    This series is really heating up!

    In Mactus you get the same magnetic romance between Charmeine and Tabbruis, along with some huge surprises.

    I was either sighing over Char and Tab, or chuckling about Shane.

    I also did a lot of `take this' and `take that' when the evil-doers showed up. Every time one fell, I'd do a fist pump!

    Emily's love for her characters is shown in their love for each other. Never have I read a book with such love and devotion in a family. I get a goofy grin on my face when they share their emotions so freely with each other.

    He leaned to her and whispered, "Semper tuus ero, Charmeine."

    She whispered back, "Semper tua ero, Tabbruis."

    There is more than one love story being told in Mactus. And Charmeine has some heavy decisions to think about. But I believe this family is tough enough, strong enough, to triumph over any obstacle.

    As I closed the book, I studied the cover and my mind wandered. And I dreamed.

    I can't remember what I dreamt, but the feeling of joy stayed with me all through the day. I'm sure Emily's characters had something to do with that.

    Each book gets better and better as you become more committed to this family.

    Light and dark. Angels and vampires. The Light-Bearer series casts a spell of charm and holds you tight.

    Emily gifted me a copy of this book. My review was honestly given.

    The surprises, twists and turns never fair. The characters are so very real and I feel like part of the family. Charmeine, Tabbrius, Shane, Dmitri, Sandra, and Neal are all such wonderful characters. They are all developed so well and Emily uses her skills to draw readers into this series even more, with the second book.

    Keep up the wonderful work Emily!

Char makes a recovery thanks to both Tab and Shane. Plans need to be made to stop the Elder Council continuing it's path of destruction. Tab sees frightening visions of Char and wants nothing more than to stop Char from fighting period. Tab's longtime friend and brother Dmitri encourages Tab to trust in Char's love and also to believe in Char. For the most powerful on Earth is love. Shane learns that his love Sandra Gomez is free of the military. Will Char and Tab's dreams come true? Will Shane get his wish? Will the prophecy come true? Will the Blood Hunters keep coming? Your answers await you in Mactus.

    I gained further insight to Charmeine's powers and gifts. Tab is a wonderful alph male that will do anything to protect his love and his family from his enemies. I loved the revelation that Shane is Tab and Char's son! What a great reveal! Definitely looking forward to the next installment in the series.

    Mactus is the second book in the series by Emily Guido. It follows two characters, Charmeine and Tabbruis, one a light-bearer and the other a vampire, who should be mortal enemies. It is an ancient war between good and evil but the two fall in love, re-igniting a passion forgotten over time.

    Readers who enjoy supernatural romance stories will find the story intriguing and alluring.

    I chose the five star rating for the same reasons. I'm enjoying the journey and find myself invested in each character with equal joy, concern, trepidation, and suspense. The plot is developing at a nice pace. I don't always enjoy a frenetic race to the finish! This is one delicious ride!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent second part
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2013
    The author of Mactus gave me the book free so I could give an honest review. As Emily gave me a signed first edition, I did not want to ruin the book, so I also downloaded the latest version to my kindle. I did enjoy the book, and I feel that Emily is a very good author. I am looking forward to reading the remainder of the series.

    Mactus starts immediately where Charmeine, the first book in the Light-Bearer series, left off so there is no loss of weeks or days. Charmeine has discovered who she is and what she is. New characters arrive to help explain what Light-Bearers and Blood-Hunters are. The book brings the relationship between Charmeine, Tabbruis and Shane to light. In addition, how the new characters - Dmitri, Thomas, Neal and Sandra come into play. This is where I feel that the book went a little over the top. When a character finds out what they are, then they immediately know how to use the abilities and everything that goes with it. I cannot go into too many details, as I do not want to spoil the plot. This area is my only gripe with the story.

    Emily writes in her particular way again with her descriptions that say that she is an author of unique style. I would suggest picking up all three books in the series and read them, as it is a definite kicker of a series. I am really looking forward Accendo - the third book - as this ends at the perfect place so the third book will have a straight run. Thoroughly enjoyable.

    Charmeine, Mactus and Accendo originally had been a single book, but splitting them into three made for easier reading.
