"The Summoning" by Linda Nightingale

My Thoughts....

I found this story quite a interesting one in it being a paranormal read with shapeshifters, myth, magic, demons and witches that will take the reader on a exciting ride in Jamaica.  For Heather Morique who didn't know all the mystery that surrounded her husband Jahill before his death.  Now that Heather son [Ariel} and husband [Jahill an Arawak Indian] had died she finds herself in Jamaica where she will meet up with her husband's folks and their ancient gods they worship...Eyrael...the God of Wind and Sea, along with his brother Sofiel, who was God of Fire and Earth.  How will these two gods become so important to Heather?   It was very interesting to see who these gods would be able to shift from each animal [Eyrael...horse] and Sofiel...a bull and how  this shaman brought in a plan to have each of these brother fighting against each other hoping to obtain one deity for these Arawaks to have to worship. But how does this bring in Heather who didn't even know she was a witch is summoned by Eyrael?  What will happen as Heather learns to use her magical skills as she helps Eyrael who has to confront Sofiel and the shaman?  This will be quite a battle for control and who will win out in the end?  Be ready for many adventures and vivid descriptions of Jamaica as this author gives the reader that will definitely be of interest in this fantasy read. Who will make it out of this battle?  What will happen as Heather and Eyrael who were very "unlikely soul mates face a dangerous fate and discover the chemistry between them."

To get it all you will just have to pick up "The Summoning" to see how well this author delivers it with some very interesting characters from Heather, Eyrael, Tiaino the Shaman, Sofiel, Dr. Jay Reid, Jahill, Ariel, John, Liana, Damien Windsey  to a few others giving the reader one good paranormal read that will keep your interest till the end.

Profile:

"When the hunter is your mate, being prey is anything but terrifying

Coyote shifter Tate Allen has been watching. Learning his mate every possible way before he moves in. Protecting her through the night, always from afar.

He’ll be the one to teach her about her gifts. He’ll be there when she changes for the first time.

With him, she’ll fulfill her destiny.

Elise Ralston loves Tate for the patience he’s shown. The faith he’s demonstrated—denying himself what he needs sexually, even as he teaches her about pleasure.

For Tate, Elise is willing to try. To revel in touch, to give him control…and to embrace her healer’s need.

But someone unknown is still stalking the clan, threatening more than Tate and Elise’s bond. And Elise is a prime target—precious for the magic she hasn’t even learned yet."

"Healer's Need" by Rhenna Morgan

This was a beautifully paranormal romance story about Tate and Elise. I loved how this story starts with Tate meeting Elise and realizing she would be his mate. It was intriguing seeing how everyone around them were able to see what was going on with Tate and Elise as 'their journey toward a life of commitment.' There will be lots of action that will go on in the read with the danger that is presented from Priest's brother. It was quite interesting to see how Elise will come out from the insecure girl to her own as 'demons from the past had threaten all that she could be' however, with Tate and the clan's support she soon will realize that she can be that 'Healer Prima' that she needs to be. I like the slow journey Tate and Elise [as he called her his mihara...which meant endearment] took where they were able to 'grow and blossom' which did only bring out the best in one another. I liked how these shifters of magic in this story where the Volcan's would undergo a quest in order to get their gifts and their animal companion. And let's not leave out the alpha male shifter hero that Tate was to Elise in being so protective and loving and oh yes their hot steamy sex was right on point.

"Healer's Need" was a good follow up from "Guardian's Bond." I would like to thank the author for the read and giving my honest opinion of the read.
