Eylin is hiding in the underground city from the group of ancients who want her dead, but she’s not safe even there. On the other side of some massive tunnels, an unknown group is systematically removing magic from each underground city.
As pressure mounts, Eylin has big decisions to make, and each could have deadly consequences. After being personally attacked, she makes a bold decision, and goes after it with the hopes of saving those she loves.
She becomes deeply invested in an ancient culture. If she gets too close, she could put all of her loved ones at risk.

Stacy Claflin writes about complex women overcoming incredible odds. Whether it's her Gone trilogy of psychological thrillers, her ongoing Transformed paranormal saga, or her Seaside Hunters sweet romance series, Stacy's three-dimensional heroines shine through.
Decades after she wrote her first stories on construction paper and years after typing on an inherited green screen computer that weighed half a ton, Stacy realized her dream of becoming a full-time author.
When she's not busy writing or educating her kids from home, Stacy enjoys watching TV shows like Supernatural, Pretty Little Liars, and Once Upon a Time.
I'm not sure about those barbarians since it really didn't say much about them like their species, why they were hurting the dragons, etc. It was shocking that she was able 2 find tanner but it had 2 b a little hard on her 2 have 2 kill her own step siblings. I was surprised that she didn't tell her dad about it. It was surprising that she lasted through 2 wars back 2 back without much of a break except 4 a small one. I was happy that Blake's parents came back 2 help in the wars instead of still hiding out.
I feel like this series only gets better. Sometimes when you read a series you can tell by book 3 that they are running out of ideas or maybe losing their enjoyment with writing a series but Stacy Clafin has shown how dedicated she is to writing a series. She keeps you interested and by the end of one of the books you long for more. Transcend is no different, Eylin is a lot like her mother Alexis always finding herself in trouble, with endless battles and a love that leaves you breathless. I cannot wait to start reading book 9!
Talk about action packed with plenty twists and turn. And that ending... talk about BIG. Like all the books so far, the story throughout the book does finish ... but whoa the lead into the next book...shocker! I know what I’d like to see happen, but we’ll see. I love these stories...they hold my interest, and the characters after 8 books you have a vested interest in them, cheering good times and aching with them through the sad ones.
I never thought that I would like books about the paranormal. I was so wrong. Each book in this series is spellbinding. There’s never a dull moment. My problem is that I read them too fast. Going to start book #9 now.
I have a surprise for you today! Yep, yep, it’s the 8th book in the Transformed series, and I’ll be reviewing the 9th book soon too, either it will go out on Tuesday or on Friday. Depends on my mood, but enough with my blabbing and let me get back to the book!
It was great! Though I do not have some minor concerns and those are because I’m a detail-oriented person who just loves villain masterminds! However, the book is great, we get to meet some new characters, some old ones will appear, and I apologize foe my last review statement as one character will still stand between Eylin and Darius. You might guess, who it is, but is appearance on the best page of the book will just make you first shocked and afterwards mad. In the need you’ll be curious as to what’s going to happen next! Saying from personal experience here!
We get to see a lot of Ana, and if you ask me, the girl is annoying, but she has her charm as well. Now for my detail oriented min first of all the idea of Ancients and Barbarians was awesome, but it was played not that greatly. Let me explain now! The motif behind barbarians attacks was only once mentioned and their race or everything was as if overlooked. They defeated the dragons with no problem, but we still did not get to know who they actually where. With Ancients it’s absolutely different story. If you ask me, they were defeated too easily maybe, there was no amazing mastermind there. Come on, they need a great villain there to lean them, but nope, we didn’t get him. Also the whole: because-you’re-abomination-that’s-why-you-better-be-dead motif was a bit too much of a cliché. I’m thinking that if Stacy expands the Ana’s illness line, it will be pretty awesome. I think there’s going to be something super intriguing in her blood.
Overall, the book is awesome. We get to see a lot of action, some mystery and an amazing cliffhanger at the need. I’m getting ready for a 9th book, buying some sour candies and lots of read orange juice. I hope you’ll enjoy this book to your heart’s contact and don’t forget to share your thoughts below!

What Can I say, other than I love this series. Each book draws me in and I can't put it down till I finish reading. Then I have the wait till the next one is available. Thank you for hour of enjoyment.
If you haven't read the Transformed series do yourself that favor. This latest addition is as great as the rest of them. The series is evolving again. I need more!
