Mystic Series #1
Mystic Awakening
Every four hundred years, an all-powerful being is born. Known as the Mystic, this magical entity must maintain the balance of all realms and save the world in an ultimate battle.
For those within the magical realms, the role of the Mystic is legendary. However, the Mystic has been born in the human realm. She’s not only unaware of her unique destiny, she’s missing. Time is running out. Even if she’s found, no human has ever stood against a demonic realm and lived.
FBI agent, Kate Smith, has spent her entire life hiding from her psychic abilities. As much as she despises being different, she admits they’ve helped her solve some of the most brutal cases. But her latest assignment has her doubting herself. It’s like nothing she’s encountered before, and the gifts she’s grown to rely on aren’t working. Visions haunt her dreams, and questions about her destiny plague her. Worse yet, the answers she discovers are even more terrifying.
For twenty-eight years, Xander Montgomery has searched for the only being who can save all realms. But it’s not easy finding someone unaware of who she is, and being stuck in the human realm isn’t helping his disposition. As a Guardian, he has one mission—protect the Mystic. When Kate and Xander finally meet, he’s convinced of one thing. If he can’t persuade the strong-willed stranger to follow him on a deadly quest, the world is doomed.

As I started this book, it gave me very strong Charmed meets Buffy vibe...very Urban Fantasy. As I read more, it started to take on a more traditional fantasy. Ms. Lawrence has created a very engaging world and characters that you will either love or dislike. The dynamic and relationships between all characters kept me engaged. Near the end, you finally start to get the bigger picture. There is still more to come and I cannot see what Happens to Kate, her friend Angie and her Guardian Xander as they prepare for the Big Bad to come.

Mystic Awakening
This is one of the rare books that wouldn't let me stop until the end. I'm sooooo looking forward to the next. I am a big fan of stories that allow you to put yourself in the place of the protagonist and live the adventure as if it was happening to you.

An interesting start to an obvious series, while in general I do not like stories that do not stand alone but are more like a chapter in the story, and this story hints at everything and and ends very little. I did enjoy it.

Not for me.
Gave up half way through. Could not empathise with any of the characters so the story left me feeling cold.
