Touched By Darkness – An Urban Fantasy Romance (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

She Had to Embrace the Darkness to See the Light~ Touched by Darkness was my first read from Author Catherine Spangler. I am passionate for the Paranormal and this one was very different from the usual read.Kara is such a strong women and had to live a life she did sign up for; one who married a Sentinel, watched him die, has a young son who has inherited his father’s gift, and falls in love with another powerful Sentinel. A Sentinel is a being from another realm, (Atlantis) and reborn to save the planet from evil,and evil comes to their small town in Texas. Kara is a full time mom, but knows she controls the real powers for a Sentinel to help them channel their gifts. When Damien walks into her life he not only is there to protect her son from an evil race that inhabits bodies, but needs her in order to enhance his sixth sense.I have to say the lovemaking scenes were brilliant between these two light workers. Oh yes, the sparks did fly! What I loved about this book was the spiritual side betweenKara and Damien, not to mention a strong power inside a small child.I am now a huge Catherine Spangler fan. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series. Supernatural beings that aren’t werewolves, witches or vampires? That’s what you get with this book. It’s part one of a trilogy about a group of beings named Sentinels, reincarnated from Atlantis, by way of another galaxy. Sentinels are tasked with killing the evil beings from their world, called Belial. Since it’s an older book(although a re-release I think), it may not be a new read for you, but once I found it, bought it and started it, I read it non-stop and totally enjoyed myself along the way. It was a one day read for me this week.The story centers around Kara, a doctor with a young son, Alex. She has moved to a small town in hopes that she can escape the supernatural nightmare of six years before. Alex’s father, a Sentinel, was killed right in front of her by a Belial. After his death, she runs when she finds herself pregnant. She doesn’t want her child to be touched by the world of his father, but that’s all about to change, as Alex is coming into some of his powers. Damian is a Sentinel and he is chasing a Belial that he believes is living in the same town as Kara. Since Belial’s take over bodies, everyone in town in suspect-especially the weak or the sick. He is shocked to realize that Kara is a conductor and a match to help him to do his work. But he is more surprised that Alex’s power is unprotected and transmitting loudly for any Belial to hear.This ended up being a really good romance and actually a who done it. We meet all sorts of the towns people, and I never figured out who the Belial was. The way a Belial receives energy is by killing people, so they are pretty much psychopaths. There are several murders and lots of suspects. It’s up to Kara and Damian to save the day. Did I mention that conductors and Sentinels work best while having sex? Oh yes. So there are some pretty steamy scenes involved and they were very well written, as is this whole book. The characters were interesting and each had an intriguing back story.I really liked the story, the characters and the mystery. The premise is different then the usual paranormal romance and I totally was on board for that! This is the first book by this author that I have read, and I will definitely be buying the next book in the series soon.(RabidReads.com)

What do You think about Touched By Darkness – An Urban Fantasy Romance (2013)?

Nice Atlantis twist. Hope the rest of the series is just as mysterious and adventurous.
