Two days ago, Jo Davids was a waitress by night and a college kid by day, with the unnerving problem of objects floating around her.
One Day ago, Jo's sexy boss, Cormac, noticed her for all the wrong reasons when she witnessed a man transform into a monster in the basement of his casino.
Today, Cormac ordered her shot.
If he's real lucky, she won't die. Because if she does, all hope is lost.
Keepers and Killers
It's very hard to work with someone who tried to murder me. But when the mysterious senator reappears on the scene, I'm desperate enough to take whatever help I can get, even if it is from Cormac. Dealing with him is nothing compared to losing a few hundred lives and that's the best case scenario. Worst case? I lose them all.
Shattered
I thought I could be a hero. That was before I helped destroy the world. Now, as I stand among the rubble of what used to be, I wonder how we're ever going to pick up the pieces.
Everyday is a struggle, and people are getting desperate. Creatures that never should have existed are picking away at the dwindling numbers of the human race. And the knowledge that could be our salvation lies with the senator who reigns supreme on the other half of the globe.
Redemption
Up until now, I've done everything wrong. Deserted and feeling more alone than ever, I need to lead my people in this new barbaric world. I've got to defend them against the power hungry senator and shield them from even themselves. All this while my heart is being ripped to shreds
Sometimes, redemption is found in your darkest moments.

I honestly didn’t know what to rate this series. Story wise (world building, lore, events, setting) was actually pretty good, pretty interesting. But there just were so many other problems I just found myself rolling my eyes a lot.
First: Do Not read this author’s series back to back. Space them out. Or you will find they are highly formulaic. As in every single relationship goes down the same exact way. Every hero is the same (all powerful, falls in love with heroine right away, flirts around with another woman to make heroine jealous, is super devoted to heroine but we don’t know why). Every heroine is the same (one special snowflake, damaged mentally in some way, pushes hero away, independent to a fault, doesn’t realize hero is in love with her until the final chapters of the last book). Every series goes down exactly the same.
Second: This book needed some help with the editing. I usually just overlook spelling mistakes and such, since I don’t care for the most part. But in this series it was so much that it was distracting. I kept having to stop and make sense of sentences. Also found myself correcting the writing, which just takes me out of the actual story.
Third: The climax scenes are so underwhelming. There is no build up. Just wham bam, done all fixed. So it leaves you feeling disappointed.
—- SPOILERS—-
Fourth: I actually had problems with the relationship on this one. The hero leaves and when he comes back expects the heroine to be waiting for him. And when that is not the case he pretty much steamrolls her into wanting to be with him. It just felt wrong. No explanations for leaving, no anything, just you have to love me. They were also married, but he neglected to mention. And when she understandably gets upset he is all like, oh you are just running away from commitment, wtf? There were a lot of other things along those lines that just kept bothering me.
Fifth: So many loose ends. What happened to Dodd? What happened with all the deserters? What about the baby? What about the father of the baby, did someone kill him? What about Colleen, is she with Dark? Basically nothing gets resolved with the side characters. She just gets rid of the bad guy, the earth is getting fixed and the book ends. No closure on anything.

Absolutely Engrossing!
I fell in love with the Heroine in the first book. I could not put it down. The story drew me in and did not let go until the last page. It was as if I could feel every emotion Jo felt. I could identify with her daily struggles. I love this set, Books 1 through 4.

I love this authors work. Although the alpha male leads and the spunky female lead tend to be alike in the series I have read so far. That's good for the male role, but the female leads tend to be really immature and selfish. Yes, they do grow or I would probably hate the books. The stories are all too slow burn almost with really tame sex scenes, the few you get. I think my biggest issue though is a lack of Epilogue and leaving dangling plot lines that could have easily been tied up. For example, the human slavery, at the end; she could have told the Changed at her feet that she would leave them alone unless the continued the human slavery. Letting them know that slavery would not be tolerated. I would have loved to have seen some deserters come back begging or trying to sneak in and been tossed on their ears. I would have loved to see how they handle surviving more long term. Gardens, livestock etc... How did she hope to bring all the separate factions to work better together because I remember her thinking if it didn't change they would never survive and it didn't. Lastly, I would have loved to see the couple and their dragon baby down the road some. I think this lack of an epilogue is why I only gave four stars. I think ratings are influenced by how the reader feels the moment they finish the book. I always felt l like this authors books should be five stars, but when I finish one I don't feel complete. I feel like it was hurried to end without wrapping some things up and giving us that warm glow that a good epilogue will give you, which would have led to higher ratings I am sure.
But other than these issues, the stories are really good with in depth plot lines, lots of drama and a surprise till the end. They are not predictable. That's hard to find. I highly recommend anything by this author that I have read so far.

