Review: Oblivion (Rise of the Sphinx Series Book 1) by J Kearston

Oblivion Oblivion by J. Kearston
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mythical Shifters

I’d probably give this 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This author is new to me and though I enjoyed the book, but I don’t know if I’m intrigued enough to read the next one in the series.

Raina is a 25 year old single mother, who’s life has been difficult at best. The light of her life is her 4 year old daughter Skye. One day Skye is kidnapped as she leaves school, right in front of Raina’s eyes and to her surprise she manages to chase down the large, strong man and not only retrieve her daughter but kill the man. This is the start of a journey that leads her to three mythical shifters who take to both her and her daughter almost instantly (one is a bit more reluctant).

These three shifters are outcasts because they lost their chance at mating one of the very rare female shifters available, years before. They are driven to protect Raina and Skye, despite them being human, but the plot thickens when they realise that it’s shifters that are after Skye.

It’s quite a simplistic step by step plot, which is sometimes relaxing, because you don’t have to think too hard. I didn’t really connect with Raina much. She seemed a bit two dimensional to me, as were the other characters. To be honest my favourite was the 4 year old!

This book is escapism when you don’t want to think too hard about what is coming next, when you don’t want too much angst, but a little bit of peril is fine.
