Kerrigan Cruz and Dominic Grayson thought the worst of the storm was behind them. In reality, they have only weathered impossible odds to find they are smack dab in the eye of an unforgiving cyclone. More is on the way. The raging bands of chaos that surrounds them are forcing the destructive walls of the monster to close in around them. Taking on a life of its own, the storm growls and gnashes its teeth, threatening to devour everything they ever were or ever will be. There will be nothing but devastation left in its wake, and it sets its sights on Kerrigan and Dominic.

Through the howling winds and punishing lashes of rain, a stranger comes. The promise of a better tomorrow, a brighter, sunnier life filled with hopes and dreams rests in the palm of his hand. It is knowledge, a formidable weapon when wielded by the right person at just the right time. If she can only harness the power of this stranger’s knowledge, Kerrigan may be able to save the one she loves before he fades into nothingness, and she is left all alone.

But is this stranger friend or foe? Drawn to her side by an unseen force, will he enlighten Kerrigan or will he seek to claim her for his own?

Cataclysm:
Through the darkness of night, Light will lead the way.

C.L. Parker

C. L. Parker is a romance author who writes stories that sizzle. She’s a small-town girl with big-city dreams and enough tenacity to see them come to fruition. Having been the outgoing sort for all her life—which translates to “she just wouldn’t shut the hell up”—it’s no wonder Parker eventually turned to writing as a way to let her voice, and those of the people living inside her head, be heard. She loves hard, laughs until it hurts, and lives like there’s no tomorrow. In her world, everything truly does happen for a reason.

Let me start by saying that C.L. put her heart and soul into this book. I know this because it's reflected through her writing, and anyone that puts that much effort into their work is going to have an amazing outcome! And did she ever have a great outcome.

I loved Supernova, I really truly did, but Cataclysm...wow! Adequate words fail me for this sequel, but I'm going to try to give this story a proper review anyway. I loved that C.L. went into more detail about Kerrigan's gift. I understood her purpose more, and I think her ability is extremely unique. She's such a strong character, especially in this sequel, and she has really come into her own. Although Dominic will always protect her, Kerrigan is definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Dominic... oh my, Dominic. Sexy much? But it's not just that, his aggressiveness, and his need to protect those that he loves is fierce. I knew from Supernova that he was a bad ass, but C.L. really brought his protective side out in Cataclysm. Not only did we get to see just how strong Dominic is, but we also got to see a side of him that wasn't there, or was hiding in Supernova: vulnerability. And a vulnerable bad ass that loves hard and fierce is just...hot! The relationship between him and Kerrigan is real. You can feel how much these two love each other, and to me, that's a really important factor in any kind of romance. If you don't feel the love the two main characters are supposed to be feeling, or if it starts too soon with no build up, it's not believable. C.L. did a fantastic job with their relationship.

*Spoiler Alert* I was semi-scared when Drew came into the picture. I thought for sure there was going to be a triangle, and I hate triangles; however, C.L. did not disappoint me. Kerrigan was always true to her man, and I found myself really liking Drew's character. Just like Dominic, he's loyal to those he cares about, and extremely protective.

And Gabe...I have never before wanted to take a character from a book and put him into my life, but I do with Gabe. Every girl deserves to have a Gabe in their life, and because of C.L. giving him life on the pages of a book, we can. *Spoiler Alert* And I'm so glad he found his man in this one. I was so excited for him!

There are so many aspects to this book that I could comment on, but I fear I would wind up doing a play-by-play, and anyone who hasn't read this will not want that; however, I will say this...Cataclysm was well worth the wait. It's beautiful, sexy, sad, and sweet. The characters are relatable, lovable, real, and a whole lot of fun. I really enjoyed this book, and I hope everyone reading this will look at this review and give Cataclysm a try. I promise that you will not be disappointed.

See this review and more like it on my site, www.ufreviews.com

This book came to me as part of a book tour, which I love. Promoting authors new works is probably one of my favorite things to do. However, this is book 2 of the series, so I wanted to read the first book, Supernova, first. I would recommend the first book, because it's a fantastic read much like this book.