3.5 Stars.
I enjoyed the first two books more than the last two. Jo's history as a foster kid and her character intro was strong, and sparked me right in the feels. I admired her independence, personal drive, and empathy for others despite her past. She made me laugh with her sarcastic, spunky humour and bold attitude.
Cue Cormac. He started out intriguing, but for a being as old as he is, I began to get pretty annoyed with his immaturity in the later books. His and Jo's back and forth, hot and cold episodes became less suspenseful and increasingly bothersome. Ok, sexual tension. Got it. Move on. Dragging it out for 3 books was fucking annoying.
I feel like Augustine left a shit ton of unanswered questions where Cormac, the Fae, the Wolves, and the Earth King was concerned, and that made the series ending fall flat for me. The " big action" climax felt rushed, and the conclusion abrupt. There was real potential in the plot line, but it just wasn't as fleshed-out as I had hoped it would be.
I'm not usually one to make a big deal about the odd editing error, but holy shit. This series was loaded with editing errors.
All that said, I've read the synopsis of Augustine's other series (beginning with "The Wilds") and figure I might not give up on her yet. I haven't looked into her publishing history, but hope the other series begins with Augustine as a more experienced author.

I cannot stand wimpy lead characters!
I'm only on book 3 but goodness the main character is just annoying! Cormac is holding this story up! No runs around like some weak female in need of saving yet she's supposed to be all strong and badass! She is too hesitant to learn about herself or the power she possesses! Instead, she would rather be babied and have others take the lead to find solutions and help save everybody! When she does pretend to be the lead she's doing stupid stuff that doesn't help anything but makes it worse! Ugh, I can't stand her winey butt! Also, her running from a relationship with Cormac is the stupidest thing! It's so annoying when writers have these so-called lead females talk about how much the lead make turns them on them they go and make every excuse not to be with him! I'm so sick of reading series like that! I want to read more lead ladies like Kate Daniels! Kicking butt and taking names with no need for a man to come save them! They aren't afraid to go toe to toe with the bad guy not claim their man! Honestly, this series doesn't get interesting until book 3 but Jo is still an airhead so I don't know if I'm going to finish out the series!

The positive is always first!
I was thoroughly entertained by the series. The characters were well developed and interesting. I loved that it wasn't just another vampire love story, which is so very common. The author's unique type of magic, using the Alchemists, added a refreshing change.
I felt the same way with Donna Augustine's Karma Series. It's uniqueness made it memorable and set it above everyone else because of that.
It was also well written and edited, with very few grammar and structure issues.
The only thing I got hung up on was the lack of magical development for Cormac. I would've loved to see what made everyone else fear him. Why was he so intimidating? What was so special about him that everyone bowed to his command? It was hinted at several times, but I never had that moment where I sat back in my chair and said, "Wow! He is all that and the bag of chips!".
But, in the end, I loved the series!

Another Keeper (play on words LOL) This is a very creative fantasy, a world we can recognize in the beginning, but slowly the shifting of reality happens. Josephine is a wild child, a product of foster homes and street living. But she is something more. She gets a job in a Los Vegas casino and sees something she shouldn't. The owner, Cormac, reluctantly orders her shot...only she doesn't die. Things go deeper from here. Donna Augustine is one of my all time favorite authors. Ollie Wit is a gem of a series. The Wilds was another purely fantastic story. Karma was the only series I didn't read past the first book, but maybe I will. Love her and her books.

