Kiss of Skye

Kiss of Skye by Donna Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I feel like I’ve been waiting for Mason’s story since the first time he was mentioned. Full disclaimer, if you have somehow started the series here - while I think you can do it, you should probably (at least) start at the first book of this series, if not of the whole world building adventure. I’ve read most if not all of the preceding books, and even I have a hard time keeping all the characters straight.

So, Mason - we have heard about him since his sister showed up on Skye. He has been investigating his parent’s untimely death while playing the part of dedicated member of the organization that may just have killed them. He even needs to act the part to his sister and friends, which obviously causes a rift between them. We meet Rowan in this book when she is taking a bit of a forced tour of the meeting they are having. She immediately knows this group is rotten, but can’t seem to escape fast enough. On her way sneaking out the door, she follows her instincts and ends up saving Mason’s life.

These two obviously end up in Skye, where they are rapidly brought up to speed on the many various evil doers, big battles, other paranormals, and open mysteries they are facing as a group. While this is going on, Rowan and Mason are both on a journey of magical discovery - Mason thinking perhaps he could be the Water pillar they are looking for and Rowan learning the enormity of her role in this world. Of course, there are smutty good romantic elements thrown in for good measure, with your standard misunderstandings, martyrdom and finally HEA. While the group is still facing about a thousand unknowns and bad guys, this was a good step in the right direction overall.
