Tethered to the World by Stacey BrutgerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fabulously Different Supernaturals
I love it when writers come up with a very different perspective on the supernatural world. This author has different in spades!
Annora is a half blood Phantom. She can slide into the world between life and death and manipulate both, bring health or longer life to the sick and injured, and death and sickness to the healthy. She has spent the last 10 years trapped by her uncle in a deep dark place underground that she could not escape from, whilst he tortured her and sold her abilities to the highest bidder.
After finally managing to escape she found safety in a boxing gym, working there for free food and a tiny room. Rufus the man who helped her was attacked by a group of wolves and she saved him. In return Rufus arranged for her to stay safe by enrolling her in a university where she could be protected.
Once there she was placed within a team of strange and powerful supernaturals, much to their dismay. None of them wanted her in their team but they were ordered to train her to help her stay safe. As much as she didn’t want to trust them and rely on them and they felt the same about her, they needed to learn to work together.
I love that Annora is a strange and different kind of supernatural. It means there are no shortcuts in understanding her powers, so the author can reveal them slowly to the reader in her own time. I also like that the men on the team are not werewolves and vampires, they are either much less often seen creatures, or ones that are invented by the author. It makes it all much more intriguing and captivating.
Once I started reading this book, I found it impossible to put down (thank you so much for a sleepless night!) as the characters and the story were fascinating and I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.
There is a cliffhanger, which isn’t surprising as it seems there is an awful lot to cover in this storyline. I can’t even be really annoyed because the book was that good.
I highly recommend it!
