Vargr SciFi Warrior Romance Beast Horde Book #1 by Cari Silverwood

"Sleeping Beauty with a grim-dark twist."

Cyn falls from the top floor of the world into the arms of Vargr, a beaster who rates a diamond 10 on the Scale of Hardness. In her hands is a piece of Ghoul Lord. She's forgotten the last five years of her life, the years of the invasion of the Ghoul Lords. The beast horde was meant to save Earth. Once human, they now carry gene-warping nanomachines in their blood. No one told them they'd also been injected with the remnants of myths and legends. They tried and they failed. What can Cyn with her amnesia and sparkly eyes possibly do? Vargr isn't sure, but he's beginning to see the pros of nailing a naked Cyn to the wall and floor, over and over, until he gets some good answers. A crumbling world steeped in gothic sci-fi darkness, packed with throbbing, brutal males. Contains rough, intense sexual scenes.



MY REVIEW


If you have never read a Cari Silverwood book, I have a question WHY NOT ? I love authors who push the boundaries of what is acceptable, very few in my opinion do that to success, Cari is one of them they take all you think you know and spin it on it's head, it makes you uncomfortable and anxious but for the life of me I can not put the book down. When a writer can do that he/she has a fan for life. Cari is on my one click list and has been for a few years now.

Now to this book, what a fabulous start to a new series.

This been the first of a trilogy, very reminiscent of those early 90's sci-fi books where each book had it's own story arc completed but the main story rolls on in the background. It technically ends on a cliffhanger, ( WHICH i NORMALLY HATE )but not one of those high drama ones that pisses you off, and you're left wondering WTF and how long do I have to wait for the next one, and really only work if you actually have the next book to hand. In this case it ends on a tantalizingly note that will have you eagerly awaiting the follow up. The good news is that it shouldn't be too long before that drops.

I have seen it advertised on Amazon so hopefully not too long, What the hell am I doing talking so much about how the book ends ! When what I need to be doing is telling you about how flipping amazing this book is, how it blends a finely crafted, slightly mysterious and definitely menacing dystopian world with some amazingly awesome and rounded characters and some rough, dirty, hot and kinky s£x. I love dystopian books, its a what if kind of read and the way the world is, It might not be to far away. If you have read the Machinery of Desire series this is a little lighter, a little rougher around the edges than Preyfinders and nowhere near as dark as the Dark Hearts books. But it's still totally Cari Silverwood , which for those of you that don't know is in a nutshell another way of saying, fantastic, spellbinding, totally engrossing, super, by the seat of your pants kind of read. Now who can say no to a book like that. Not me that's for damn sure.


 

Other books in the trilogy and subsequent release days are as follows

Rutger: SciFi Warrior Romance (Beast Horde Book 2)

Due for release 15th December 2020

A post-apocalyptic romance.

The Ghoul Lords threaten the extermination of all humankind and much of our world has been destroyed. There will be love, death, and dirty, messy sex among the ruins.

Sex is what keeps a girl like Cyn from going insane with the blossoming light of dawn, for daylight brings the Lure.

A brutal act by Cyn tore apart the lovers and now she must make amends. She's going to need her well-muscled beaster males to rein her in, pin her down, and make sure she shoots in the right direction.

Gather your weapons. It's time to descend to Ground Level and find Big Daddy, the research vehicle lost during the invasion. Within must lie the truth of the Maelstrom experiment.

What she and the beasters were created from will determine the fate of our world.

Contains rough, intense sexual scenes


Cyn: SciFi Warrior Romance (Beast Horde Book 3) Release Date 30th January 2020

They are legends and myths made flesh and bone.

Cyn, Vargr, Rutger and the beast horde have discovered what they are, and the source of their experimental DNA is both mind-blowing and frightening.

Yet one of the three is wracked by monstrous changes. Will their growing love for each other and the reactions forced by bondmating be enough to keep them together?

As for the Ghoul Lords... their eyes are slowly opening, for the beasters are their first worthwhile foe for thousands of years.

To retaliate, the aliens develop a macabre weapon and spawn a great general - their enemies' loss has become their greatest gain. Back to normal programming. They will eat and kill all the prey they find without mercy.

Will Cyn, her lovers, and the beast horde be enough to save humankind?

Cyn figures more is better.

She cracks her knuckles and makes plans to destroy the alien mother****ers, blow them to smithereens with her pretty gun, and then she might just roll them up and smoke them.

This apocalypse should be a whole lotta filthy, violent, and obscenely smutty fun.
