The Girl (The Sanctum Trilogy, #1)
The Sanctum, an all-powerful governing body founded by ten families, entrusted to maintain the peace amongst Magicals and ensure the ignorance of humans, has been corrupted by greed and savagery for generations, but is all Wyatt Clayworth has ever known.
A descendant of one of the Founding Families and Class A Warrior, Wyatt has always believed in the ways of The Sanctum, having grown up in the system and thrived under their leadership. A golden boy, renowned for his prowess and skill in battle, Wyatt has never questioned a mission or kill order until the night he crosses paths with a brutally injured and mysterious girl.
Scouring Central Park with his best friend and fellow Class A Warrior, Ryker Morrison, for the hybrid demon prophesied to bring an end to The Sanctum and destroy the world for Magicals and humans alike, Wyatt instead finds Dev and his whole life turns upside down. Told he was hunting a killing machine, hellbent on wreaking havoc and destruction upon all it encounters, Wyatt instead sees nothing more than a broken girl with haunted eyes and a bit of a death wish.
All Dev wants is for Wyatt to either kill her or leave her alone. When he refuses to do either, she finds herself being pulled into his life while being hunted by warriors everywhere she turns. Drawn to one another for reasons they cannot begin to explain to themselves, much less anyone else, Wyatt is determined to protect Dev and help her realize her mission to avenge the deaths of her family at the hands of The Sanctum.
Set against the backdrop of New York City, THE GIRL is “outstanding, original, complex, deep and intoxicating”, a “well written, unique…fast-paced read” that begins as one girl’s simple quest for revenge and evolves into a complicated tale of trust, friendship, honor and love.
The Boy (The Sanctum Trilogy, #2)

BLURB:
“Every now and again an excellent novel will come forth dealing with fantasy and magic that will just grab and hold my attention from beginning to end. That is exactly what THE GIRL did.” -- OOSA Online Book Club
Can you cross the plains of death, collect every piece of your soul and make it back to the land of the living?
And if you complete the journey, will your loved ones welcome your return?
The Ramyan have been answering such questions since the creation of The Sanctum. A mysterious sect of Magicals, haunting the blank spaces of time and memory, they serve no one but themselves and their higher purpose. They exist on a plane removed from earthly matters, shifting easily between the living and the dead, moving in time to the beat of their own drummer.
At least they did. Dev and Wyatt change all of that when the prophesied hybrid lands on the steps of Rinshun Palace, seeking help for the wounded Class A Warrior. That decision alters lives and sets old agendas back on course. But at what cost to Dev and Wyatt? And does that really even matter?

My Reviews:
This is a really good series. In the first book we learn about the world these characters live in. We learn about The Sanctum and how it was formed, and how it has progressed. We also learn about its heirarchy and their jobs. That would have been great for an intro to a series. However the author wanted to give us more. We meet Dev and Wyatt and their romance begins. Wyatt was ordered to kill Dev, the half breed. because she was going to be the downfall of Sanctum. The first book ends as a cliffhanger and the characters are not doing good. I am giving the girl a 4/5. I was given a opy to review from the author, however all opinions are my own.
The second book starts with Dev crossing plains of existance and we learn about the Ramyan. We also learn how they are involved with the prophecy and the impact it has on the main characters. This was interesting to read because to go between the plains of the living and the dead is not easy. The author did a great job of making me feel wooried about the outcome of what Dev was doing. It was also sweet because she was doing it for the man she loved. She did not think of how others would be affected. There are also a lot of interesting breeds of characters in this series, including vampires and angels. I liked the ending of book 2 better and I thought that book 2 had more drama than book 1. I am giving book 2 a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from the author, however all opinions are my own.
The author is also giving away a copy of book 1 and a copy of book 2 to two lucky readers. Please enter here:
