Lillyanna-Marie Dawson is the only one of her kind—a strong elemental witch who is able to control all four elements, as well as anything living. Forced to flee from the only place she could call home, she trespasses on a land full of creatures only myths spoke about—one full of vampires, wolves and hybrids of her own kind, including her best friend, Jack. At first glance, a deep attraction draws them together, but when she finds out the true potential his touch holds, she forces her feelings for him down and concentrates on keeping everyone safe from the Undead witches, and Resdyn— a cursed man who created them. When the Undead attack, and Lillyanna is captured, she must keep Resdyn from taking her powers and destroying everything before she can be rescued but when she unleashes her true power, it’s she who must be stopped. Will she survive or will her powers kill her first?
Natalie is a talkative, hyperactive writer of Erotic Vampire Paranormal Romance books, with a love of reading and writing. She loves listening to loud rock/hardcore music while she writes. Natalie wasn't always a lover of books, but more an animal person then. She went to University of Lincoln, Riseholme College, where she studied an animal course for two years. It was only when she saw J.K Rowling's, Harry Potter books that she started reading. Natalie is a true believer of all things supernatural, and hopes that one day, she'll have the pleasure of meeting one.
I absolutely LOVED this book from start to finish it had me hanging off the edge of my chair especially Lilly's relationships with Conner and Jack. I couldn't wait to get to the end to see what happened the chemistry between all of the characters is brilliant and I'm glad I got the ending that I wanted. It also helped that this book covered everything a great book should have in it wolves vampires witches and magic it's definitely up there with other Paranormal Authors Well done to Natalie for writing a fantastic book and I look forward to reading more books from her soon. This book is well worth a read to anybody who likes the Paranormal scene. Lucky for me I recieved an ARC copy from Natalie so thank you very much for that :D
This thrilling paranormal book following Lillyanna, an elemental witch with incredible powers, is all kinds of crazy - good crazy! When Lillyanna is reunited with her long ago best friend, Jack, things just get more insane. Lilly joins Jack and a whole cast of his friends to battle Resdyn, a power hungry killer, to save witches, vampires and humans. Can they conquer his curse before it's too late?
I loved the fast-paced action in this book and the mixed elements of paranormal. There was everything from vamps to wolves, dream leapers to psychics. Rarely do I read a book that can capture so many unique characters so well. The extra added spice thrown in didn't hurt either! Great read!
This is one of those books that gets better as the story continues and grabs you and draws you right in to the action.
And this is an action packed story one of the things I love about Natalie and her writing is she writes bloody good fight scenes and I always find myself picturing them in my head and shouting at my kindle for the characters to kick some ass.
Another thing this Author does which I love is the way she write her main female character and that is strong and kick ass.
I loved Lillyanna you instantly like her and when she finds herself face to face with her best friend Jack who she hasn't seen for a while. well you can feel the attraction between them even if she does let anger get in the way. And it does lead to some pretty hot sex between them but it does take something to happen for that to go in their favour because of their powers.
With the threat from the evil Resdyn and the undead Lillyanna has to fight to kill them but also fight herself to gain control of her powers. And I loved this scene
I enjoyed the angst between Conner and Jack hey nothing wrong with having two men show feelings towards you. The side characters are all great to you warm to them all and I hope if there is another book we get to learn more about Malcolm he intrigued me as did the others.
If you love Vampire, Witches and other beings with that good versus evil element and oh don't forget the Loving then this is a must read.
So glad I had this incredible chance to read True Power by Natalie Hancock. The first in a series of Hidden Power Novels, Natalie takes on an exciting adventure. Being taken into her world of paranormal characters was hypnotizing. I never knew the number and different kinds of powers witches possessed. From being able to control the elements to controlling minds. The main character is forced to face the magnitude of her powers in order for her to save her friends and humanity. She is not alone in her challenge and has many allies that fight with her to defeat this evil power. Along with witches of differing powers, we are also treated to a cast of vampires, werewolves and even hybrids as well as "the undead". I loved watching how the books love triangle plays out and how our heroine comes to terms with the love she thought deserted her. Despite their difference and negative feelings between the different groups,the characters must find a way to combine their powers and strengths against the evil that threatens them, This book is a page turner that I was able to read within 24 hours. It had all the great elements of romance, sexy love scenes, suspense, adventure and a fresh new look Into the paranormal world that Natalie Hancock has created. I am so glad that this book is part of a series, and I can't wait to read the next book.
