My Merlin Awakening

Book 2, My Merlin Series

By Priya Ardis

Blurb:

If you haven't broken the rules, have you really lived?

Excalibur has been pulled from the stone, but what does it mean? Arriane (aka Ryan) DuLac doesn’t really care. She's got bigger problems—as student president, she's got to put on the Prom. While the Wizard Council debates their next move, she leaves the craziness behind and heads home.

But she can’t hide forever. Sooner than she’d like Merlin (aka Matt) has her chasing mermaids on the trail of the Fisher King. The wounded King, defeated by Merlin’s brother, Vane, in the past holds the key to save the future.

On the journey, Ryan begins to realize the friends she thought she knew, she may not know at all. At a time of shifting alliances, she must decide whose side she’s on—the brother who struggles to do right or the brother who dares to break the rules? And Ryan must decide who she is—a regular girl or a champion?

One wrong decision and her family falls apart. One wrong decision and the world falls apart. No pressure.

The second book of the My Merlin Series is available now in limited release on Barnes and Noble (barnesandnoble.com) only. Full release will follow shortly.

She started her first book at sixteen, writing in notebooks on long train rides in India.

My Review and Thoughts:

 

This second installment in the Merlin series was even better than the first.

Once again we are taken on a nonstop ride filled with lots of action, adventure, mystery and just enough romance thrown in to keep it really interesting (just in case the action and adventure wasn't enough for you).

We get more of the mysterious yet hot Merlin...err Matt and the sexy bad boy Vane.

Matt. Vane. I don't think I could choose between them.

Ryan definitely doesn't have it easy. Not only does she have two very tempting wonderful guys to choose from but she is the sword bearer and has to deal with all that involves by being it. Oh yeah and did I mention she has to save her friends, her enemies and the whole world too?

Yep, it isn't easy being Ryan.

And nothing that she did in the first book compares to the risks, sacrifices, trials and journey she takes in this one. Thankfully she doesn't have to do it alone. She has Vane, Matt, Blake, Grey, Gia and the whole gang there every step of the way to help her.

Good thing too, because she needs all the help she can get for this adventure.

This book was fabulous, it really was. I had a really hard time putting it down and unfortunately I had a full day planned when I started this one so some things were put on hold so I could sneak extra time to read just one more chapter which of course turned into one more until before I knew it I had a pile of things that still needed to be done and a finished book. But what a great time I had!

And lets talk about that heartbreaking ending? Gah! I really want more. I can't believe Ardis left us all hanging like that. What a tease!!

I can't wait to find out how this series will end. I know I will be right in line waiting to purchase it when it finally hits Amazon.

This really has turned into a favorite of mine and I know that I will be checking out what ever Ardis decides to write in the future as well. She has a new fan in me!

I give this one a very solid 5 Stars!!  

Favorite My Merlin Awakening Quote: Vane grabbed me. “DuLac, let’s chat.” Chat. British-speak for “Stand still while I yell at you. Read more quotes on Goodreads at: http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/19040563
