When we first meet Lorelei she is quiet and unassuming, trying hard to remain that way as she works in her (deceased) Gran's cafe. However, things quickly start moving along as she invokes the wrath of a cheerleader who is dating her best friend, a boy appears out of nowhere and insinuates himself into her life (and she's completely okay with that) and we won't even get to the fact that when she was younger she thinks she did a deal with some sort of angel, except he had black raven's feathers on his wings, and he now controls her singing voice.

There is such a lot going on in this book and that is just the beginning. It all changes when she falls into Adrius' world and discovers that nothing is what it seems. I have to say that for someone who gives the impression of being unassuming in the 'normal' world, she certainly has a lot to say in a world she knows nothing about. I liked Lorelei but I did find her annoying at times with her 'quick wit' and complete disregard for anyone's opinion other than her own. And don't even get me started on how she can't do as she's told! Like I said, quiet and unassuming?!

The relationship between Lorelei and Adrius is complicated, to say the least, and certainly lives up to the title of the book. There is intensity and passion, along with a frisson of the forbidden. There is also, however, a strong hint of a love triangle which I'm really hoping doesn't come to anything. There is enough going on, and they have enough against them, without the need for a triangle. This would just add something completely unnecessary in my opinion but then I'm not a big fan of them anyway.

On the whole, this is a fast-paced, action-packed fantasy novel that starts off a new series with oomph. Definitely recommended to all YA Fantasy fans out there.

Right then, I'm doing to try my hardest not to give out any spoilers, but there are some things that have happened in previous books, so I really hope you've read them!!!

First of all, this book brings to a close The Reverians series, and it does it in style! This is a thrilling and action-packed finale, full of emotion.

This series is the first thing that I have read by Sarah Noffke, but it certainly won't be the last. She has captivated me with her writing style. She writes believable characters complete with flaws that you can identify with and you will solidly get behind them, encouraging them in whatever it is they are doing. Of course, she will also rip out your heart, tear it to shreds and then stomp on it, just for fun! And then, once she's done that, she will give you hope until you feel your heart start beating again.

After the ending of book 2, I was devastated. It's as simple as that. I spent the last how long of the book f'ugly crying! Trust me, that was a situation I did not want to repeat! However, she wasn't going to let me off easily. There is more than one situation in Warriors that had me crying. There is a storyline that runs through the books with Rogue, Em, and Zack, that finally runs its course. The best bit is I can't imagine it any other way. It was at once completely obvious and at the same time, left you hanging with would it/wouldn't it be happening.

I started this series simply because the synopsis intrigued me. By taking a chance on an unknown author (to me), I've found a superb series that I have thoroughly enjoyed. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this book and this series. Go on, take a chance on a new author yourself!!!
