5 Star Review ~ Solsti Prophecy Series by Sharon Kay

Wicked Wind (Solsti Prophecy Series #1)

Born with the ability to command the wind, Nicole Bonham dispenses her own brand of vigilante justice in Chicago’s worst neighborhoods. Stealth and surprise are always on her side. 

Lash demon Gunnar prowls Earth and several supernatural realms to help maintain peace among the immortal species. His chance encounter with Nicole creates a hurricane of sparks between them, and he won’t rest until she is his. 

They race to solve a series of supernatural attacks in the city. Nicole’s true identity brings the attention of the crazed demon behind them, even as her passion for Gunnar binds them together, body and soul. 

Nicole has become the one thing Gunnar can’t live without. Yet facing their worst enemy may destroy her. Gunnar must put aside past tragedy and trust that through her ability and their bond, she has brought myth to life.

Are you looking for an alpha male, with a little bit of demon, a female, who can take care of herself, literally? Well Wicked Wind is the book for you.

Review:

Nicole and her sisters, two of whom we know and one who we have yet to meet, have powers that they know nothing about. They use these powers to help innocent people. Little do they know they are the Solsti and have a greater purpose, some of which we find out in Wicked Wind. The use of their powers is how Nicole meets Gunnar.

Nicole is this mega kick ass female who shows no fear and puts herself in danger but she “demon in shining armor” is there to protect her. The story takes place on earth and Torth, the demon world. Nicole meets different types of beings, much like herself but so different and she truly gets the chance to take a glimpse into who her sisters and herself may be.

Gunnar knows she’s powerful but witnessed it when he was in harms way and again, she used the wind to protect him….***door opens into the love they have***

“Concentrating on her ability, she opened her heart to the all-consuming love she felt for Gunnar. She visualized their bond as a steel cable. Unbreakable…… Together, they would fight whatever hell was on its way…..Every cell in her body rallied as she drew on their combined strength……She envisioned the mist dissipating into nothingness. Not…gonna…let…you…win…”

Throughout the book you’ll witness the evils in the world that no one would believe existed and the struggle that Gunnar has to rid the world of this and also protect Nicole.

Wicked Waves (Solsti Prophecy Series #2)

Making daggers out of raindrops is only the tip of the iceberg for Brooke Bonham. As one of four women who can control the elements, her ability to manipulate water packs a deluge of potential. Eager to learn more, she’s frustrated at the precautions she must take to avoid the wrong kind of attention on Earth. 

Kai's duties as a Lash demon have kept him busy on Earth for nearly two hundred years. Fighting? He was born to do it. Females? They're drawn to him. And Earth? The perfect place for him to avoid supernatural bounty hunters.

Though the two of them mix like oil and water, Kai senses that beneath Brooke’s frosty exterior hides a vortex of simmering passion. He’s determined to thaw his ice princess.

Forced to work together in the immortal realm, they track a rogue Lash demon at the helm of a widespread kidnapping operation. All too soon, Kai’s dark past catches up to them. Time runs out as a second enemy, bent on revenge, vows to stop at nothing short of Brooke’s enslavement and Kai’s death. As they and their foes stalk each other in a demonic game of cat-and-mouse, will her evolving skills and their fledgling bond be enough to save them?

Review:

I can't not express how much I love the Solsti series. Brooke and her sister Nicole has come to terms with their powers and are coming to terms with just how much they are able to do and also what they will have to do when the time comes to save not only themselves but a lot of people.

Nicole is the mate of one of the Lash demons, Gunnar and Kai, is one of Lash demons who is fighting all of the demons coming from Torth. These demons shouldn't be on earth, which means something is wrong and it's up to them to figure out what's going on.

Brooke's power to control water is a great power but needs a little work and what better place to do that but Torth, when something is needed to help defeat the demons. While there, Brooke and Kai face all types of things but one is Kai's past, which can kill them.

When I started this book I couldn't put it down. I have never read a book and then re-read it within a day that I finished the book. I love the protectiveness that is shown as well as the characters. I loved Gunnar but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kai. I can't wait for the next book and I'm begging for more.

Author Sharon Kay is such a great person as well as a great author and she keeps giving us great reads!!!

Wicked Flames (Solsti Prophecy Series #3)

Gin Bonham lives with a dark secret. Born with an ability she never wanted, she builds her life around science and logic, running from the terror she is capable of causing. When sexy stranger Mathias spots her on a dance floor and cuts in, he leads Gin in a sensual rhythm that continues long after the music stops. But Mathias hides the fact that he knows exactly what she can do: in the deepest recesses of her mind lurks the power to manipulate fire. Destiny is coming for her and it doesn’t care if she’s ready or not. 

Mathias possesses tracking and espionage skills so extraordinary that his fellow Lash demons call him The Hunter. Pursue and interrogate. He never fails. When he is tasked with coaxing Gin to work with the Lash demons against a common enemy, he relishes the challenge. But meeting her awakens a new, primal drive that pulls him toward her even as his tactics break her heart. 

Failing to win Gin’s cooperation is not an option. But she is determined to flee, putting thousands of miles between her and any other supernatural creatures, including Mathias. Can she cool the charred embers of her emotions enough to forgive Mathias and embrace what she was meant to become? Or will her ability explode into something more than she can control?

