The Temple by Heather Marie Adkins

The Temple

"Vale Avari has a mysterious past and a laundry list of super-powers, but that's nothing compared to what she finds upon moving from small town U.S.A to jolly-good England.

A chance dart throw lands her in Quicksilver, an off-the-map place with a big problem - people are dying, and word is, it's supernatural.

At her new place of employment, a temple dedicated to the ancient Mother Goddess, Vale learns something even more shocking - women guards are disappearing at an alarmingly patterned rate; women who possess special gifts like her own.

Supernatural powers aside, Vale isn't ready to believe in the Wild Hunt as the culprit, and she's determined to prove the deaths are acts of human violence.

Plagued by a brute with a history of domestic violence and lusting after a dark-eyed man with a secret, Vale has a limited amount of time to discover the killer before he strikes again. In the process, she'll learn things aren't always what they seem and the supernatural might not be so extraordinary after all.

The Hunt could ride for her." (Description by Author on Smashwords)

Lets Talk About It:

I looooooved this book! Vale quickly became one of my favorite characters of all time. Not because of anything flashy or dramatic but because she is this super relatable character with super powers.

I loved the mix of mythology and witch craft that was found in this book. Along with the secretive nature of The Temple itself, which I still don't quite know why it's there or who founded it or what its really used for, that I found simply alluring.

This is a very face paced read. You'll pick it up and read it in one sitting. And YAY there is a book two in the works!! W00T!
