The Arrow

by Maureen O'Leary

Can Fynn Kildare stop a demonic viral apocalypse on humanity? Find out in The Arrow... Fynn Kildare, a powerful healer, grew up in the Keep but left its confines to pursue a life of her own. She must accept her power and rightful place if she's to stop a threat to humanity and the Divine. The Arrow is a roller coaster novel that packs romance, mythology, corporate conspiracy, and more into an urban fantasy adventure. Fynn and her family stand as guardians protecting the Keep, a walled commune by the sea, from the demons coming to invade it. These suit-and-tie servants of the head witch Hecate run the pharmaceutical company CainPharma, producer of a new drug called Hydravirus. The concoction is addictive and dangerous, and, as Fynn discovers, it's also part of a greedy corporate grab for power and money. But Fynn's own addictions threaten her magical abilities. And as she becomes romantically involved with a famous old flame, she must decide where to place her trust. Can she resolve these problems in time to save both humans and the Divine? It's her own life on the line if she doesn't.

[Julie Powell · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent well-written fantasy about the Three Goddesses and the fight against evil.

Evil which comes in the shape of a witch's plan...

This is an unusual fantasy in that it is a loose mix of reality and the realm of mythical life. It demonstrates the flaws of supernatural beings bringing them in line with humans.

It was an enjoyable read, with a great plot and believable characters and superb imagery that was poetic in both its beauty and terrifying awareness.

Recommended.

This book is a super fun roller coaster. I'm pretty sure I didn't breathe for the last 50 pages. Review to come!

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written fantasy book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great fantasy movie, animated cartoon, or mini TV series. Not something I normally read but I enjoyed it. That said I will rate it at 4/5 stars.

Thank you for the free Story Cartel; PDF book

I received a copy of "Arrow" from story cartel in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book. It is a modern day story of an old religion fighting against a witches coven and demons, trying to prevent the apocalypse. Action packed, romance, fighting between demons and the divine. Non-Christian so I want to warn all my Christian readers. But I read it as fiction as it was intended and I really liked it. There is drug use and some non-explicit sexual content. No swearing, lots of fighting and violence. One in a series. Though it is left somewhat open for the next story, there is an ending to this story. I enjoyed the forgiveness and redemption part of this story.

New Mythology

Apocalyptic fairytale. Total destruction encapsulated by a witch who controls demons, a triumvirate of Godesses with healing powers. Always the three. William the storyteller weaving his tales in and out. Komo with his beautiful voice and Eli the almost human demon, caught in a epic love triangle Flynn Kildare might be a goddess and one of the three but she was a scientist researcher and in lighting t of the hydravirus the Goddess Strain was the only vac cine that can cure it. Will they have enough?
