Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iTunes / Google Play

Description:
To bond or not to bond should be a simple question, but nothing is ever easy in the life of this particular Belador and Skinwalker couple.

Evalle cheated death after Storm and her friends pulled her from a brutal imprisonment in another realm only to now end up unable to shift into her gryphon. Against his better judgment, Storm agrees to hold off on bonding while they travel to Arizona to help his uncle figure out what is behind an unnatural death on the reservation. The more powers Evalle loses, the more she realizes linking to Storm could be lethal. As the investigation takes an unexpected turn, Evalle jumps at a chance to regain her gryphon and powers in an all-or-none gamble, but makes a deadly mistake. Storm has a breakthrough on the unnatural deaths only to realize he’s put a target on Evalle’s back.

Review:

Evalle and Storm by Dianna Love is book 10.5 of her wonderful Belador series.  I love this series, and can’t wait to dig in and enjoy each and every book of this series. In Evalle and Storm, Dianna gives us another exciting and tense story, even though it is a short story (a bit more than a novella). I love Evalle, who is one of my favorite kick ass heroines. 

When the last book left off in Treoir Dragon Hoard, the gang saved Evalle, but the cost for her was mind boggling; she could no longer shift to her Gryphon.   Evalle and Storm is a story we have been waiting for a long time; a tense but romantic story of our favorite couple.   Storm can see how Evalle is not handling her loss of her Gryphon, and sees she is slowly losing her other powers.  He tries to convince Evalle to bond with him and he can help her bring back her powers; but Evalle is afraid that if she bonds to Storm, she may infect him with whatever is still growing inside her. 

When Storm is called by an uncle to help a serious deathly situation in Arizona, he and Evalle fly to investigate.  As Evalle keeps weakening, Storm is concerned and despite his working to solve a dark majak murder, he is hoping a seer or their medicine man might be able to help her.

What follows is an exciting adventure that will put both Evalle and Storm’s life in danger.  But most of all, it is a beautiful romance between two people we have rooted a long time for.  We know Storm will do anything to save Evalle; but will Evalle be able to rise up and save herself?  Another wonderful part of this story, was a sweet chapter early on revolving around Feenix, our wonderful adorable cute Gargoyle pet of Evalle’s.  In my last review, I asked Dianna to give us more of Feenix, and I was so pleased to see this happen.  More more Feenix..  ?

Evalle and Storm was an exciting and romantic story line, with a frantic climatic finish.  Dianna Love always gives us great stories, and wonderful characters.  I loved how she devoted this book to Evalle and Storm.  Very well done. 

If you love paranormal, urban fantasy, exciting adventures and romance, with fantastic characters you should be reading this series, as Dianna is one of the best.  You need to start with the first book, in order to know Evalle (one of the best kick-ass heroines) and meet all the Beladors.  If you have not read Dianna Love, what are you waiting for?
