Morningstars #1.5
Set To Start
Before every queen there is story to be told...
Kaden, a Morningstar warrior and vampire, has kept his heart locked away because he knew one day there'd the that girl for him. When Cia comes around though, he can't help but follow his heart's desire.
Ciarda is head over heels in love with a guy she only sees at night, and then not even regularly. After an accident changed her life forever, she is all set on making life the way she always a husband, a house, a secure job. For Kaden though Cia is ready to throw it all away and live in the spur of the moment.
What they don't know is that fate has other plans. For one this relationship soon will be a faint memory, while the other has to live with the knowledge of simply not being 'The One'.
The Novella should be read AFTER book one, Set In Flames.
For mature audiences only due to adult situations and language.

I've been writing since I figured guys in real life don't do what I want them to do, and there is nithing better than to write the stuff you like... Until I realized that THOSE boys don't do what you want them to do, either... *sighs*

OH YES!!!! It's finally out for all of you to enjoy and devour. The new novella by Sam Destiny, a kind of a prequel but then again, not really! So like the disclaimer said, don't read it if you haven't read book one, because it might be spoilery for you then!
BUT, that's not what this review is gonna be about. It's gonna be how amazing this book is, and how much I wish each and every one would pick it up and read it!! It's no secret that I love Sam Destiny's writing. I mean, seriously, have you READ "Set In Flames" or "Tagged for Life"??
Okay, so Set to Start follows one of our favorite twins, Kaden, in the time before Maya came into their life. We get a glimpse at what happens when a warrior falls in love with someone other than his designated Origin, and let me just tell you, it's heart-breaking, beautiful and gut-wrenching. Why? Because simply imagine loving someone, only to find out that this person will never be truly yours, because at any point there is the chance that someone could come and take that person away from you. And there is nothing whatsoever that you can do!
I don't think any of us can really imagine what that feels like, and I never want to either.Which makes this book all the more heartbreaking though. My heart was in shreds in between, simply because you wanna help these two, and yet you know there's a REASON for all of this. The emotions are so palpable through the pages that you have a hard time breathing in between, simply because you don't know how to.
Cia, our main female character, is a strong and level-headed woman, that falls in love with Kaden, not having the slightest idea what she has gotten herself into.And it's not that Kaden doesn't feel anything for her, because he does. But she's not the one destined to be with him, he knows that, and it tears him apart. I fell in love even more with the warrior in this novella, because we get an even deeper insight in him in this piece of art. Both characters excel in this novella and it makes the waiting for the actual book two excruciatingly long if you ask me. But yes, October is coming, too. Eventually.....
What else can I say? How about that I think that Sam Destiny's writing gets better with every line she writes. This book was so amazingly written that it hooked you on the first page already and didn't let you go anymore. Not at all. And you didn't want to go anywhere, because you want to know exactly how this story ends. Will there be some kind of happy end? But then again, what does happy end really mean?
Do me a favor, all of you, and get this novella now. And make sure to get book one in case you haven't! Heck, you need to!!!!!
Mh, wanna take a guess at how many book boyfriends this one gets???
5 freaking ones of course!!!
Questions? No? Then go buy the freaking book now!!!!!
Yvi :D

I just finished Set In Flames about an hour ago and immediately picked up this novella. I thought it was a perfect prequel! It showed us some of Kaden's backstory as well as giving us his POV on the early events that we have seen in Set In Flames. You can see why he reacts the way he does when Maya comes into the picture and how conflicted he is about all of the events in that book. (You'll get no spoilers from me if you haven't read book 1 yet!) I love the whole Jaden gagging every time he see Colbin with Lara. The bigger they are the harder they fall right. We truly see his character make a complete 360 from who he was at the beginning of this novella to where he is at the end of the novella beginning his relationship with Maya.
I really hope we see Cia in the next book because she is fascinating! I have so many questions on why she isn't an Origin and will she get her Vampire powers back? Even Lara knows she is different and she has a good sense about people. So it will be interesting to see where the story goes from here! I thought there was some much needed information in this one and I understand Kaden a little better now, in "Set in Flames" since it was so focused on Jaden and Maya it seemed that while he was a huge part of that book we never really knew how he reacted to things until now.

I really loved this novella, Sam gave us a look inside what happened with Kaden after Book One: Set In Flames. I'm more #TeamTwins now with this novella. You feel for Kaden and what he's going through. Looking forward to reading Book Two: Set In Sparks! If you are looking for a sexy vampire paranormal romance series, then Morningstars is a MUST! Love Sam Destiny's style of writing, she really knows how to pull you in and never let go. Five Stars for sure!!!

This was a lovely little bite of the Morning star world. We get to see what was going on before Maya bumped into Jayden. It made me adore Kaden all the more. :)