Stalkers, emotionally abusive relationships, multiple murders and mayhem. And a confusing and irrational affair between the main protagonists.
As noted by others, the Strong Hold Publishing needs to find better editors and proofreaders. Kind of distracting.
All in all, won't be reading any more of this author's works, if they aren't any better than this.
Spoiler:
Yet, I couldn't seem to stop reading, waiting for things to get better (they didn't). And then there was The End. It was definitely a "What? Where's the rest of the story..." kind of end. It just stops, like perhaps there was a 100,000 (pick a number) word goal, and when it was reached, the writing ceased.

A great KU Fantasy
It’s rare to find a good fantasy on KU but this was definitely one of them. Admittedly there were a few spelling/grammar issues, and some of the dialog was hard to follow, and the world building took a while to get used to but the characters and plot made up for all of it. Would love to see this on bookshelves one day after a good editing. I’d read it again in a heartbeat. In the meantime, time to find something else by this author to dig into.

3 and a half stars. I read The Wilds series, by this author and loved it so went looking for more of her work. I suspect this is an earlier series. While I did enjoy it, I didn't find it nearly as compelling. I also found Cormac to be far too controlling, in an unhealthy way, for the main romantic interest.
February 28, 2019
I'm a little disappointed in the MC of this story. I felt that she was incredibly immature at times and made a lot of bad decisions. I listened to the full audio boxed set in Hope's that it would get better with each book, but there were some points where I cringed listening to this story. The premise of the story was entertaining and I liked majority of the other characters.
January 15, 2019
Entertaining and action packed. A bit hard to suspend disbelief sometimes. The alpha hero ticked me off so much I couldn’t forgive him as quickly as the heroine did. Parts of the story seemed more rushed than they needed to be. Overall I enjoyed it.

Epic
Epic battles, epic love. Twists and turns that has guessing until the very end. I will it had gone on for longer. Memorable flawed, believable character's. I read for days straight, until there was no more to read.

LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!
March 20, 2017
I’ve read everything Donna Augustine has written - but completely out-of-order. I’ve read each of her series and loved each one. Alchemy was her first series and the last one on my list to read. This is a 4-book collection: The Keepers (free on Kindle & Nook), Keepers and Killers, Shattered, and Redemption. The series takes Jo Michaels from pre-med student at UNLV, waiting tables to make ends meet to learning the world is much bigger and more supernatural then she imagined. Jo’s role as a Keeper of the highest skill level in this new world is much bigger than she ever imagined.
Expect a lot of action, a lot of world-building (and destruction), and some great romance.

Different kind of storyline. Dystopia and fantasy combined. No one was perfect. That makes it even more fun. Could not put this down.

Exceptional saga of Keepers/fae/humans/changers
Cormac a centuries old Keeper & Jo- a half human keeper who never knew her parents in the fight to protect life/restore the torn wormholes/ in the life after the world was shattered by the person known as the senator.

Loved this-had everything!
Donna Augustine is one of my newly favorited paranormal/dystopian/romance authors. This series is my favorite by far. I don't always like the mix of paranormal creatures (fae/werewolves/mutants) but she weaves them together in a way that makes it work so well, you practically feel like you're living with them. I loved the dynamics and steaminess that she built between Jo and Cormac through out the books, it was just enough to heat things up without crossing any real lines. I can't say enough good about this, just give it a try, you'll find yourself hooked-I did!

