The
Breach: Devon
The
Guardian Series Book One
by
C M Bethell
Genre:
Romantic Suspense, Light Paranormal
A
suspenseful narrative of good and evil wrapped in parallel worlds
with a unique love story, strong friendships, and glimpses of family
ties with twists and turns…is the bonding legend of the Anam Cara
real?
"Devon
Conchobar, a Celtic Guardian of Odin, a parallel world to Earth,
carries a dark secret which now confronts him as he endeavors, with
the help of his Guardian brothers, to prevent another portal breach
that could destroy everything and everyone he loves, including strong
willed Keira Cathbadh, with whom he experiences what could be the
legendary bonding of the Anam Cara. Was it real, or his
imagination?
Keira
Cathbadh, lost her mother and father the majority of her Clan, in a
portal breach on Odin. Devastated, she became the defacto leader of a
small band of survivors, guiding them to a new life on Earth. Her
determination to keep them safe and record their historical library
leads her to an unexpected encounter with the one man who can help
her face a new enemy and possibly open her heart. But will Keira be
able to forgive Devon's secret? Or resist the bond of the Anam Cara?
"There is a destiny that makes us brothers. None goes his way alone, all we send into the lives of others comes back into our own. We will guard and protect each other, our people and the mortals, until our last breath."
This was the oath that Devon took centuries ago when he walked through the portal. He failed.
A breach between the two worlds has left a village all but annihilated and its inhabitants brutally slaughtered.
It has also left Devon questioning his abilities to lead the guardians.
Devon's character was, for me, easy to get attached to. His personality is laid back with a touch of humor. He is a protector, a leader, a son and a friend. He enjoys living on the edge, seeking out problems and solving them. His fellow guardians are his family as much as his blooded family.
The universe that Bethell created was such a fascinating mix of sci-fi and paranormal. The characters are animated and truly bring something unique by way of their individual personalities to the story line. The world building was detailed and graphic, easy to picture as I read.
It did take me a while to get down the who's who with regards to the cast and events. But once I did I was lost in the adventure.
Devon, Gabriel, Stefan, Ayden, and Catronia make up one group of guardians. And Robert, let us not forget the young go-getter.
Leigh .. i just wanted to stuff her head with cotton - not sure if that would stop the mindlink but one could hope.
Keira had me wanting to knock some sense into her at times. The girl is highly intelligent and truly has the strength required to lead. But as someone who has lived through a tragedy, she is wary of who to trust and takes her role as protector seriously.
The energy between her and Devon was a maelstrom of give and take. It was fun to watch as they tried to make heads or tails of the current between them.
There are so many directions this series can go I am truly excited to see what happens next.
If you are looking for a fast-paced read with lots of action and suspense. Really bad bad guys and gal (fine she was just a pain) and a touching romance - Look no further!
A must add to those who enjoy a detailed and entertaining para/sci-fi adventure.
