Eternal Soul
by Karimah Colden
Reign Elise La’ Roche is savvy in business, evasive in love, and private and protective when it comes to her personal life. Born in the flavorful city of New Orleans, she is also the descendant of powerful hoodoo magick, age-old African mysticism and dark family secrets.
This Creole beauty is content living a charmed existence; that is, until a strategic retaliation against her father changes her life forever. Reign is suddenly tossed into a whirlwind of betrayal, magick and the awakening of a whole new world where nothing appears to be in her control.
To protect and preserve her lineage, Reign soon learns that she must embrace the one thing she’d fought years denying…a bloodline of ancient power. And with time, Reign evolves from a successful artist and gallery owner, to a woman of unlimited means and potential with one climactic goal: vengeance.
Momma Says: 3 stars⭐⭐⭐
Part urban fantasy, part romance, this one is full of magic, mysticism, secrets, and danger. The romance feels a bit like a soul-mates type story and happens rather quickly, but Krystian has a secret that looms over them even as he and Reign get to know each other. I was a little disappointed with that secret - given everything else in this tale, I really expected more, and I'm not sure I get Reign's reaction. I did enjoy the magical side of this book, and I particularly liked the history of Reign's family line. I will add that this is not a standalone story. The conclusion is more open-ended than earth-shattering cliffy, but there is a lot left to be answered in Reign's story. All in all, this is a solid start for a series, and is certainly an entertaining and interesting read.
