Ana has barely finished the awakening process herself, and now she has to try to track down Athen and help him to begin the awakening process. Finding Athen is the easy part, discovering he is with the woman who haunts Ana's dreams is the hard part.

Legions picks up exactly where Awakening leaves readers, and I love that. While Awakening is a great opening book, Legions seals the deal making this series a force to be reckoned with. Between the amazing use of imagery, and a writing style that is so beautiful it is almost poetic, Legions far exceeded my expectations.

The love that Athen and Ana have is so compelling, and intense that you can't help but be slightly jealous she has him. It is completely romantic how their souls need each other, and they both would wait years to be together, while watching the other not even know who they are. The pull of both souls is so strong Ana no matter how hard she tries cannot stay away from Athen, even when his awakening process depends on it.

Ana has done a complete turn around in this book, her character has developed tremendously. Ana was once this scared girl who was unsure of what was happening to her and unsure who she was; she constantly relied on Athen to take care of her. In this book she grows quickly into a bad-ass fighter determined to save her man, and destroy the woman that threatens to take her place next to Athen.

Even though Legions seems like it would be almost exactly like Awakening only the awakening process is switched, it is not. An entire battle is going on within the story of good versus evil. A war is brewing and it is trickling over into the human world. I enjoy the fact the entire story was not just a replay, and the battle scenes are epic, just picture it angel versus demon.

Be sure to grab your copy of Legions it is a must read, but first snag a copy of Awakening to make sure you follow the story properly. ( )

Not a beat was skipped with the second installment in the, The Watcher’s Trilogy. I dare not give too much away for those that have not read Awakening (you can see my review HERE), so consider this a SPOILER ALERT. If you haven’t read it, please go read it – drop everything – and read Awakening. Then come back to learn about Legions…

Legions begins right where Awakening left off. Ana finds herself on the other side of the equation as she loses her beloved. She must find the courage to do what is necessary, all while continuing her own Awakening process. Now faced with grief, emptiness, and jealousy, Ana must track down Athen to start the process. But if she interferes it could set her back decades before they are reunited.

With the forces of evil growing bolder each day, the gang must continue to train Ana, find Athen and bring the fallen angels together for an impending battle that could mark the end of mankind as it’s known. Do they succeed? Will Ana find away to fight through the jealousy and agony she now faces? Does Ana finally see the return of the power she once possessed? Ha! It won’t be that type of spoiler now, so read the story you must!

Karice Bolton delivers a wonderfully paced story filled with action, adventure, magic, love, and even a few bleary eyed pages. This story is an absolute must read, and one I proudly paid good money for. Sadly I feel Ms. Bolton got the shorter end of the stick as I would have gladly paid more for the enjoyment of her work. I look forward to the final story in the trilogy, but also hope to read more from her after this one is complete. ( )

I read and reviewed the first book in this trilogy, called Awakening, which was an interesting book with a pretty big romantic story line. The first book ended with a huge cliff hanger, so if you haven't read the first book and you don't want to be spoiled then you should wait to read this review until you read the first book.

I enjoyed the idea of someone searching to find his soul mate and doing whatever it took to find that person, I mean what girl wouldn't want that to happen to her? So when the cliff hanger happened in the first book, I really wanted to see what was going to happen next. Now that I am done alluding to the cliff hanger, I'll just tell you what it is, Ana's (the main character in the book) soul mate Athen, who had been searching for Ana in the first book ends up in the same position that Ana was in, reborn and having no idea who he really is.

While I understood why Ana would have a huge reaction to losing her mate so soon after being reunited with him, I don't think it should have gone on as long as it did. I felt like Ana did more wallowing instead of acting, which for me made the plot kind of stall out a little bit. However Ana does have one thing really working in her corner more than anything else, she has visions. She had these visions in the first book, so it makes sense that the more time that past the more her visions would come into play.

I did appreciate the backstory given in this book as opposed to the first. I have to say that in the first book it was so much more emotion driven, especially on the part of Ana. And since you were primarily thinking about her and her situation, you really only got the basics about the world that she lived in, or rather had lived in prior to remembering who she really was. So with this book, while Ana is on a similar journey, she has already remembered who she was, therefore you get way more back story on the people involved and the issues they face.

Overall I think this is a good sequel to the first book, although it did have a few problem. There was the initial issue with Ana's reaction, but there were also some issues with the editing of the book. If you are one of those people who pick up on every little mistake in a book, then it might get a bit old for you. But overall I thought the plot was pretty good, and it was in line with the first book, so if you enjoyed the first book you will most likely enjoy this book as well. And if you like stories about angels you might want to check out this series as well. ( )