The first think I want to mention about Parker's writing is that it's super easy to read. You sit down with the book in hard, and your eyes just flow over the paper (or screen for my case). Before you even realize it you're sucked into the plot and the characters. It's almost like the writing is effortless, but still smart.


I must also say that I liked reading and experiencing life with these characters. And more over what I enjoyed was that these characters weren't stagnant. When you meet Kerrigan in the first book, she hadn't quite grown into herself yet, her life had mostly been controlled or guided one way or the other. Book one she really grows into herself as a character as well as becoming a Guardian of the Light. In book two she is able to really understand more about herself and abilities, so the reader is really able to follow along with her and her journey. The Kerrigan that Parker created is not just some girl riding the wave of a plot, but rather a character who has depth that just increases as the story goes on.


I'm fairly certain everyone who reads these books is going to be happy when they get to the romance department. And the one thing I appreciate about Parker, much like her character development is also her relationship development. She doesn't just have two characters suddenly like each other and jump into bed, it took time to build up Kerrigan and Dominic as characters and as people heading down a romance road. Although most of the build up is in Supernova, it still read as two people organically reaching the next part of the relationship. There is a lot more romance in this book than the previous, or rather it is more hot action in it compared to the first.


The one bone I have to pick with this book is that I missed Gabe. Gabe was one of my favorite characters in the first book, he reminded me of my best friend in high school. The guy who was unafraid to say anything that came into his head, and was assured of himself, as well as being a good friend to Kerrigan. I wish he had more of a role in this book.


Overall, I am going to say this is a good book, and a fun paranormal romance. This is definitely a read for people who like paranormal romance, and I think that most of us urban fantasy readers would like it as well.

I WANT NEXUS , BOOK 3 OF THE SUPERNOVA SERIES BY C.L PARKER RIGHT NOW !!!! Enough said ?! Well not quite really . OH MAN , i think this was even better than Supernova . The intensity , the thrill , the different emotions that this book puts you through , WOW !! Just so good .. Wow wow and so wow wow !! Lets get this show on the road , i mean this review on board .

Firstly , my thoughts on this cover : I had to love it !! Those sexy and intense eyes belongs to none other than Dominic !! The guy who manages to make my heart skip a beat ! Sounds wacko , but its true . I loved how C.L used the eyes of both her main characters for each of the book cover . Another point to be noted is that each of books i,e Supernova and Cataclysm focus on Kerrigan and Dominic respectively . We learnt a lot about Kerrigan's life and powers in Supernova , but for me Cataclysm was all about Dominic . His fears and insecurities being the prime point . Kerrigan was important too , actually more than important - but Dominic was ruling the roast for me throughout .

Cataclysm starts off 3 weeks later after the events of Supernova concluded . Now for those who still have to read Book 1 Supernova in this series , i cant possibly be giving away spoilers here . So i'm just gonna keep it simple . Where there is light , darkness follows . And where there is dark , light would always show up to kill darkness . This book is hugely based on this theory . How , When , Where, Why - for the answers to all these questions , reading Supernova and then this would be an excellent idea .

