Frequency

by Shan Lynn

Six months ago I lost my sister. Six months ago the nightmares began.
His voice is a haunting reminder echoing in my head.

I have your sisters soul.

It's a never-ending struggle, teetering on the edge of sanity. Is it from
the overwhelming grief, or is the reaper in my dreams real?
Just when I feel like I'm losing hope, my life takes an unexpected turn
and I'm faced with the reality of who I am.

“My heart is your heart, and my body and mind are forever entwined with yours. This feeling,” he squeezes my hand within his still against his heart, “This magnetism you feel is the same for me. You’re the missing piece to my forever, and I refuse to ever let you go.” His vow shocks me as the tears fall effortlessly.”

Paranormal Fantasy is not my usual go-to, but I am trying to shake up my reading habits this year. I read the blurb to Frequency and it caught my attention. This is a detailed and emotional read, loads of angst and suspense. Shan definitely engaged my attention from the start. The book has a good flow with the storyline unraveling at just the right pace to keep you intrigued and curious. As we get the backstory we begin to understand the moving pieces, the players. The slow-burn and build of Zayne and Myssa’s connection. I became so invested in the story, in the world that was created that the cliffy really caught me off guard. Like gasping and shaking my kindle kind of response.

Myssa Connor’s life was turned upside down six months ago with the death of her sister, Nik. Since her death, nightmares have ruled her nights. She has just been existing and going through the motions of her everyday life. Then her boss insists for her own good that she take a much needed break from the IT firm where she is a project manager to focus on her grief.

As she is leaving the building she has an encounter with a handsome stranger. One that awakens her to a connection she has never felt before.

When her best friends Vix and Knox begin working at a new club called Frequency she hesitantly decides to go out for the first time since Nik’s death. As she enters the club she feels the intense pull she has been feeling for days. An erotic, sensual pleasure that finally has been freed.

Zayne has fulfilled his dream of opening a new club, Frequency in Chicago, after years of hosting pop-up raves. His plans are falling in line and having his best friend Knox as his head of security is a no-brainer. His social life has been on hold as he focuses on his future.

Then he encounters her.

It’s been years since he and Knox have encountered another one like them.

Myssa soon realizes that she has to confide in her friends.

She wasn’t expecting the response they had.

She wasn’t expecting to be a missing piece to the puzzle.

Frequency by Shan Lynn is an addicting dark paranormal romance. The storyline flowed wonderfully and had me hooked from the first page.  The paranormal aspect was really interesting. Myssa, the FMC, finds herself able to pass through the “frequency” to a place called Aetherium. Turns out she isn’t the only one. I loved the chemistry between the main characters, Myssa and Zayne, and their relationships with the secondary characters. I am particularly interested in learning more about Jasper, the antagonist.  I feel there is much more to him than meets the eye. With twists that I didn’t see coming and the perfect splash of spice this book left me desperate for book 2. Check out the banging playlist, too!

What an amazing debut from Shan!!!! Frequency had me in a chokehold from the very start, it was such an interesting take on paranormal characters. I honestly couldn’t put this book down, I loved every moment of this story and absolutely love the characters. I can’t wait to see what Shan has in store for us with this series because I NEED MORE!!!! I highly recommend this book, it was such a fresh new concept I haven’t seen before and the storyline is so gripping. Just go read it I promise you will be obsessed!

Thank you, author and Candi Kane pr for giving me an ARC of this book.

“My heart is your heart, and my body and mind are forever entwined with yours. This feeling,” he squeezes my hand within his still against his heart, “This magnetism you feel is the same for me. You’re the missing piece to my forever, and I refuse to ever let you go.”

This was a fast paced book. I liked the world building even when at times it felt confusing to me. I also liked how easy to read this book was, it was good.

I see a lot of potential for the main characters & the side characters, at time i just felt that we are going too fast for my liking regarding the relationships these characters have, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

There are so many things that made me question what was going on in this book. Don’t get me wrong i definitely enjoyed this book and the relationship between the characters it juts felt somehow…lacking something idk what is. To me half of this book felt like we were waisting time of small things rather than focusing on the bigger things.

Anyways i recommend this book if you want a fast paced, slow burn, book. I’m curious about what happens next so I’ll pick up the next book when it comes out.

