"It's not a story."

With four words Helena’s quiet life goes up in flames. When her childhood friend returns to tell her that she is the prophesied ruler of the Chosen, those blessed with the gift of magic, there’s no avoiding her destiny.

Suddenly, Helena is surrounded by a circle of protectors, each man having sworn their loyalty to her since her birth. All except for one: her Mate.

It’s not enough that she learn how to use her magic and undergo a trial to prove her worthiness; in order to claim her title, Helena must also find the man who carries the other half of her soul.

Exiled due to a past he had no part in, Von is the last man the Chosen expect Helena to select. Despite their protests, his soul calls to hers and there’s no denying that he was made for her. But the prophecy stands and all isn’t as it seems.

There’s an enemy lurking within plain sight who will stop at nothing to destroy her.

Meg Anne is a new author for me so glad I found her l. So it was quite good! Characters were easy to get along with, story was easy to follow which made it a pleasure to read. Strong female lead. I really enjoyed getting into this at world looking forward to book 2!

Mad About The Boy is a contemporary romance stalker story. Eli has things he wants to do with his life, like setting up a dog's boarding home and rescue kennels. He is working to do so, but strange things start happening to him. Luckily for him, he has his friends and Dominic there to help him.

I will be honest here, at points in the story, it is Dominic who comes across as a bit stalkerish. He was intense. However, it all worked out well in the end. As for the other characters, they are all very good. They do what they are supposed to, and that is support the main character, or move the story along.

There were a few loose ends that weren't tied up, not to me at least. I did enjoy this book, and am very glad I've read it. I was wavering between 3 and 4 stars, and have gone with 3 simply because of those loose ends. Perhaps it's just me not seeing them. I definitely recommend this book, because then you can see what I mean, and tell me where I couldn't find them!