There were certain points that i would love to highlight about this book :
* The romance factor : Aw , Dominic and Kerrigan were the definite steam factors here . Where ' Torture through tease' was how i would describe them in book 1 , ' Oh so hot to handle ' could be the tag for their romance in book 2 . They just couldnt keep their hands off each other . The love that they share was also admirable . Kerrigan saw the goodness in Dominic and accepted him fully knowing his horrid past . And for Dominic , well he has given his soul to her . What more proof do we need to know and understand how much he loves her! Duh!
* Intense story line : Oh what a turn of events ! New character is introduced and not to forget that he brings in his own hotness . You'd think that this story is about battling one's personal demons , but hell no . Personal demons aside , there is a battle on the verge of breaking out . Battle between Light and dark , good and evil , angels and demons . I was like jaw dropped , when the events start unfolding as if you are right there . Phew !!
*I admired C.L Parkers view points on a lot things seen from this books perspective . Her thoughts on Lies , deception , secrets, love , loss , friendship had me brain-storming myself ... Especially the way chapter 3 began . It was a very important and crucial phase in the book , but her thoughts as seen by Kerrigans thoughts in the book really made me think if what i believed all along is true or not . Oh sooo good !
*Characters were really awesome yet again !! Gabe , my fav from book 1 is still the apple of my eye !! Oh he was sooo funny yet very serious and mature .. The new character , well apart from being super hot , he was also someone of a grave importance . Is he a friend or a foe , will he help or destroy whats already there - the answers to all these questions lies in Cataclysm !!
On the whole , i wanted to give it a 10 star rating ! This book is definitely one of my fav's and C.L Parker is now on my list of " Best Authors ever " . If you love angels , demons , black magic and dreams that kill , then i suggest you pick up your copy right now . This one surely will not disappoint .
But my review is'nt complete without a little Gabe-ism , so here goes :

Our Review [by Michelle L. Olson – LITERAL ADDICTION’s Pack Alpha]:
Let me start out by saying that C.L poured her visceral soul into Cataclsym and it was evident from the 1st page to the very last turn.
I have read A LOT of really good books lately; some funny, some dark, some action packed, some steamy… Cataclysm was all of the above and then some, and skyrocketed to the forefront of my favorite books ever list.
When I flipped the last page of this book, I had goosebumps for a good few minutes after. It was THAT good…
Like a brilliant author should, C.L had me feeling things during Cataclysm that I wasn’t prepared to feel. I fought it at times because I jus didn’t think I could change my mindset from where I was at following Supernova, but in the end she did her job. There were other moments where I went from a chuckle, to being utterly angry and frustrated a few pages later; mumbling like a mental patient, to being absolutely lost in the story with a dreamy look on my face a few chapters after that – it was a emotional rollercoaster of epic proportions and I loved every second of the ride.
Outside of the emotions elicited during Cataclysm, the character dynamic was incredible and the world building superb. Surprises, secrets, and mystery around every turn, all tied up beautifully with characters you can’t help but relate to, in a supernatural world that is well… believably natural.
I really wish I could tell you more about this amazing book, but there was so much that happened that I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. I will simply say that you MUST read this series, and get to Cataclysm as fast as you can.

LITERAL ADDICTION gives Cataclysm 5 Skulls (would give it more if there were more to give), and would recommend it anyone and everyone who wants a beautifully written Paranormal Romance with enough darkness to keep Urban Fantasy lovers happy as well.

In my review of Supernova, I said that I had a feeling that C.L would change my mind with Cataclysm and make me give it more than the 4 Skulls I gave Supernova. Boy did she ever! Way to go C.L. LOVED this book! Bring on Nexus.

Cataclysm is the second novel in the supernova Saga by C.L. Parker. I definitely recommend reading the first book first although, the second works fine as a stand alone. I found this story extremely engaging and a fast paced read. The relationship between Kerrigan and Dominic is taken to the next level in this second installment. Overall, I really enjoyed the growth of their relationship from the 1st book to the 2nd, it was refreshing take. In this book we get a lot more information about Kerrigan and her gift (she is a guardian of the light). Gabe is my favorite character, he's the best friend every girl should have! I found him extremely lovable. I also really loved Dominic he is fierce, loyal and super sexy, he makes the perfect love interest. Parker really did a fantastic job with this story and I look forward to what comes next. I highly recommend this novel if you're a lover of fantasy and paranormal romances!

Just finished reading and I am floored by the ending, as I am sure everyone who reads it will be. C.L has written a lovely series and it is a wonderful read. There are quite a few twist and turns at the end. And quite the surprise with a couple of characters that I did not see coming. Heck with a lot of them, now that I think about it. Dominic and Kerrigan turn up the heat in this book and I am happy that C.L did not listen to her Mother in this one. One HAWT read. Whew.. you will find yourself coming up for air. FOR SURE. And Gabe has all his best insults. Love him. So cute. There is a new character who I absolutely loved and I hope he is sticking around for the next installment.
Can't wait.

