I'm a fan of Alexis Morgan's 'Paladin' series, so I was very excited to get "Warrior Unbound" which is the start of a new 'Talions' series. While it wasn't (for me) quite as good as her Paladin series, it was still an interesting read with hot, sexy, paranormal men (and women)!

This is Alexis Morgan's new series. I have read the first Paladin series and it was pretty good. Although, I must confess that I really enjoy this series mainly because of my weakness for Viking's...my heritage.
The story line is interesting as she has taken the immortal warrior and given the familiar character a new spin without trying to over explain it. The hero is flawed but only because of centuries of other's judgments and quite frankly, he's tired of what he does. That wa More...

I actually liked this book a lot. It's very tightly plotted and well paced. When I started writing the review, however, I had a hard time thinking of nice things to say about it. It isn't that this book is bad- it is just nothing really special.
I think that my main problem was with the world building. I didn't get a good idea of what a Kyth was or how their culture worked. I gathered that they are "psychic vampires" but the nature of their power was never clearly def More...

This Paladin tale was a good read but I did not know who to
engage with here as there were three people tied in a sticky web -
Ranulf the Talion Enforcer, Talion Sandor Kearn his bitter rival and
the heroine Kerry Logan who does not realise her background is of Kyth
blessed with ancient and unique abilities.
The storyline incorporated Sandor a lot - yet it was the relationship
between Kerry and Ranulf I felt could have been stronger and I began
to feel sorry fo More...

I actually read this back in April and totally forgot to add it to my read list, so thought now was a good time. However this will be another short review as I read it quite a while ago and don't remember 100% of the story.
I first got into Alexis Morgan's Paladins of Darkness series back in 2008 and I enjoyed and liked the different storyline that I kept on reading and when I found out there was a sort of spin off series Talions I was more than happy to keep up with Ms Morgans new seri More...

It was a book I enjoyed but didn't love. It was really entertaining and a bit original but not that much.
My main problem with this book was that the plot was not well developed. When I start a series I want the first book to explain the world in a way I will understand it easily and get to love it from the beginning. Well with this installment I finished the book and I never felt like I actually got to understand the species the Talions defend and protect. Much more info should have gi More...

Ohh... in this book we meet Ranulf Thorsen, the delicious one thousand year old Viking warrior. Christ, but I love the warriors of Old, Grr... So, Ranulf has been defending his people for centuries, delivering the justice by which the Kyth live. But for all his dedication and loyalty his kin fear him. They see him as a monster, the boogieman. Ranulf lives his life of a recluse, until he is summoned by his sovereign, and friend, the Grand Dame Judith to investigate a suspicious incident. While do

I thoughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to get the next one.
The story revolves around a group of "special" beings known as the Kyth. They are an ancient Nordic race able to manipulate human energy.
Ranulf Thorsen is an special type of Kyth, living for thousands of years as his kinsmen's eye-for-an-eye justice. He is a Tailon, the warriors of the Kyth. Ranulf is called in to asist in an increasing problem. One of the Kyth have gone rogue and needs to be dealt More...

Hmm. How to review. This book was good, it was a very fast, easy read. It just wasn't that, I dunno, great. I liked the characters, and I can't even say they weren't well developed, they were just, instant. The story was good, although I feel like maybe if I'd read the author's other Paladin series maybe I would have understood some of it better. Basically, there is another species living amongst the humans, called Kyth. I didn't really get what was all that different about them except that they

I have enjoyed the Paladin series so I decided to check this series out as well. I didn't enjoy this first book very much. I kept feeling like I was missing something and Morgan waits until page 130 to give a so-so description of what a Talion is. The relationship between Kerry and Ranaulf is weak. I'm really hoping that the series gets better because I do enjoy the author.

I enjoyed this book but I felt like something was missing. The characters were very likable but their stories are too washy. The characters all have some dark, heavy past, but when they come around to tell someone about them, the stories aren't detailed enough. Just sort of blah. And that kind of destroyed the book for me.

New series, new characters, new settings, new storyline. I am hooked!! Great beginning to a new series.
the Talions are warriors of their breed the Kyth. They are energy consuming species and the Talions are their enforcers.
Ranulf Thorsen is a centuries old Viking and a Talion enforcer. He has been doing his job for centuries and he is tired of it. tired of the killing the renegades of his breed.
Sandor Kearn is another Talion and Ranulf's bitter rival. He also More...

pretty good series though some things could have used a bit more explaining about the nature of the paranormal species. The romance was definitely there and interesting to watch, and of course the villain portion of the story line was dark and twisted as it always is with Ms. Morgan.

Just a good as her Paladins series. I love Ranulf and Kerry.
For me it was great that they didn't struggle for the entire book but realized just badly they were attracted to one another. Good read, highly recommend.

Was an okay book, I put it down for a month, picked it up and could remember the story. While it wasn't good that I could put the book down for that long, at least I could get right back into it.

I forgot I even read this until I saw the synopsis. It sucked. I like Alexis Morgan's other series about the Paladins but this one fell real flat.

An interesting paranormal twist with compelling characters. I liked it enough to pick up the next book in the series.

Not on my kindle -- did this one in paperback. Read this before the Paladians and LOVED it -- !!

I read it in 24 hours so it was obviously good. I wish I could find a new series that sticks with the same two people though...

Much more interesting than her Palladin series. I will continue to read this one.

Didn't like the story. Didn't like the whole "feeding" off of the energy of others. I'll stick to the Paladin series.

I didn't hate this story but it was a bit predictable and lacked enough characters or an interesting world to fall back on. This was a short book that read like a long one for me. Where are the people of this race they talk about? All through the book the author talks about the strength and unsurpassed ability of these two warriors then they need so much help with everything. Also, I can't believe all there is is two warriors to protect their so called Queen, or "Dame" as they call

I just love Alexis Morgan! I am a sucker for redheads, but when he is an experienced six foot something muscle man I am all over that!! Ranulf can come protect me anytime.. I think this is the begining of a wonderful world of Fantasy, love, and violence.. I do love the Palidins maddly and it was hard to switch gears after reading the entire series in one week then moving right into the Talions but I think it was a good intro and I am hoping to be just as addicted to these wonderfully rugged men
