Refuge

Anyone else realize there's a pattern going on? At the end of each book, Sara gets separated from Nikolas so for like 20% of the book, there's no Sara-Nikolas time (I need to come up with a ship name for them). I NEED MORE SARA-NIKOLAS TIME, especially after that last book with all those hot make-out scenes and heart-to-heart moments.
I like how Karen Lynch wasn't overly obvious about who the culprit/traitor was. I guess it was kind of obvious who it was, though, because Michael was pretty much the only one who was both away from most situations, and conspicuously suspicious.
It was also kind of obvious Nate got turned into a vampire, though maybe that was Karen Lynch trying to get us ready for the next horrific thing to happen; maybe she made it a little more predictable to make sure our hearts don't crack and break into a million piece (thanks for that, by the way).
I really like these books because the main character isn't really stupid. We didn't have to go through the whole introduction-to-the-supernatural-world in the first book where they just spent 10 pages going on and on about how “Yes werewolves are real. Oh, I'm a werewolf but I'm still your best friend. I couldn't tell you because it was for your safety...yada yada yada...” We get it.
And that was just the first book. I can't say that I'm not pleased with this second book, either. Sara became even more badass, we saw more of Roland and Peter (the wonder werewolves), lots of comedy relief, and so much more. I could gush on and on about how amazing this book was but it basically boils down to the fact that it was the book I looked forward to the most from my next batch of books to read.
PREDICTION: Madeleine is the Master

this was another great book the only issue with it for me would be the typos >.< i strongly dislike mistakes on a book. that is why they have editors read it and EDIT the book right ? for Karen to drop her books and still have mistakes is not it for me that is why i am going to give it a 4.5 and not a 5 ☆☆☆☆ other than that i love her writing and the creativity of her books.

i don't really like reading series when i don't have all the books but this series took all of my attention and i stay reading and not put it down because of how interesting it is. there is a lot happening. from Sara meeting her family that she did not expect to fighting vampires. a lot. finally accepting her feelings for Nikolas. learning more and more about herself, and training. making new friends etc.

i love all supernatural and reading about Sara and what she goes through throughout time when she finally moved to the base where all Mohiri warriors are at makes me feel like i have been there as well. my imagination is very wild and i love imagining everything. with how Karen writes and describes everything, it makes it easier for me to use my imagination and follow along making my own movie in my head. about that, these books would definitely be good as movies. as long as they don't ruin it like every other show/movie they do based on books. i hope the rest of the books don't have typos i would love to give her books 5 stars !!

if you are interested in supernatural, fantasy or romance or a mixture of all, this is a good series for you. trust me it will get all your attention and before you know it you'll be onto the next book. go and read it !!! if you want of course.
