Hidden at the crossroads of the world, an ancient race battles to protect humanity, even as it dies from within.

Ava Matheson has never found a home. She's traveled the world looking for answers, tormented by voices that threaten her sanity, but even in the ancient city of the Istanbul, answers remain elusive.

A chance meeting in the Spice Market puts Malachi on her tail. He's reckless--resigned to his fate--but something about Ava catches his interest. While unseen forces circle them, Ava and Malachi search for answers.

Whispering voices. Deadly touch. Their passion should be impossible... or it could be the only thing that will keep them alive.

THE SCRIBE is the first book in the Irin Chronicles, the contemporary fantasy series by Elizabeth Hunter, author of the Elemental Mysteries.

Review

THE SCRIBE is a perfect marriage of urban fantasy with tinges of romance. Creating a world in which ancient evil battles for turf and the heart, and the innocent are trapped in the crossfire, [Hunter] leads us on a riveting journey through the streets of Old Istanbul and old magic. An awesome ride!

An Emotional Ride, Action and Suspense With a Romance For The Ages

October 15, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I am thinking that authors wait to release some of their best books until later in the year just to have reviewers like me sound like idiots repeating ourselves about "this is the best thing this year' and similar accolades. I think I have said that about 3-4 times this year already. All that is to prepare you for me to say it again, this may actually be THE best thing I have read this year even though since it is book 1 of a trilogy the story is not complete yet.

Malachi is one of the Irin, a race of mostly males that have inscribed magical symbols/spells into their skin to allow them to fight off attacks to humanity by the Grigori a race of mixed blood of The Fallen.

Ava is a young woman, professional photographer that has been hearing "voices" all her life and has managed through mainly strength of will to remain sane.

Through her meeting and developing relationship with Malachi she has found out some of the answers to her "voices" but not all. This quest for knowledge and a romance that crosses all barriers will be the crux of this series.

This seems to be a romance at the heart of the story since that is what drives much of the action and to paraphrase another reviewer, this is indeed the best mix of romance and action I have read in years, the mix of good, evil, and powerful beings with motives that are completely unknown are all thrown together in a mix of fantasy, romance and action that is addicting to the reader and by the end of the book you will be desperate for the next release.

The ending while stirring elements of tragedy, hope and frustration is not a cliffhanger but does indeed hook you into the next book shamelessly which is what a good author is supposed to do but it does make us mere mortals wish for time to pass quickly so we can see what happens next.

This has all the feel of an epic story as was her earlier Elemental Mysteries series of 4 books but this story seems to be taking it to a much higher level and now I anxiously await the next installment.

5 Stars and I can only hope the other books in this series will be as exceptional.

Emotional start to a new series - I had a hard time leaving this world behind when I was done

October 15, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Modern day Turkey, with its rich history and exotic flavor, makes for a fabulous setting for the long lived Irin race who provide the 'paranormal' for the paranormal aspect of this paranormal romance.

There are so many things that I loved about the story which follows travel photographer Ava - who has feared for her sanity due to the 'voices' she's always heard - as she discovers the existence of the Irin and the reason for her brand of 'insanity'. The mythos surrounding the Irin is as rich as the setting and the reveal of their history has a real emotional impact, but what really makes this story live are the people who inhabit the world of the Scribe.

I really liked both Ava, who was strong and intelligent in spite of her affliction, and her 'bodyguard' Malachi, who was the perfect combination of powerful and vulnerable and controlled and passionate. The romance between Ava and Malachi was wonderful, it unfolded slowly allowing me to fall in love along with Ava and Malachi as they fell in love with each other. When the pair finally came together physically it was all about the passion and emotions of their connection, making those love scenes explosive without using a ton of explicit language.

The Scribe gets a full five stars me because I had a hard time leaving the world and the characters behind - even several days later I was still rereading some the scenes surrounding the more powerful emotional moments of the story. Now I am anxiously awaiting, The Singer, the next book of the trilogy since the ending to the Scribe left me with lots of questions unanswered. I can't wait to see where Ava goes from here and I am crossing my fingers that we will start getting some of the answers to the mysteries surrounding her.

Complimentary copy for review courtesy of the author, this is an unpaid review and my opinions are my own. **ETA - I liked this so much that I bought my own copy for my keeper library.

Never judge a book by its cover.... as the old saying goes

The old saying is a reminder to myself as I neglected reading this book for a couple months because of the title and cover. Once I stated reading it though I was happy I did.Read more

Frustrating but enjoyable

This book frustrated me at some points as the lovers took a while to trust in their feelings. And although I understand it it was still infuriating.Read more
