Divine Tarot

An Elder Races Collection

De: Thea Harrison

Narrado por: Sophie Eastlake

In True Colors: Alice Clark, a Wyr and schoolteacher, has had two friends murdered in as many days, and she's just found the body of a third. She arrives at the scene only minutes before Gideon Riehl, a wolf Wyr and current detective in the Wyr Division of Violent Crime - and, as Alice oh-so-inconveniently recognizes at first sight, her mate.

But the sudden connection Riehl and Alice feel is complicated when the murders are linked to a serial killer who last struck seven years ago, killing seven people in seven days. They have just one night before the killer strikes again. And every sign points to Alice as the next victim.

In Natural Evil: Claudia Hunter is on a road trip through the Nevada desert when she sees the body of a dog on the side of the highway. Pulling over to investigate, she quickly determines that the enormous animal is clinging to life. While working to save him with the help of the local vet, Claudia realizes there's something about the creature that seems more. Other. Wyr. Which makes this case of animal cruelty attempted murder.

Too injured to shape-shift, Luis Alvaraz is reluctant to tell Claudia what he knows about his attack, afraid it will only make her a target. But the sheriff is corrupt, and his attackers know Luis is alive and vulnerable. To make matters worse, a sandstorm is sweeping into town, and if they're going to survive the night, Luis will have to place all his trust in Claudia.

A tarot deck with a mind of its own.

In this two book bundle, we get our first glimpse of a tarot deck that seems to have a mind of its own. The journey of the tarot deck continues with Destiny's Tarot.

**True Colors**
-- 5 stars
Unlike with many of the other books in the series, Alice is a completely new character never mentioned before. I'm not honestly sure if Gideon had been mentioned previously either. Regardless, I very much enjoyed their story. They are the first couple in the series to recognize one another as mates at more or less first sight. That was an enjoyable change of pace. Their story, though short, is HEA with no cliffhanger.

**Natural Evil**
-- 4 stars
While I did enjoy this book, I'm not sure I enjoyed it quite as much as the first book in the Divine Tarot duo, True Colors (book 3.5 in the series). I did find the story very interesting. It honestly could've probably afforded to be a bit longer of a story. Unlike the previous books in this series, I don't remember Claudia and Luis claiming to be mates specifically. Additionally, I'm not entirely sure their future is all that well defined. Will they end up together? Is this relationship for life? All we know is that Luis got some time off following his injury and has decided to follow Claudia during that time. It seems to fall along the lines of a HFN ending, not HEA.

Can't go wrong with Elder Races!

I am a huge fan of the Elder Races books... so anything in this series is a winner for me.
I really like the .5 books, b/c it shows different aspects of the Elder Races world that don't focus on Dragos or one of the Sentinels, although Dragos or the Griffins are my absolute FAVORITES!

The first story was my favorite. The whole Tarot Card killer thing was really interesting. This is a must for those who follow the series... a great credit, buy or sale.

Narration was superb...as Eastlake is one of the best!

2 books in 1!

This held 2 books. Both books, and it does appear that there will be more, focus around an old set of Weir Tarot Cards.

The first is about a serial killer after a particular type of Weir. It had great chemistry, great buildup, but overall I was hoping it would be longer, and have a happily ever after epilogue, but it didn't. But always nice to visit the Weir Domain.

Second book was about a normal human stopping to help an injured dog that turned out to be a giant Weir dog...of course! Not a lot of chemistry in this book...it tried...but it failed. the leading female was 40 something and attracted to a twenty something Weir...it had a bit of an ick factor for me. Although it was always nice to visit the Weir Domain...'eh...I wish the first story had just been expanded more.

So, first story 5/5, second story 3/5, resulting in 4/4...and narrator was amazing as usual!

Divine Paranormal Romance

These short novellas are perfect treats for Elder Race fans. While nothing major happens to advance the story arc for the series, it's just a nice visit with character friends. Brief top-notch entertainment.

I review for the Guilty Indulgence Review Site.

Precious in Pink rhinestone collar

Great $3.72 members sale!!! Wow what a great listen. I would pay full price as heroine in story 2 In Natural Evil, is kick butt military. Ms Sophie 2014 male voice deepened and wow! Her 2011 2012 reads of this series are higher pitched so books 2-5, I own will be on the back burner. All these non Pia stories hold their own, and frankly eg Moonstone box set is wonderful. Hence l bought them all on 85% off sale. I love a good short story eg Earnest Hemingway, and Ms Thea knows how very well to write them. Entertainment just doesn’t get better. Thea’s dialogue is wonderfully strong. This story is right up there with reader January LaVoy Save Me from Dangerous Men. Not to be missed.
Were my comments of help?