As Dominic and Kerrigan's struggles come to a head, many things come to Light.

New friends are made, enemies have a change of heart. Powers are strengthened.

Another great read by C. L. Parker. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5, was

the point of view changes was confusing at times and would take a second to

adjust to.

I'll say it again; CL Parker is a freakin awesome author!! I am so glad I joined a local book club and was introduced to her work. This is the second story of the keeper of the light. She has to save her love as he slowly fades away. The story is so gripping. I could hardly put this book down. If you are a fan of paranormal or romance, you will really love this book!! I can't wait to read the third and final book in this series.

Cataclysm is the incredibly steamy second installment of the Supernova Saga where readers are provided answers to some of their questions from book one, and shown some surprisingly different sides to the characters they met in Supernova.

In Cataclysm the mystery of Kerrigan’s gift is explained in much greater detail and readers learn alongside her as she discovers how to harness her powers as a Guardian of the Light. She uses this power to fight the evil that is stalking the man she loves and his family. It was really interesting to see how various characters became entangled in this fight and how easy it was for the lines between good and evil to become blurred. In this way, even though Cataclysm is a paranormal romance, many real life emotions and scenarios were explored and it made the characters feel relevant and relatable.

And do you mind if we talk about romance for a second because when I said steamy, I really meant steamy. Where Supernova was full of flirting and quite a bit of sexual tension between Kerrigan and Dominic, Cataclysm certainly gave readers what they were looking for in terms of resolution! As Parker said in her guest post on Hands and Home “I hope it’s so sexy that it makes you want to rip off your clothes and jump into a cold shower” and I think I speak for everyone when I say – she achieved what she was going for! I love the direction that Parker is taking Kerrigan and Dominic’s characters and while at times I found his possessive nature towards his girlfriend to be frustrating, given his history I got it. I am really excited to see where these characters go in the third book of the series because it can tell, it’s not over yet!

I also really love the secondary characters in this series. The development of Sinclair’s character was interesting and I never expected to find that she had a genuine human side to her! Towards the end of the novel I started to view her in a different light and that turned my perception of the entire storyline on its head. As always I loved Gabe and his antics and without giving any spoilers I will tell you that there is a fantastic twist that will make you happy if you are a fan of his! I do wish that there was more of Gabe, Olivia, Sydney and the twins though. I found that they added so much to the story in Supernova that I missed them a little bit in Cataclysm. Sure they were there, and played some great roles but I hope that they make more of an appearance in the final book of the series.

Cataclysm is an excellent continuation of the story that Parker set up in Supernova. Her characters are fantastically explored and the novel is full of excitement, mystery, a little bit of hilarious comic relief and tones of toe curling sexiness! If you love a good paranormal romance than the Supernova Saga is definitely for you! And you will also be happy to know that book #3 is scheduled to be released in the Fall of 2012!

Prude Filter: Due to graphic adult content I would recommend this book for readers 18+

I received an E-ARC of Cataclysm from TWCS Publishing House (thank you!!!) in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I have read the first book of this saga, Supernova. And this is a book that MUST be read in order. There are building blocks to this story-and one cannot skip ahead without becoming totally lost.

Synopsis:
Kerrigan and Dominic have fought one battle, but the war is just beginning.

Secrets that are revealed at the end of Supernova begin the journey of Cataclysm. So if you haven't read it, you might want to skip this review.

In the aftermath of Sinclair's attempt to claim Dominic's soul--Kerrigan and Dom are still left with things unsolved. Dom still remains a ghost-half a man-and struggles with the demons of his past.

This book is mainly Dom's story-how he strives to put the wrongs of his life to right.
Kerrigan learns to develop her gift-as a new Guardian of the Light is introduced-and Dom's brother finds that he is not safe from the haunting dreams that star his evil father--

Drake.

You can tell immediately that this author is growing-HAS GROWN--by leaps and bounds. The writing is tight, descriptive, and flows from one chaotic dillema to the next.

