Review ~ Forged by Greed

Forged by Greed 
(The Forged Series)
by
September 20, 2012  
Young Adult paranormal romance/urban fantasy novel.

Two Seattle 16-year-olds, Jatred and Jasmira, are not your typical star-crossed lovers.  They are not even your typical Shape Shifters. Sure, they try to live an ordinary life. At least, as ordinary as the Prince and the Princess of the rivaling ancient Races--the Winter wolves and the Summer leopards--can live. But eventually they learn that not much about their existence can be normal. Especially when the Races' two commanding Goddesses are involved.

One of the Goddesses is on a quest to tilt the scale of power to her side. The other will never let it happen, even if it means kicking Jatred and Jasmira's love to the curb. Nothing is off limits, including removing Jatred's memories of Jasmira.

To complicate things even more, there are the Universe's powers to consider. They are trapped in an ancient Amulet in order to protect the stability of the world. But the Universe has a mind of its own, and when the powers are unleashed, the forces of nature are disturbed; earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions shake the Earth. All Shifters of both Races are summoned by their respective Goddesses to fight in the name of, or against, the normalcy of the world.
My Review:
5 Stars

A fast-paced, action-packed, paranormal, romantic thriller that is sure to have you giggling!, November 28, 2012
I was gifted this book by the author for an honest review. This tale of shifters, goddesses, & demons is quite unique! If you enjoy a fast-paced, action-packed, paranormal, romantic thriller that is sure to have you giggling before long then this would be the book for you!
The characters are full of life, questions, & mystery. I really appreciated getting to hear the different POV's as the conflicts became more intense. It helped me to re-evaluate who's side I was truly on.
I also found myself relating at times (as a parent) to the fact that much too often we don't give our kiddos enough credit. If we'd just open up, share, & listen more ... many times we'd be amazed! ;*D
Throughout the last few chapters I was totally in lip biting suspense ... all the way to the end!! Now I must impatiently wait for the sequel!


There are two anthologies of short stories, serving as the prequels to the series. First of them, Forged by Magic: Origins was published on May 31st, 2013. The second anthology, Forged by Legacy: Beginnings, was published on July 10, 2013. The next three full size novels, including Forged by Coalescence, will be released in 2013 and 2014.