Review:

What can I say but wow and more and more and when is the next book coming out!! We got to know a little about Mathias in books one and two of the Solsti series, Wicked Wind and Wicked Waves. Mathias can do it all and he does. He's the hero, the hot alpha male, the man who puts it all into perspective.

Mathias was put on the job to make Gin use her powers but she fought and fought hard. During all of the measures used, he fell for her very hard. The electric and paranormal pull that both of them had was sizzling but what would she think of him once she found out who he really was?  He knew he world didn't consist of anything magical and she refused to admit who she was.

The battle that they had to fight came full throttle at one point and the real question was...would Gin tap into everything that she is and save them?  Is she ready for the next adventure?

I love Sharon and the Solsti series. All of the story lines are fabulous and I would love all of the characters to have a book. I could go on and about how fabulous the series is. Wicked Flames is mezmerizing and addictive. A must read and I can't wait for book 4!!

On Wicked Ground (Solsti Prophecy Series #4)

The lost memories of a thief...

The first twelve years of Alina's life are a black void. An accomplished thief, she uses her cloaking ability to pick pockets as well as stage elaborate heists. Digging deeper into her past sets off a chain of events that puts her, and the family she has just discovered, in the  sights of their worst enemy.

...and the scarred heart of a guardian...

In secret, Lash Watcher Caine plots vengeance for the destruction of everything he loved. Branded by loss, he longs to find his one true mate, knowing that only with her will his heart fully heal. When his brief meeting with Alina is interrupted by her elaborate evade-and-escape plan, he knows there is more to her than meets his watchful eyes. But nothing can prepare him for the lethal power of her mind.

...collide at the fault line of destiny.

A brilliant villain with a vicious and loyal army behind her can only be stopped by one force: the combined power of four women who command the elements. Alina, with her newly-discovered affinity to the earth, becomes the linchpin to halting the desecration of their world. Thrown into a battle plan and a new family, she finds joy in in the quiet strength of Caine's arms. But when the secrets to her past are revealed, she learns a terrible price has been paid in advance. The very magic that allowed her to live to fulfill a prophecy will forever deny her heart's deepest wish.

Review:

We are at the final showdown on the series and it was ultimate.  The sisters deal with things in their own way but what I love about them is the fact that they are girls and act as such. They know how to push buttons and get what they want.

Alina and Caine are different than the others. Alina has learned how to take care of herself by being a theif but she doesn't really know what she is capable of. When she originally meets Caine, it wasn't under the circumstances that she would have liked but the feelings were there and it was different from what she had felt before.  

Caine was an alpha demon who had things in the past that made him want to family with the white picket fence but he had one goal that was stopping him from getting there, until he met Alina.

When the sisters finally meet, they are in for more than what they could possibly imagine.  Alina's father plays a more vital role than they all could imagine and Alina's life is more fragile than anyone could imagine.  Will her role be more vital than anyone knows? Will she get the white picket fence?

Sharon has once again given us a fabulous story and the battle couldn't have been better for the sisters to reunite. All of the story lines given were wonderful finding the powers and using them to defeat the crazy demons but this story was different. It just not the demons that need to be defeated but the one thing that each of the girls treasure so much.  The lash demons are there to protect them with everything they have and I love each of them.  I anxious for the next story to continue so we get to know the demons better!!

Kissed by a Demon Spy

Kidnapped as a teen and forced into a life of sexual slavery, Garnet vowed long ago to do whatever she could to spare others her fate. When karma comes full circle with an offer of freedom for her and her young son, she jumps at the chance.

Steeped in shame, Garnet is loath to share her past with Aden. But Aden senses a sweet, loyal strength in her that no amount of horror can erase. His dangerous work is the opposite of the stability Garnet craves. Yet Aden’s patience and strength make him the hero she never had. When the enemy targets them, Garnet and Aden realize that honesty is the truest form of courage.

Review:

Sharon Kay delivers yet again!! I have fell in love with the Solsti Series and each book gives you more information on our alpha demons.

Garnet's life was not what she envisioned. At a young age, she was a happy child but kidnapped into slavery, didn't make her weak, it made her stronger. She never gave up on life and living life for her son Dash.  When an opportunity was there, she had help to get away from the hell that they were in.  Solsti sister, Brooke and her mate Kai, sent Mathias back to get her from the slavery and they came just in time.

Garnet wanted to live again and give her son the life that she didn't have.  Dash needed to feel settled and she wanted him to be happy so moving to the town that she grew up in would only be the right place to go and be happy.

Aden was a "spy" and a protector. He wanted to make sure everyone was safe and that was his job but it was also something that he just did.  The first time he saw Garnet, he felt a the need to protect her. He knew she needed him but he also needed her and once they met, it was a true love story.

Garnet and Aden protected each other in more ways than just in the physical sense.  They protected the feelings and heart of the other. Aden didn't know everything about Garnet but knew enough to know he would love her regardless and Garnet wanted to protect Aden from the hurt that she could possibly bring in a relationship.  I loved how everything unfolded and I loved that Aden really saw how strong Garnet really is.

I love the Solsti series and can't wait for the next book!

This series was amazing and I hate to see if come to an end. The lash demons were spectacular but the solsti sisters held there own!!