What I loved about it:
It is a visual painting to the reader. I could actually feel, hear, see certain scenes with such vivid clarity.
Dominic's demonic past swirls around him, cascading him in fear, doubt-he is a haunted man drowning in the sins of his past---And C.L. captures those emotions with a dramatic punch and brutal honesty. I love that about her writing.

What I didn't like:
Honestly, there wasn't much. However, I felt short-changed in the scene at the cemetary with Sinclair. I can't explain it, but I plan to re-read that scene. The way the story had progressed up until that point at such a brisk pace-- I had felt I had been on a roller coaster. So maybe, I was in need of a breather. I felt it was missing something.
But, the author picked it back up with the climax of the scene--and WHAM, BAM--threw in a few surprises that I didn't see coming.

C.L. has a talent to craft her story with vivid,bright, descriptions and has cleverly twisted a tale that I want to continue to read.
There is only one more story to this saga--Nexus--and I can't wait.

I'd like to thank the publisher for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. Cataclysm is the second book in the Supernova series by C.L. Parker. I reviewed the first book, Supernova earlier this year. I could paste and copy that review right here and it would stand for both books. C.L. Parker did a great job with her novel, hitting just the right notes of romance, supernatural, thriller, and humor.

I didn't think it was possible, but the characters were even more vivid in Cataclysm. Even the secondary characters sparkled with life. The bantering between them was hysterical, and the obvious care, protectiveness, and love they had for each other was a joy to read.

As for the romance, do you like it hot and steamy? And lots of it? Kerrigan and Dominic provide all you could want. Just one look between them raises the temperature in the room by a couple degrees! It's fairly explicit, so be prepared. It had me blushing!

The story moves smoothly at a good pace. It kept my attention the whole way through. I read it in two sessions (only because I fell asleep at 2am during the first reading). Cataclysm is a great supernatural romance for adults. Make sure you read them both, and let's hope for a third in the series!

This book is awesome! It picks right up where Supernova left off. In my opinion,Parker has shown an extreme talent to convey to the reader the passion that she has for her characters and their story. You feel like you're right there with them. With both Supernova and Cataclysm I never had a boring moment. There is something going on on every page. As good as I thought Supernova is, I think Cataclysm is even better. There are some hot scenes between Dominic and Kerrigan which I think readers really wanted more of in Supernova but are finally going to get what they want in Cataclysm. There were times when I wished so much that I could take the characters into my arms and comfort them. I think this series is one of the best that I've ever read. I know we will hear more from her a she is a great author!!

I read this without having previously read Supernova, but loved it so much I have made sure to get a copy of the first book. I don't think reading it out of order mattered too much. This is just fine as a stand-alone story and events from the previous book are recapped nicely.

Parker has created a fascinating and very smexy group of characters, including a ghost, guardians, angels and demons, and one of the funniest gay best friends ever. I loved Gabe - he reminded me of Lafayette from True Blood - and his interactions with Colton are just priceless. I may never be able to hear the name Ralph again without giggling!

I was initially suspicious of handsome Englishman Drew, but came to love him, despite his taste in demons. The big climax at the end is satisfying and gripping, and enough of a puzzle is left for a third book, due out next year. I, for one, will definitely be reading it.

Cataclysm picks up right where Supernova left off. Kerrigan has a secret she is keeping from everyone, including Dom. The secret will come out and everyone will be at war, and on sides. Dominic is still struggling with his "ghost" form when midnight strikes, but now it's getting worse. Will he eventually be a ghost forever, never to return to human form? A big revelation is reveled to who Dom's parents really are, you will be surprised. I was sad for Kerrigan and the relationship, there is a lot of ups and down they have to work through. Kerrigan will soon face a question, will she give up her light for the love of her life/her soul mate, and can she save him? All the questions are soon answered. Cataclysm is a great read and it answers a lot of questions you may have from reading Supernova and it also revels a lot you most likely didn't even think to ask.

