Review: "Infinity" by Sedona Venez
Infinity
(Valkyries: Soaring Raven #1)
by: Sedona Venez
Publishing Date: 1/15/13
Publisher: One Wish Publishing
Genre: New Adult Paranormal Romance
Source: Provided for Blog Tour
Description:
Infinity discovers a dark secret from her past that rocks everything she knows to be true.
A troubled 22-year-old superstar singer, Infinity has a bad reputation for drugs and hard partying. Now, she is on the road to a comeback with her controversial tour. But everything about doing the concert feels wrong from missing employees, to anonymous threats about ruining her career. She is dealing with a powerful corporation that is determined to kill her and everyone she loves. She is also battling for control of her life and career from a relationship that crossed the fine line between love and obsession. Infinity knows too much, even though she doesn't realize it. Secrets have been kept and these secrets are powerful enough to destroy her and everyone she loves.
Now she must put her safety and trust in the hands of sexy, tattooed and delicious Torch Channing and Boulder Vigari, hired to keep her from getting killed. Boulder wants to make her his. He won't stop until he claims her. Torch struggles with his primal need to possess her and his hatred of everything she represents.
Infinity is determined to protect her heart while dealing with the pressure of pulling off another successful tour without spiraling into another mental meltdown.
My Review:
Infinity is a book full of all kinds of paranormal creatures: Valkyries, shifters, vampires, witches, etc. Sedona Venez gives you a female character who is a megastar singer that has no clue on what is going on around her and what she is exactly. In fact, her mom, or otherwise guardian since her biological Mom passed away giving birth to her, is keeping the secret of what she is from her. Infinity has her friends to have her back and her over-protective brother, who really is not her brother. Ever since the war, everything has been controlled by the Collective.
She is thrown into chaos when she starts getting threatened by the Vampires...and she has no clue why. They keep telling her to cancel her concert that she is doing...but she has her own plans.
Her world is about to crash down hard and the ones she thought she could trust...are the ones who kept secrets from her.
This book was definitely different from what I am used to reading for paranormal romance and I have never read a paranormal romance that had new adult elements to it. It was definitely different and was not what I was expecting. I liked the world building and finding out at the end what Infinity exactly was. I also enjoyed the Security team that took over to protect Infinity on what was going on. (They were described as Vikings...first thing that came to my mind was the show Vikings and how they are very sexy, and muscular...and well I could go on and on).
Some things that I did not like was actually sometimes Infinity got on my nerves, but she grew on me towards the end. She was clueless on what was going on, so I am thinking that is the main reason why I did not like her at first.
I did have a very hard time getting into the book at first, but when it got to the nitty gritty stuff, I was intrigued. In particular, the scene in the bathroom where Infinity is faced with a otherworld creature that she had no clue was targeting her.
I did like getting different points of views from different characters in the story...for example, you get to be in Torch's head before (He's a part of the Security detail). I definitely enjoyed him...although, he was a jerk at times, but he had his reasons.
This book definitely is not a book I usually read, but it definitely kept me interested when everything came together and that cliffhanger...let's just say I need to know what happens now. I feel sorry for Infinity and she has no clue on what is going on. The poor girl.
I give this book 3.5 moons and recommend it to readers that enjoy a story that has all kinds of paranormal creatures in it and loves a book that puts them through the ringer. Be prepared, Sedona leaves you hanging at the end. If you are like me, you will definitely be on pins and needles waiting.
I need some more of Boulder and Torch...those two definitely kept me interested. *sigh*
I was provided a complimentary copy of the book for the blog tour in exchange for an honest review. This review is my own opinion and I was not compensated at all for this review.
