Book Review: Wings of Light by Katerina Martinez

The Obsidian Order Book 1

Learn to fight. Pass my trials. Stay alive.

As long as I can keep my supernatural origins hidden, my life is simple. It’s just my best friend and me against the world, eating dried Ramen and peas, watching reality TV, and laying low in the city that never sleeps.

That is until Draven, a dangerously attractive hunter, tracks me down and kidnaps me. He’s with the Obsidian Order, and he gives me a choice: join their ranks or die. All I have to do is pass a series of deadly trials, competing against a bunch of supernaturals who want me dead. Sounds easy, right?

There’s one problem with that; I have no memories of my past, which means I don’t have the skills to compete. Now, I have to learn magic—fast—because I’ve been promised my best friend will die if I fail, and if we both die, the secret we’re carrying could fall into the wrong hands.

Then it’s all over.

Wings of Light is a fast paced urban fantasy, with characters that'll make you laugh, gripping scenes that'll make you frantically turn pages to find out what happens next, and sizzling romance that'll leave you wanting more.

My Review:

Holy wow! This is a completely different take on supernatural creatures. The detailed descriptions painted vivid pictures in my mind - I could see the story happening as I read it. The plot twists and turns and doubles back on itself leaving the reader wondering just what exactly is going to happen next. My mind boggles at how I'm supposed to put into words just how amazing this was without giving away the best parts of the plot. That's made even more difficult for me because there weren't any bad parts. There’s a lot to the feel of this story that makes me wonder, if at some point in the future, we’re going to learn that this is a sister series to Prometheus…? I look forward to finding out and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