I loved this book! I read everyday, some books seem to be predictable, not this one!!! It has something in it for everyone who like paranormal books. The main character is witch who controls all of the elements and anything living but is unaware of her true powers and is afraid to test her control. She feels betrayed by her best friend bc he's known all along exactly what she was and never told her. She goes through a gauntlet of emotion that's tests her and her level of control with her new group of friends all while having to choose between two men, one who understands her feelings and can calm her down and the other who heats her blood, her body and used to have her love. She now has to decide between a new guy or her best friend while she saves all mankind. The only thing I complain about with books that get your attention and draws you into the story and characters is when they read fast and leave you wanting more. This book does exactly that but I'm thrilled that this is part of a series so I'll get exactly that, more! Definitely recommend for someone who wants a grab you and pull you in book
REVIEW What can I say about True Power by Natalie Hancock
I enjoyed this book so much it was hard to put it down. Lillyanna is a Elemental Witch who has extreme powers and she has a hard time controlling those powers. She teams up with a force of others who have various powers as well and they all go up against Resdyn who is cursed and has an army of undead. Among these new friends she is reunited with her best friend Jack. However things arent as they were. She finds control in the arms of Connor . But is that who her heart longs for? If you want Action and Hot Romance and various paranormal beings .Then this is the book for you. It was Fantastic !!! I cant wait to read the next book..
I give this book 5 stars.. Anything that can keep my attention to where I read the entire book in a day can only be GREAT !!!!
Review copy provided by: ARC provided by Author for my Honest Review
Lately, I've felt as though the number of really good, attention grabbing books have been non-existent. I have bought book after book with no such luck. I would read a chapter and put it down. A book has to capture my attention, it has to keep me wanting to read. True Power did that and more. It was action packed from the first page, I finished it within a few hours. Never putting it down. I love romance and action in a book. And when you mix that combo with these awesomely created characters, how could it not be a great read? Also, not to pick sides or anything, but Conner has his own team now. Team Conner!!!
*Note- I originally gave this book a four and a half stars. But since Good reads wouldn't allow that I gave four. But it definitely deserves that extra half. Read on book lovers, this will be a book your sure to enjoy.
True Power has the power to captivate your full attention. Its a novel that will get you hooked with supernaturals, magic, action and romance. The characters are admirable and heroic, meeting what ever is thrown at them head on. You know its going to be a good story when the opening sequence is the main character Lillyana, waking up to find her bedroom covered in flames. Shes on the run from those that hunt her and finds safety in an unexpected place. If Lillyana can learn to trust in her powers and her self things might not be so bad, but given past experiences thats a big IF.
I literally blazed through this in a couple of hours. My only regret is that the story wasn't longer, that i couldn't take more time to savor each moment and learn more about the behind the scenes and inbetween. Bring on book number 2
I really liked this. While I am a fan of Ms. Hancock's previous works regarding Vampires, Dhampires and the like, this one was a bit different. With creatures ranging from vampires to spirit elementals, there is a bit of something for everyone who likes the paranormal genre. Lillianna finds out her friends' secrets along with her own, and they're not all bad. From the first sentence there is action, and friendship, romance follow soon after. A fun read :)
I Loved this book ! Lilly / Connor WOW seriously fast movers there but Lilly / Jack I loved their story past and present and also got the outcome I was hoping for ! Fast paced and action packed ! Not a dull moment ! Everything is explained and you are not left wondering WTF ! A great mix of paranormal ! Vamps wolves witches dream walkers Undead ( new but good ) psychics !! Awesome Job Natalie !!!! I'd love to read more about the other characters !!! Cannot wait for the second instalment
WOW.......... Absolutley love this book.First and foremost I want to give Natalie Hancock props for not ending the book with a cliffhanger. The story and characters alone have left me eagerly awaiting the next book! It has everything witches, vampires, werewolves, reaper.....This book is faced past from page one and does not stop! I also like how the erotic parts of the story in no way define the book...it would still hold it own without. Would and have recommened this!
To be honest, I was a bit lost at the beginning of this book. The more I read, the more intrigued I got! What an amazingly original plot! Lillyanna is an elemental witch who is able to control all 4 elements. She is unwilling to tap into her full power for fear she won't be able to control it. When faced with the choice between the total destruction of all she loves or facing her fears, she chooses...not going to tell you! Get the book and enjoy the ride!
This book was fantastic. I was so caught up in it I read the whole thing this morning. I really liked how strong Lillyanna is and how she took control of the situations she was in, if it was dealing with her best friend Jack or her powers she was learning to deal with. I can't wait for the next one and to learn more about the other people she met. Malcolm and Connor intrigue me, they are a mystery that I can't wait to solve.
I read voraciously and I must say that True Power held my attention from beginning to end! There was no putting it down, or turning off of PC! I was vested in the characters and I want more!!!!!! A Fast-paced, action packed story of long lost loves, betrayals(real and imagined),Natalie Hancock writes it all! You won't be disappointed! Pick up your copy now!!!!
Wow!! Just finished reading True Power, it was a great read!! Such a page turner from the start to the end. If you love paranormal books this book would be a great choice to read. There's witches, vampires werewolves and many more....
I soo loved this book!! Natalie grabs you from the very first page and keeps you till the very last word! Her characters are wonderfully complex and the storyline is fast paced and exciting! I look forward with baited breath for much more from this series!
