Of Fear and Faith (Death and Destiny Trilogy) by N.D. Jones Book Cover

Genre: Supernatural/ Paranormal Romance

Contains: Witches, Shifters, Dwarf, etc

When Special Agent Assefa Berber meets Sanura Williams, he knows that he is the familiar to her witch and that he has to protect her and her community from the creature that lurks in the dark and hunts for witches.

Sanura is equally drawn to the were-cat that appears before her. However, fear and scars from the past cause Senura to place a barrier around her and make her unwilling to create the connection that they need. Yet, Sanura must learn to put her faith in Assefa as danger closes in around them, along with the start of a war that occurs every five hundred years.

“Would you like that? To go away together and forget all this madness…?”

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

What Makes Of Fear and Faith by N.D. Jones A Good Read

  1. The Mystery

One thing that I definitely love about this story is the author’s ability to keep us guessing. She keeps the mystery about the characters and subplots tightly wrapped until she reveals the secret while giving us bits of information here and there. Just when you think you have a character or subplot figured out, she throws you a curveball.

2. The Characters

I’m in love with the characters, especially Mike. What makes the characters unique are their personalities and their baggage that they have to work through. Yet, what really makes the characters shine and come to life is their dynamics with one another and other minor characters in the book. Also, the nonverbal eye contacts add flavor to different situations.

3. The Subplots -the Many Adventures

What sets this story apart from many others is that the story doesn’t end once the first problem or case is solved. The different subplots allow each main character to shine and give us a glimpse of their lives after happily-ever-after. The author does it in a way that doesn’t drag the story out but continues to draw the readers in, making us want to learn more about the main characters and their relationship.

4. From Sizzling to Firey

From the beginning, Sanura’s and Assafe’s attraction to one another was through the roof. As the story progresses, we saw mini fire bombs and amazing fireworks go off.

5. Creature from Diversity Folklore

The author did the research and put in the time and effort to add supernatural creatures from different cultures while giving background information on them. As a history ‘wannabe’ buff, I totally enjoy this.

What I Feel Some Kinda Way About

1. The Last Subplot

While I enjoyed the last subplot and its setup, I felt it is out of place and slightly affects the feel of the book.
