Awaken Astral Blade Review

She just wanted to stop running. But she ended up running into the wrong wolf. At seventeen, Mia just wanted to finish high school without having to disappear in the middle of the night once again. But her life had always been like that: sudden escapes, new cities, and secrets her mother refused to explain. Everything changes when, after the tragic death of her grandparents and a violent crisis that almost destroys her, Mia is taken to Forks—an isolated town where the man Elisa swears is the only one who can save her lives: her father. What Mia didn't expect was to discover that she wasn't entirely human. Nor that her blood would awaken an ancient instinct that should not be stirred. Especially in Nolan. The bad boy of the pack. The heir. The wolf who should lead and choose a perfect Luna... not a half-human girl, out of place and covered in scars. Nolan doesn't want Mia. But he desires her with a force that drives him crazy. And the more he tries to resist, the more dangerous the attraction between them becomes. Between intense provocations, forbidden touches, and buried truths, Mia finds herself trapped with a mate who fights against his own destiny—and against the feeling he swears doesn't exist. But how long can Nolan deny the bond? A story about secrets, blood, and desire. And about what happens when the wolf finally finds his female... and tries to run away.

A phoenix is a soulless creature with immortality and resurrection or life after death. It has a mortal mate who is in possession of the blue flame, and when that flame connects with the red flame carried by the phoenix, it creates a crystal ball-like structure filled with the energy of yin and yang. When that crystal ball finally enters the body of Phoebe she will become a deity with divine power, but that process is only available to a person blessed with the power of the Phoenix. And if she foolishly decides to become human, the next phoenix will be doomed to a curse that will awaken after its thousandth year of life.

“I don’t negotiate, I take. But just this once… name it.” Ryker’s voice was low, commanding. “Whatever you want, it’s yours.” Serena’s heart pounded. He had taken everything from her, her freedom, her choices, her life. And now, he was acting like he could grant her a wish? “Huh?” “Yes, speak your desire and I will make it a command.” “Anything?” He nodded, his grip firm around her waist, his golden eyes locked on her. “Then I want your life. I want you dead!” Silence filled the room. Serena braced herself for his anger. But instead, Ryker smiled. “Alright.” Before she could react, he turned and said, “Bring me a knife.” The blade was cold in her hands, her fingers shaking as she clutched it. This was her chance, her revenge. The moment she had dreamed of. She didn’t hesitate. The knife plunged into his chest. His body fell. His blood spilled. And yet, moments later… he was standing right in front of her. Serena’s breath caught in her throat. She looked down, his lifeless body was still on the floor. But he… he was alive. Watching her. Smirking. “You got what you wanted,” he said. “Now, it’s my turn.” She had tried to kill the monster who killed her father right in front of her. But monsters don’t die so easily. And now, she was his. “Welcome to my world.”

"Mom, I don't get what's happening? Wedding?" "But darling, you already accepted the St Daniels' offer," Melissa said sweetly to her daughter. "I didn't know what I was accepting," Mari protested. "She pleaded with me to help her son Raymond." "Of course, honey, you're helping Raymond by marrying him," Melissa said. Her tone is filled with sweetness, trying to damp her daughter's fury. "And besides, this arrangement is crucial to your father. Tell her, Cullman, she needs to know." Mari's gaze shifted to her father, her eyes narrowing. "Catherine, my businesses are crashing and I'm on the brink of bankruptcy," her father admitted. "I couldn't bear the thought of my competitors gloating over my downfall. I had to strike a deal with the St Daniels. They were looking for a suitable bride for their eldest son, and...I'm afraid you're the price I had to pay, Catherine." Mari sighed, her mind still reeling in confusion. "But Raymond St Daniels is still in a coma, how is it possible for me to marry him?" Both parents exchanged a secret glance. Her mother was the one that spoke up. "Raymond St Daniels has awaken from his coma. But the doctors said he'll be crippled for the rest of his life."
