Great start to a story arc

"The Warbirds" is the prequel to "Force of Eagles," the latter being the first book I read by the author.  However, unlike other famous authors (Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts) this story arc starts out with the United States military getting its ass kicked big time due to politics (what else?).

Richard Herman brings his experience as a USAF fighter pilot to light in a way that non-military people, or even some service members won't understand.

This is a good progression for the story arc. The pace was quick even though the author insists on giving every single character a name. It left a few questions unanswered so I am definitely on board for part 3. While book one focussed on the military vs pirates (and their still partially unrevealed motives), this book pits the militia against a corporation whose armed forces exceed the military in power, influence, money and its number of soldiers. I can't wait to see how this space opera ends.

This is not my usual type of book but I am trying to branch out and read more "grown up" material. This was a great start to the series. There was a lot of action, great plot and as the story progresses through the 2nd and 3rd book, we grow to love all the characters, especially Nick. Very well done.

A great start to the series. Love the character development as well as the plot. A solid, well-written story that takes you along for the ride.

This is very short but it is also a very good start to the series. It will grip you and make you want to know what happens next.

Let me start by saying that I LOVE the story idea and all the characters where easy to relate too and fall for. The story started with action (I don't mean fighting), which was great! But I gave it 4 stars because I was little confused at time with some of the paranormal stuff, (what is a warder?) making some of the things that Mona did or said in the beginning a little hard to follow. But I am glad I didn't let it stop me because it is a really good start to a new series.

I don't like spoilers so I will say this: Mona and Cart are great main characters that you get to watch grow into a relationship that helps them grow into their powers and real roles in their every changing world. You also have Nic and Tania growing too, making their character just an interesting. Fate has a lot in store for these four. I am looking forward to the next book in the series so I can see what Mona and Cart new roles really in tell, just hope I don't have to wait too long to see what's going to happen next.

I would recommend this to other paranormal lovers looking for something different. It an interesting and great introduction to the world of Elf's, Werewolf, witches and now WARDERS!

I loved the opening scene; it definitely peaked my interest right away.  Good character building, which seems to be something many new authors haven't learned how to do. The story line is good, though more action would have gotten this book a 5 star rating from me. Still,  I enjoyed the story a lot, and the ending left an opening for more books to follow without being a cliff hanger or stopping abruptly (I hate books that pull those stunts). I am looking forward to reading more in this series.

What a wonderful start to a great story.  I can't help but picture the genie from Aladdin when I read it probably because that is the best genie of all time to me.  I'm so looking forward to the rest of the episodes.  I think it will be a delightful way to spend time reading a book.

I was given an arc in exchange for an honest review.  Starting off this is a very short first installment but it is very well written.  It starts with action right away and ends at a good point to keep you interested in reading the other installments. I love the idea about Irish shifters trying to save the royal bloodline.  The main characters have a good chemistry and love that she is not intimidated by him.  I am excited to see how the two alpha characters  inter act with each in further parts.

Another winner and great start of this new series. A sexy badass gladiator, an equally badass heroine and an arena where nothing is ever what it seems, all set  in deep space...what is not to like. It did not take me long to be totally drawn into the story. I pretty much read in one go and I loved it! I definitely look forward to the next book.

This is a great start to a series that really has a little something for everyone! I fell in love with many of the characters, and can't wait to see how they develop throughout the rest of the series. Having maps in place to visualize this fantasy world is a great addition

This is a wonderful start to what promises to be an amazing book. I love the character development and the way she brings just enough sexual tension to the story with out making sex the story line. Really great characters and a fun story line what more could you want? Oh wait the next installment right! I am on to the next part!

Levi attempts to hijack Harper's car after after leaving a house with an item. They are followed by a group wanting to kill them to get the item back. We have shifters, vampires, and elves mentioned in this book. They are trying to out run them and get the information from the card. Can't wait to read the next set.

This is a great start to a series with shifters.

Ms Reynolds did a great start to this new series, I'm a fan of her other work so when I got my hands on this I devoured it.

Colton and gia are amazing for each other. They help each other heal and get past their hang ups.

I was gifted this arc for an honest review
