when it's released.
“She rests quietly in darkness/under a perfect cloudless sky/dreaming of Seraphim angels/with which she conspires,”

Can I have the next book already! I simply can NOT wait to read the third book of the series. I honestly can not believe I have to wait another year before I have the third book in my hands.
Protecting Truth picks up a few months after the ending of Wander Dust, answering many of my unanswered questions and yet creating many ones at it's leave.
Seraphina has grown since Wander Dust, she is a little wiser, a bit more kick-ass and turning out to be strong Wanderer. I still swoon over Bishop, I do...more

I have been a huge fan of this authors work since last year when Wanderdust came out. I wasn't sure what to expect when this book came out. Sometimes second books are always weaker than the first. But this book is not that way. I truly love Michelle's writing style. I felt like I was going through the things Sera was right along with her.
I want to go to this school and be a wanderer, almost as bad as I want to go to Hogwarts.

Just like the first, this book sucked me in. The beginning was a little slow, but once everything began to unfold, I couldn't put it down! I love the love triangle between Sera and the two brothers. My only wish is, because of the ending, I wish we would've seen a little more of Turner. I wish Sera would've realized it a bit sooner. But I do understand the necessity of why things panned out the way the did for sake of storyline and character growth. I can't wait to see what happens next! Hopeful...more

I have been waiting for Protecting Truth to be released as i thoroughly enjoyed the first book in the series. As soon as i started reading i was immediately thrown back in to magical world of what we know as Wander Dust. From the moment i started reading it i was unable to put it down until the end. It did not disappoint at all. The story is written beautifully, it was a pleasure to read as it continues to unfold. The romance between the main characters keeps you reading and guessing. There is p...more
