Air Bonded by M.A. Abraham – a Review
Description:
Jenna, Julia, and Alissa are three orphans who were taken in by an elderly couple. The land they live on has been theirs for centuries, it is where they have stood guard over one of the last few portals in existence. They can see the nimbus that marks its location from their farmhouse, and like the others of their calling, they refuse to leave it untended.
Riehl, Goldier, and Falcon know what and who they are looking for. Disguised as apple pickers, the Elven males arrive to find their Life Mates being held at gunpoint. The weapons the enemy is using is beyond their experience and they will have to handle the situation with great care and without exposing their Life Mates to even more danger.
Review:
Air Bonded by M.A. Abraham is the 3rd novella in her Elven Sentinel series. Though this is the third book in this series, if you have not read the earlier books, this does read very well as a stand-alone; with enough information to keep you up on the story. Refresher: The Sentinels are elves who were sent to live secretly in the human world, and as the parents pass, the children step forward. These elves (pretending to be human) are scattered all over the world to watch over and protect the portals across the land to prevent anyone entering the Elven Empire. The Elves of the Elven Empire had no idea about the elves sent to the human world, centuries ago, and now with demons determined to discover how to get into the Empire, these elves lives are in danger.
The story continues when Gabriella and Lothrail send three (Goldier, Riehl,Falcon) of their warriors to the human world to find the three ladies (Jenna, Julia, Alissa) who have continued to protect the portal against everyone, keeping the secret, as well as hiding the books that could reveal too many secrets. The goal of the men, besides knowing that they will find their Lifemates, is to protect them, and get them back to the elven world, thereby closing this portal. The three girls are already in danger, with the demons holding them as hostage, determined to find the portal and the books.
When the Elves arrive, they sense that the girls are in danger, and pretend to arrive at the scene as boyfriends who have just returned from another apple picking job. What follows is an intense battle to save the girls, as well as protect themselves from the evil threatening their lives. When one of the warriors is shot, they need to find away to save him, and manage to escape; at the same time, get the girls to prepare the books to be ready to take with them. I really did like all six of the leading characters, and it was fun to see them recognize their Lifemates.
Air Bonded was another good story in this series, and though it was brief, I always enjoy seeing Gabriella. Air Bonded was another short story, that was very well written by M.A. Abraham. I think this story line will end with the next book, and the final portal to be found.
