Soulmark #3
Wardens of Starlight
Discover a dark and dangerous world of supernatural creatures and forbidden love in the third installment of A Soulmark Series.
As a Warden of Starlight—an elite fighter sworn to protect humanity from all manner of supernatural creatures—Callie knows the meaning of loyalty and discipline. She’d been trained with the principles all her life. That, and that any mark or trace of supernaturalkind should be culled or annihilated upon sight.
Which makes Callie's secret one that could cost her her life.
A soulmark.
Kept hidden all her life from family and friends, Callie’s secret is exposed by her sworn enemy… and fated mate one terrible night. Burdened with the knowledge of her soulmark, Callie finds herself at an unforgivable crossroads. Do right by her people and slay him, or unravel the truth about the mysterious and stoic wolf who bears her soulmark…
There’s a reason Keenan O’Neal ranks so high in the Adolphus Pack. He’s steadfast, strong, and deadly when necessary thanks to his military background. Tasked to steal a magical artifact from an illustrious group of hunters before his pack's rivals can, plans go awry when he discovers the identity of his soulmark while making his escape—as well as her right hook.
When a twist of fate brings the pair together again, they must decide whether to fight for love or fight each other as a brewing war between lycans, witches, vampires, and Wardens threatens to reach its boiling point.

Calliope Sawyer has a secret that could cost her her life. I love this character and her willingness to put her life on the line for her friends. I could so easily relate to her, and she has become my favorite character. She’s tough, unstoppable when she sets her sights on what she firmly believes is the right thing. Rebecca Main makes Calliope shine. She wants to be a Starlight warrior and the supernaturals are her enemies. This will all change, when she meets Keenan O’Neal, a werewolf.

The best book out of the three in the series! Not only was it a fun read that stuck to our female MC perspective only, but it also introduced the reader to a new perspective in the human vs lycan shenanigans.
Our MC is Callie a kickass Warrior...a hunter of all things supernatural, a protector if humans...well she would be if the Council would let her. See our girl made a big mistake where lives were lost and she was demoted to serve as a Warden. A glorified librarian that us also protects the artifacts against danger, which of course shows up in the form of a group of lycans who are there to steal one of the artifacts.
Big fight between her and one of the wolves where she finds out by a touch that he is her Soulmate. Dun-dun-DUUUUUNNNN! We later find out that said wolf is Keenan, a lycan we've met in the previous books. I like him, he's quiet and solid. A good friend and great fighter.
Not going to explain all of the plot but the one thing I want to point out is that the plot in this book is different from the other two. Where the two lycans in book 1 and 2 kept pushing their Soulmates for a romantic/sexual relationship and trampled over the boundries set by their ladies...this book is different, Keenan is different.
He's calm and patient. When she says friendship is all he'll get he goes with it. He listens to her and spars with her. He treats her as an equal instead of a prize to be won. Hence my 4 star rating.
Took of the 1 star for the (again) rushed ending, though far better than books 1 and 2, and the random Fairy that showed up once more only for it to be just a strange distraction.
There's supposed to be a part 4 and 5 as well, but am still debating whether to go for them or not.

Wardens of Starlight was well worth the wait! I loved the introduction of the Wardens and how they tied into the rest of the lore. The way Rebecca Main is able to spin a story full of detail and new characters without making it boring or stale is refreshing to say the least. I love Keenan and his rough but kind nature and how Calliope is sexy but has a fighters build with tattoos. I like that all of the women in the Soulmark series have differing physical features and aren't just the same cookie cutter barbie doll. Now to begin the countdown for the next book!!!

Still going...
The series is still building momentum. It is funny how I can enjoy a series and not like the attitudes of the female characters, crazy!

Best story so far, but needs a decent editor. The inappropriate use of language really detracts from the flow.

Oh I sank right into this book, and then devoured three more in quick succession... absolutely wonderful, the text flows well, the worldbuilding is solid if a little restricted as yet, and the alpha's are grrr and maybe a little too grrr for some, but I enjoyed it a lot, a whole lot, and the fact that it has a wonderful humour to it too.
If you love your alpha / heroin get together's - I wholeheartedly recommend this book
P.S. Love bookmarks? Want to print them out and use them as often as you like? Love ephemera and junk journal’s and prints too? Try out my new website The Witchery Woo

I liked this book in the series, it was an easy read that gave me what I needed and didn't leave me feeling deflated like so many other has. It isn't by any means the best book I've ever read, not even the best book for this genre but I enjoyed it. The romance was easier than the last two books and I liked that, I was wanting an easy read and I got it.
Though I went into this series with no expectations for enjoying it I find myself wanting to continue this series despite some of it's faults.