“She is beautiful. I want her, I want to know all of her, what makes her tick, what are her fears, her insecurities, what interests her, what revolts her, what her lips taste like, what it feels like to be consumed by her…”

If you love a fast-paced plot with a slow burn romance, this book checks all the boxes.

Shan Lynn's debut is one of those books that leaves you wanting more. It's the perfect length to read in a weekend, and you easily find yourself pulled into the main characters life. I love how you are learning about the world along with the Myssa as she's discovering this whole new part of it that she never knew existed. The world building itself is done really well. I love how it doesn't bog down the storyline or slow down the pace of the book. Shan Lynn sprinkles the world building throughout the story so it's easy to consume and learn about what is happening.

The slow burn romance is nice, and when the heated scenes hit, they get you in the feels.

I'm excited to see where the story goes next and to learn about the side characters who have captured my attention.

So good! This is the first novel I have read by this author but it won't be the last. This novel did not disappoint. I love a slow burn and this novel checked so many boxes for me. I love a good paranormal romance. This novel took me on such a wild ride. From the first few chapters this novel sucked me in and held on tight until the very last page. I need to know what is coming next, I can' wait until the next novel is released. I loved Myssa and Zayne. Wow, the chemistry was so good! Once I started reading this novel held on tight. I was on the edge of my seat reading. I can hardly wait for the next novel to see what is coming next. So good! The next novel can't come soon enough.

Shans debut book is nothing to sleep on!! This Paranormal Romance, sloooow burn, had such an amazing build up to the cliffhanger at the end. The story flows well and the puzzle pieces start to fall into place, leaving us with a jaw dropping moment at the end….i need to know what happens next….i was sucked in from the beginning and left wanting at the end….with the slow burn, the spice was 2.5/5 when it was happening, wasn’t a lot a spice. Hoping there is more to come in the future! Again for a debut novel, this is a magnificent story! And that’s coming from someone who doesn’t read a lot of fantasy anymore, but I’m here for it!!

I have never read a book like this before. Myssa is such an amazing FMC. She is walking through tragedy in her life and in turn finds out her life isn’t what she thought. Zayne is such an intriguing MMC. He is just going along and then here comes Myssa. You never know what he is going to say and I love it! The side characters in this book are even giving main character energy! The premise of this story is unique and grips you from the very beginning. Paranormal/fated mates. Gothic/industrial. The music references are top tier and you should definitely make sure that you are listening to the music! This is a story that needs to be read by as many people as possible! Can’t wait for more!!

Frequency was author Shan Lynn and it did not disappoint. Zayne and Myssa meet on accident and it was insta love. Myssa recently lost her sister and was being haunted by a demon named Jasper who is after her soul 😈! You also meet her friends Vix and Knox (Gah, he’s my favorite) who end up working for Zayne at Frequency. There is a big curveball/cliffhanger at the end so be prepared. I am not normally a slow burn fan but this book kept me entertained so I was able to look past it. 😊

Frequency is a paranormal romance with a captivating twist to the genre. Shan Lynn's debut novel will have you on the edge of your seat as the main characters find themselves in the crosshairs of their unique abilities and their colliding worlds. I look forward to seeing where Shan takes this series.

A new world

Overall, a few typos and sentences that need to be corrected- but they did not detract from the storyline! I love a good spin on other worlds and Shan Lynn took me for a wild ride with this one. I am, to put it simply, hooked. The story, the characters, the settings- all had me racing through my day to get back to reading.

[Melanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved this book and I’m just low key mad I have to wait for the next one. Shan does an incredible job at hooking you from the beginning with this story. If you love paranormal romance with a twist, this is the book for you! What an incredible debut novel!!

[Debbi Rattunde · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is amazing! There's a huge cliff hanger at the end. I seriously need to get my hands on the other books in this trilogy! Happy reading!

[Stephanie K · Rating 4 out of 5]

Frequency is a unique take on soulmates and how they complete each other. I loved the snarky inner monologue and the banter between the characters. The paranormal dimension shifting was super interesting. I really enjoyed this debut novel from Shan Lynn and look forward to reading the rest of the series!
