Goodreads Blurb:  Throughout history, myths and legends of extraordinary creatures have been told and retold. Fantastic tales of demons and banshees, gryphons and dragons, and of course, magic. Stories that every child grows to learn are nothing more than fantasy…or are they?

Beyond the world you see lies a hidden realm, the Mythrian Realm, inhabited by all of the creatures you’ve been told are mere fiction. Only one thing lies between humans and the truth: the Nexus. A magical barrier erected millennia ago to separate the two realms, it has stood the test of time. Until now.

For Mythrian Sha Phoenix, magic is nothing new. But when she stumbles upon a portal on the verge of collapse, her fate will forever change. Pulled through the portal into the Human Realm, she lands in the middle of Detective Connor Flynn’s brutal murder scene. Soon it is obvious someone is using blood magic to try to bring down the Nexus. Together, Connor and Sha must work to unravel the secrets before the barrier falls and the realms collide.

The Nexus is breaking and all hell is about to unleash…literally.

My Review: This story was jam packed with excitement, magic, surprises, romance, fantastical creatures and fun! This is my first time reading anything from Lindsay Avalon and I really enjoyed it! She placed me right there, in the middle of all happenings of the story and created an original world that many readers of the genre will find is a definite must read.

Sha is a powerful and amazing woman. She finds herself thrust out of her realm while doing her duty to protect her people and ends up in the last place she ever thought she’d see and in an awful predicament. On top of that, she’s accused of something she did not do. Luckily evidence proves what really happened and now she gets to be closer to Detective Connor due to unforeseen circumstances.

Connor, oh Connor… If this man was in front of me right now, I’d… hug him (not more than that because I would not want to upset Sha). He’s one incredible man! When he was first introduced I honestly did not like him, much. He came off as the ‘bad cop’. As I got further in and got to know him, yea, a definite hunkster extraordinaire that many will pine for. But sadly he only has eyes for Sha.

I enjoyed the way the story unfolded and the characters developed. Connor and Sha are one of my new favorite couples. I love the way they connected and their antics were a blast to witness! I look forward to see what Lindsay brings us in the next of Mythrian Realm series :)
