Part of a new team with enhanced powers, Lucy and her friends begin a quest to avenge the souls that have been stolen. Enemies of the Patronus have united, however, and a spy from within the Patronus realm is feeding the enemy their every move.

About the Author

I started my obsession with reading at an early age, getting in trouble for sneaking BabySitter Club and Nancy Drew books into math class in elementary school. I would read any fiction book I could get my hands on. I knew it was an addiction when instead of grounding me from TV or music, my mom would take away my books as punishment (The Horror!). My love of all things paranormal was inspired by my good friend Laurie, who convinced me that books with vampires, witches, and all things shifter were amazing. After a little reluctance, I gave it a shot with the Sookie Stackhouse books, realized she was right, and the rest was history. I grew up in Pittsburgh, graduated from The University of Pittsburgh with my degree in English, and taught 8th graders to love reading as much as I do for several years. I will always be a proud member of the Steelers Nation, but I couldn't take the cold and moved my frozen tush to Florida where I now live with my family and two cats. You will find me now with my trusty Kindle in hand and toes in the sand!

5.0 out of 5 stars How will Lucy's quest turn out? Avenge tells all! October 11, 2012

By Book addict

Format:Kindle Edition

Let me first note that I won an ARC of this from the author and am basing my review off of it. I'm a 23 year old female and had just finished reading Awaken (the previous book in the Patronus series) right before starting Avenge.

I *highly* recommend that readers try out Sarah Ross's "Awaken" before starting this book, as the story continues to document Lucy's journey. While there is a paragraph that pretty succinctly sums up the events of Awaken early on in Avenge, you'll miss out on details that help demonstrate her relationships with other Patronus.

I was sucked in to the story and read it in a day. Loved it! Without giving away the story -

You'll enjoy this book if you're a fan of stories with guardian angel-type characters, mythical creatures, or romance (I should not that this isn't like many paranormal romances that are waaay over the top with the romance; it's more believable in this book).

The only thing I will say that struck me as a little weird is just the way vampires and werewolves, etc, are created in this world. Each faction steals souls to increase their ranks. It's a unique take on common creatures in paranormal stories, but it makes it much more reasonable to include them with these Patronus. Once you accept that fact, the rest of the story is amazing to read. You should definitely get it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fast Paced and Exciting Paranormal Novel! October 23, 2012

By Stephanie Ward

Format:Kindle Edition

'Avenge' is the second book in the Patronus series, which continues to follow Lucy Donovan and her team - a group of immortal beings known as Patronus - guardians of souls and spirits. In this installment of the series, Lucy and her friends continue to hunt for the soul of someone Lucy loves dearly, all while kicking some serious vampire and werewolf butt. On top of all that, Lucy and Max's relationship deepens, and they must face some of the hardest trials they will ever endure.

Just like the first book in the series, I thought that this was a really fun and fast paced book, and I couldn't put it down. I loved reading more about the history and backstory of the Patroni, their realms, and their purposes. I found it to be just as refreshing and original as the first book. The characters all show growth throughout this novel - especially Lucy, as she deals with immeasurable pain, suffering, and must reach deep inside herself to overcome great obstacles. There continues to be lots of action throughout the book along with interesting twists to keep things moving. The plot was very engaging and kept me guessing, which I really liked. I really enjoyed the development of Max and Lucy's relationship. It was a bit mushy at times, but still incredibly romantic and I enjoyed reading about them. Overall, this is a great continuation to the series, and is a very well written story that readers will love.

Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Avenge picks up right where Awaken left off. This one was action packed and definitely has you at the edge of your seat. There are twists and turns you don't see coming as well as some emotional moments. Can't wait to know more about the Patroni!
