... Read moreOkay, bookworms! I just HAVE to talk about Alana Powers' Unholy Trinity Trilogy. If you've been searching for your next dark paranormal fantasy romance obsession, stop right here because this series is it! I stumbled upon Lead Us To Temptation – the first book – and was immediately hooked. The covers themselves, with their dark, fiery, and serpentine designs, totally prepared me for the epic journey inside.
Inspired by shows like Supernatural and *Lucifer*, Alana Powers delivers a world brimming with Angels & Demons, but with a fresh, captivating twist. What really drew me in were the incredible tropes she masterfully weaves together. We're talking serious female rage, which is just so empowering to read, especially with a fierce Latina FMC at the center of it all. As someone who loves a strong heroine, this was a huge win.
And let's not forget the enemies-to-lovers dynamic, which is always a favorite of mine. There's nothing quite like the tension and slow burn build-up when two characters who shouldn't be together absolutely cannot resist each other. Speaking of slow burn... *chef's kiss*. The pacing is perfect, keeping you on the edge of your seat, craving more with every page.
The spice level? Oh, it's definitely there, adding that extra layer of intensity and passion that I look for in my romantasy reads. And for those who adore the protective male lead, the 'touch her and die' trope is brilliantly executed. You just know our hero is utterly devoted, and it’s swoon-worthy!
Another aspect I loved was the found family element. It’s so heartwarming to see characters who are initially broken or alone come together and form unbreakable bonds amidst all the chaos and danger. Plus, the dual POV gives you such a rich insight into both main characters' minds, making their journey, their hidden secrets, and their healing journey even more impactful.
Then there's the forced proximity, which creates some truly unforgettable and high-stakes situations. You know, those moments where they have to work together despite their differences, leading to undeniable chemistry. And for all my fellow 'he falls first' fans, you won't be disappointed. It’s glorious to witness!
I can't recommend Lead Us To Temptation enough if you're into this kind of story. And the best part? Deliver Us From Evil, Book 2, is out soon on April 30th! I've already pre-ordered my copy and am counting down the days. I'm so excited to see where Alana Powers takes us next in this gripping PARANORMAL FANTASY ROMANCE. If you haven't picked up Alana Powers' work yet, you're truly missing out. Get ready for a thrilling ride available on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback!