Oh boy, this one was bizarre. I blew through this series in a couple of days. I enjoyed the story. I thought it was a unique twist on the ever growing number of apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic lit out there. There was something to be desired in the core relationship however and I think that is the reason I look back at this series with less fondness than it deserves.
SPOILERS:
Cormac is a rude, selfish, self-absorbed and abusive character. He has the female lead killed in the first half of book one! He is sneaky, dishonest and manipulative; Emotionally destructive, bossy and explosively temperamental. Jo rightfully loathes him from the get go and refuses his advances and his orders and his mandates and she goes off into the world with him in her rearview mirror. Then he sets his sights on her friend, now he is out of play so naturally she has to be jealous. And then his controlling nature and abusive monopoly on her time is because he needs to keep her safe and that is just SO sweet, all you want is the best for me, so how can I say no? He FORCES her into a marriage without her consent, without her knowledge and knowingly creates the unbreakable contract that essentially keeps her imprisoned in his hotel, in his circle, in his life. And that is just the sweetest thing ever because he loves her SO much he would go to those lengths to keep her in his life. He abandons her, returns and expects to take up the same all consuming role in her life because he is older, wiser and more in the know. I loathe him.
Jo had so much potential, she was strong and had a will of her own and had survived this long in her broken life without any one to fish her out of trouble, she was going to be a doctor and she was going to succeed, rising out of a bad situation and never using it as an excuse for why she failed. In walks billionaire handsome guy and suddenly she needs rescuing, she has no will of her own and she turns into mush. Yes, she is headstrong throughout the entire series, but I get the impression that she argues more for the sake of argument than to win an argument. That dialogue is tossed in there to create the impression that she is not bending to her new boyfriends will like straw but it's a flimsy facade for the true fact: she lost her backbone.
This could have been saved. If Cormac had failed in making Jo his wife/slave, if they had stood on even, ground, equals in the end, if she had chosen someone else, if he had shed the visage of abusive dick head to reveal his soft squishy side and THEN things started rolling romatically. Because they ended up together and madly in love despite the epitome of disfunction and domestic abuse, the story died and it's only resounding boom was the crash of a female lead with all the potential in the world, taken out by a misoginystic ass-hat that never deserved her.

Not "the wilds" series
I was so hoping for another five star series like the wilds. This missed the mark. I finished them all, but there was no fluency. You didn't love the characters or smile at their antics . Most was a mish mash or non believable ideas that just had no flow. The story line was to bizarre but in a bad way.But I am a die hard "wilds" lover so I will keep reading this author looking for that quality again for sure!

Amazing. I started the 1st book - and could not stop reading.. reading when I should have been working, sleeping.. what ever!!!
This author is new for me and I will be on the hunt for more of her work.
The fantasy novels are based around 1 woman; Josephine - and her meeting with the "keepers" - who say she is one too. I do not want to spoil anything here, but the story gets more and more compelling as it goes, many surprises, wonderful characters and just amazing things occur - with her in the middle of course. Her love interest; Cormac does not pick up right away - and develops in an interesting fashion.
I recommend this to anyone who loves a great story with a new and interesting venue!

Oh My God! This is a great series! I haven't read something this good, that just totally grabbed and held my attention so fully in such a long time! I'm so overjoyed to have found this set of books. So much action, nail-biting intensity, and awesome adventures! I fell in love with all the characters and the story as a whole. You have so much talent and an inspiring imagination, Donna! Thank you so much for taking us on this wonderful trip with you through the Alchemy Series. It's been a fun ride and I'm sad it has ended, but quite happy to have taken the ride!

Great series
A world where the apocalypse brings magic into the world. But as unlike the Kate Daniels world as possible. The tropes are still,there: one damaged but feisty heroine destined to make or break the world; one sizzlingly hot but taciturn hero, a multitude of misunderstandings, oh yes, and a battle to save the world. But the world building is original, as are the supporting cast, and the villain is a truly original creation in more senses than one. Poor proof reading robbed it of 5 stars.

I loved all 4 stories of the alchemy series of the keepers. The writer did extremely well bringing these stories to life. With this box set of 4 you do have
To read each book in order to understand each journey to the end. I loved the ending,each book was very suspenseful,and had that love/hate relationship between Jo and Cormac.

This series was amazing
I love books with a kick butt heroine who does not have all the answers. I enjoy that they have to learn how to lead and they make some horrible mistakes. But mistakes are okay because they put on their big girl pants and fix what they broke.
We got to grow right along with the Keepers and wonder what choices we would make. Well done.

I was really enjoying reading the whole series and then I got to the end. I DO NOT like books that don't have a complete ending. No it isn't a continuation, but it just ended. nothing at the end just okay I'm done writing this so here is the end. Okay I woke up and looked around. that's it. The ending makes the story, I was recommending my daughter to read but told her not to bother.
