Greetings travelers. When we escape into the worlds of storytellers that we’ve grown accustomed to, it’s like greeting an old friend once more. We’ve worked with author CB Samet quite a few times now, and we’re about to embark on an epic journey with her once more. She’s recently finished a tremendous urban fantasy trilogy, The Shadow Guardians, and we’re going to start things off by looking at the first in the series, Raine Down. Read on to discover your new favorite contemporary fantasy.
Author CB Samet has an impressive back catalog, and while the books that we’ve explored early on are fantastic, it is the talespinner’s newest works that continue to excite and electrify readers and fans. Such is the case with Raine Down: An Urban Fantasy Adventure (The Shadow Guardians Book 1). Samet takes all of the skills and practice that she’s acquired over the course of writing dozens and dozens of books, and wraps it into a captivating tale that covers Norse fantasy in ways that folks haven’t seen, and making them shine even amidst the darkness of a mischievous and brooding urban fantasy. There are mysteries abound, jaw-dropping revelations, and a budding romance that readers will love to cheer on. All in all, Samet has learned how to make her balancing act work for her stories.
Ragnarok happened. Survivors converged on earth many millennia ago, breeding and blending with humans. Now, a secret battle of bloodlines is being waged in the shadows of the real world.
Raine Thoren became a Shadow Guardian to protect non-magical humans from threats they aren’t even aware of. But the latest killer on the loose has stealth and power unlike any adversary she’s faced. She won’t be able to bring this one down alone.
FBI Special Agent Will Decker prefers to work by himself. When a mysterious woman saves his life, she’s suddenly assigned to work with him in his quest to track an elusive killer. The more he learns about his new partner, Raine, and what demons lurk in shadows, the more fantasy becomes reality.
If they’re going to stop the demon and unravel prophecies of the future, they’ll need to work as a team and unlock each others’ hearts and untapped powers.
***Raine Down is the captivating first book in The Shadow Guardians urban fantasy romantic suspense series. If you like engaging characters, sizzling tension, and magic, then you’ll love this series.***
Raine Down shines throughout, thanks to well-developed characters, exciting passages and prose, and a careful balance of existing mythology and interesting new worldbuilding. Samet has honed her craft over years, and found ways to captivate her readers from cover to cover. Even though they’re likely to race through the book, they’ll no doubt be eager for more, and the author delivers. With the trilogy done, and three wonderful supplemental stories also available, now is a terrific time to jump into some of CB Samet’s best work.