Cataclysm the 2nd book in the Supernova Saga hits a homerun. CL Parker pulls you in on the first page, doesn't let you go and leaves you wanting more. The characters in this story are very well developed and realistic. Kerrigan & Dominic's relationship will leave you breathless. Kerrigan's best friend Gabe is absolutely laugh out loud loveable. It was wonderful to see how the characters developed from the first book. CL combines romance, sex, jealousy, anger, fear and a host of other delicious emotions into a story that leaves you on the edge of your seat. The next installment can NOT get here soon enough.

First let me just say that CL Parker put her heart and soul into this book! I felt that as read this book.

I can't wait for the final book in the series. It makes me sad that it is ended but, I need to see what just happened to Kerrigan and Dominic!

My Review:
I am going to start this review out like my review of Supernova, but with one thing different, there is two things on this one that I had an issue on. For one, it took me a little to really get into the book for some reason. But about a 1/3rd of the way in I was hooked again. The second thing again was the language. May not both you or other readers, but foul language can turn me off of a book. But luckily, I love author C. L. Parkers writing.

Author C. L. Parker's writing is very strong and has a way of for the most part pulling you right into the characters life's.

Kerrigan and Dominic's struggles seem to keep getting worse. She is trying to still understand her powers and her feelings as well. And it is all she can do to keep things up right. Dominic is fading, how is it all going to end.

Then in the middle of this a stranger comes on the scene. Is he going to really help or is he there to stir the pot so to speak.

I love how author C. L. Parker's characters stand out. How even though they are in the paranormal realm so to speak, author C. L. Parker has them so down to earth that you are right there in the home or else where with them.

I am not going any furthor with this review due to not wanting to give away any thing. Just know that I have enjoyed both the first and this second book in the Supernova Saga by Author C. L. Parker.


So due to the above I am giving this book a Breath of Life Rating of:

Four Clock Rating!!!

Disclosure: I received this book in exchange for my review. The opinions are mine. And your opinion may differ.

Brought to you by OBS reviewer Autumn

Kerrigan’s grandmother always told her that there were more Guardians out there. She has never encountered one – until now…

The minute she encounters Andrew Dickens on the beach she knows what he is. She is both fascinated by him and drawn to his light. He vows to help train her for the battle to come. She knows that she will need his help to shelter her love, Dominic and his brother, Colton, from their father and his evil coven.

Andrew is an unknown variable. He believes that Kerrigan may very well be his soul mate and is determined to find out. Showing her how to wield her power may lead her to him but can he overcome her love for Dominic and are his intentions as pure as they seem to be?

Dominic is slowly fading – literally. His nights are still spent as an apparition and those are coming to an end. His father is draining his life force by invading his dreams nightly and threatening what he holds most dear – Kerrigan and his younger brother. He is trying to hold on but can Kerrigan help him in time and does his vision of their future reveal the victory of the light or the coming of the darkness?

Cataclysm is the second book in the Supernova Saga and it takes us deeper into the story and the characters. C.L. Parker has her own brand of paranormal romance – swoony heroes, laugh out loud humor and edge of your seat angst. I devoured this book and am so looking forward to the final installment, Nexus. After all, the Supernova Saga just keeps getting better.

Oh, my ... where to start? I loved Supernova, this is true, but Cataclysm was just so much more of everything I adored about the first book. This author's writing seems to grow with every word she puts on the page.

We got a new character to add to the cast of deliciousness, Andrew (Drew) Dickens, and boy did his presence ever ruffle the feathers of our one true hero, Dominic Grayson. The jealousy and competition for Kerrigan's affections sort of made me hate her. Imagine, having two drop dead gorgeous men vying for your attention, both of them being the good guy. Most of us never get that once in our lives, let alone twice and at the same time. Whatever is a girl to do?

So here's the deal: Kerrigan must find a way to save Dominic, and Drew is just the man to help her do that.

Sinclair really threw me for a loop on this one. She's the woman we all love to hate, and I never thought I'd get over that, but Parker made me actually like her by the end. Just goes to prove that regardless of how we see people on the outside, we never really know what they've had to endure in their life and how that might have shaped them in the present. Sinclair was a victim just as much as Dominic, and I was glad to her redeem herself.

