Bring on book 2

OMG!!!!! This was freaking AWESOME! I can't wait for book 2. Cin and Xane and Aser were so bad Butt. The words literally jumped off the page. I was hooked from word 1 page 1. I was all the way in when Xane said he would destroy the world for Cin. Damn!!!!! I'm ready for Hina's story. I'm ready to see what the twins become. I'm excited about this series. I haven't been this excited about a series in a long time. The reviews did not do this book justice. The only down side was that it wasn't longer. Please dnt make us wait too long for the next book. I'm all in.

She was his brimstone and cinnamon

King Xanur Helson should have known that that there was a reason that his wife Lucinda disappeared from his life for three years. He was mad as he'll when she returned but he soon course out of was not of her doing. He had to overcome his anger to find out the truth along with his cousin Asar. There were enemies at play and they had to figure out who and why. Wear reminded Xane that the abovementioned was in play and someone was either trying to facilitate it or stop it from happening.

King Ellis wrote a high oh imaginative and creative story. As e and In had a tether of love that could not be broken. He would burn down the world of anyone hurt her. Their love would never die even after death. Neither one of them expected their enemies to be so close to them. But they ended up with their HEA anyway, with them family complete and in tact. I just wished that the story would have explained why Victor, Lucinda's father did what he did.

I enjoyed the book overall, but it was difficult to follow the story at times. The were parts of the story that were confusing and all over the place, especially the last part of the book. The book also did not flow smoothly. The transitions from one thing to another were not smooth. I found myself having to re-read sentences to better understand what was going on. This won’t be the last story I’ll read by this author. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.

Another Spectacular Book

You’d lay waste to your people for her?” His voice strained. “I’d lay waste to the world for her.”

With these words we all know that this was not a Typical Love story.

Xanur AKA Xane was was Royal Blood to the Nephilim. Which made him top dog. This Sexy Tattoo wearing Alpha along with his best friend Asar Trained the best sentinels to guard them against the Virus and unknown Force.


Lucinda AKA Cin was on of those training to be a Sentinel.

When she ran into the training she saw the most Gorgeous being. You knew the Attraction was Mutual, Xane Wings came out and Cin couldn't control her flames.

But there love was not edged in stoned. Unknown outside forces would separate the two. But the love they share can never be broken.


Cin was made to believe she needed to find her parents, which in turned made Xane hate her.. My girl came back with heartache, but though it all she remain steadfast. Loved how she walked into the room wearing the forbidden dress. Head held high like the True Queen she was. Vali and Jaya was put in thier place as they should.

I felt the heartache as Xane and Cin put together the events that separated them. Was equally happy she had Asar when Xane was going though his feelings.



When Cin saw her kids for the first time, Lord I cried Buckets. The Emotion, and her heart. You felt that and them some.


But the end, Lord when the whole family came together. FREAKING EPIC. And they went to War.


King Ellie thank you for this Wonderful, Spectacular, Extraordinary Epic Lovestory for all Time. Can't wait to see what Devilish Alpha you come out with next

Death and Fire

Death and Fire/ Xane and Cin are the epitome of love. Cin up and left Xane without an explanation for three years leaving him heartbroken and angry. When she returned things weren't peaches and cream, he'd moved on or so he tried. No one could ever replace his wife, his mate, his Queen. Jaya played a dangerous game being apart of the set up with Victor, Cin's father. Cin endured alot in those three years away from Xane, including the lose of their children. Xane vowed to make everyone who had a hand in it pay and pay they did. Their children Exra and Phoenix were extradinary, more than their parents could have dreamed of. This book was outstanding and I can't wait to see the hell Asar is going to unleash.💝💝

Crazy but in a good way!!!!

I freaking love this book this is going to be an epic series and I can't wait for more. Cin and Xane had some pretty intense moments some were hot and some were really sad. It was a page Turner that's for sure. I can't wait to read the next book which I'm thinking maybe Asar book. Everyone needs to read this book it was good I'm about to read it again!!!!

Death and Fire

Xane is the son of death and Cin is a hybrid that no one has ever seen before. When they meet its love at first sight...they are mated and then she leaves him. Xane is trying is hardest to forget Cin by any means necessary. Then Cin shows up with secrets and wants Xane back and this is where the story begins. This is King Ellie’s best book yet and she takes us on this crazy train with Xane and Cin. Xane is really psycho and so is Cin and I love how they overcome tragedy and evolve into something the world hasn’t seen before.

Enjoyed

It took a little while for me to understand what was going on, but once I did, I couldn’t stop reading. I wished it was a little longer so some things could be expounded on. Looking forward to the next book, hopefully I’ll get more details in that one.