Cliff hanger alert! Yes, we have one at the end of this book. Parker leaves you wondering whether Kerrigan and Dominic will overcome the obstacles thrown their way - whether the secret Kerrigan is carrying around survives, but it's beautifully written. The revelation at the end of this book is simply magical.

On to Nexus!

Alright, first off I want to say that I really loved reading this book and anything by C.L. Parker she is one of my favorite authors and has been for a long time. But, Cataclysm took me a bit to get into and I'm not sure why. It starts off with a bang, totally sexy times and everything, but once I got into this book it pulled me in and held me hostage till I was done with the very last word.

I love the style in which C.L. Parker writes, it is all her own, I think that's the main reason why I love her books, they aren't like anything I've ever read. Cataclysm is defiantly different. There are moments in this book where I was screaming at the characters and wanting to put the book down, but so drawn into the story and into the characters life's that I couldn't stop reading. I just had to know what was going to happen next.

Cataclysm is a great sequel to this series of books. I don't want to give to much away, but I must say I love the character of Dominic Grayson. He's so hot and totally makes this book steamy! Also I have to say this the character, Gabe, totally cracks me up. I love reading his lines over and over in this book and well the whole series so far.

With all this being said, Cataclysm is a definate must read for anyone that loves C.L Parker's books.

Faced with an evil that just won’t quit, Dominic, Kerrigan and their group of friends are bombarded with new challenges and find themselves pitted to dodge fresh obstacles.

Unable to keep his younger brother, Colton, out of harms way, Dominic must find a way to keep him safe from harm. It’s a battle of wills, as Colton, who works on sound logic and reasoning, doesn’t latch onto the mystical aspects of Dominic’s life as easily. This leaves him exposed and vulnerable to the unknown. On top of that, Kerrigan and Dominic must learn to navigate the burgeoning passion in their lives for one another, while the evil that lurks and even benevolent forces threaten to use it against them.

Ladled with dark seduction, heroism and a dash of humor, Cataclysm marches Dominic and Kerrigan forward into the greatest battles they have yet to face. Will their journey as a couple tear them apart or bind them inexplicably? The truth about their past and the scope of their futures become revealed as intertwined and bound together by threads of both light and dark.

As puzzle pieces fall where they belong to “as normal as their abnormally exceptional lives allow them to be,” our band of misfit friends will forge unlikely alliances and make big sacrifices for the pursuit of love and the Light.

Book 2 starts off with mouthwatering desires, just where the last book ended. Took me a little while to get caught back into the story line since it had been awhile and many stories between Supernova and Cataclysm.

I sighed, I drooled, I even laughed out loud causing hubs to quirk an eye at me.

This book offers twists and turns and love that knows no bounds. It has moments that had me saying no.. no.. no and moments that had me saying more.. more.. more.

The author has a creative and unique way of luring you into the characters world. To feel what they feel and I love that in an author.

There is so much more I would love to say, but I struggle to keep this spoiler-free.

Book 2 of the Supernova Saga proved one thing. WE NEED BOOK 3!

OH...don't forget the two outtakes to this story at the author's website. She claims they are outtakes....I claim they should have been in the book. :-)

After Supernova I had high hopes for the rest of the series and CL didn't disappoint in the slightest!

I love Dominic and Kerrigan together, they aren't perfect by any means but they are perfect for each other! I loved the way they both characters where developed, both individually and together as a couple. The new additions fit in perectly, I was firmly in Dom's corner when it came to Drew - CL surprised me with that story thread, in fact there was more than one surprise for me throughout the book. I feel as if all the plot threads are starting to tie up nicely and I can't wait for the next installment to find out what happens next.

The ending stunned me and I am so glad that I can dive right into Nexus right away!

not as good as the 1st one and situations between any characters introduced were just too conveniently resolved. (i.e. drew, sinclair, sarah, colton, gabe, lucy, etc.). i don't like when things just work out so nicely for everyone and every character falls in love. life isn't like that. this book was disappointing. the villain wasn't even that bad. 2.5-3 stars.
