Saving Parris

The Council #1-3

by Lynn Collins

A rogue hunter, a clueless witch and a mission to save an unknowing world. Parris McCall, owner of the dive bar, The Alibi, has finally constructed a life where her little quirks don’t show or matter to anyone. As for her grandmother's warnings that she’s different, well, she'll cross that bridge if she comes to it. But when Ty Wallace walks into her bar, both lives are instantly changed. Saving Parris is a bundle of the first three books in The Council series – a paranormal romantic suspense with an ongoing love story that was mated to be. Can Ty get Parris’ powers awaken before the ultimate showdown with the other coven that has wanted her dead since her birth? If you like witches and paranormal creatures in modern day settings, you’ll love Saving Parris and The Council series.

Thank you NetGalley and Author Collective 20 for this arc.

This was a fast read for me with lots of action. Got a little steamy here and there, but the soft porn didn't detract from the story. I found the characters a little flat and stereotypical and predictable. While there was lots of action happening, there wasn't much else. A nice, non-challenging read.

2.5 stars

This 3 book set takes us on an adventure as Parris learns of her heritage as a witch. Her power has been hidden by a well-meaning grandmother who sought to protect her after hear parents died an untimely death. Parris meets Ty, a witch hunter, whose job is to take rogue witches to The Council. The couple form alliances with others and work together to keep all safe. I enjoyed this book and the characters. It would have been good, although much longer, to have more character development but that certainly leaves more for additional books. I read this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Parris owns a bar and learns she is a witch. Ty is a lawyer and goes to Parris’s bar looking for rogue witches but finds Parris. Ty Is a warlock and a hunter. Her grandmother put a spell on them so they’d forget they were witches. Someone is set on destroying Parris but Ty will protect her and help her as she learns how to be a witch. They are sent on a journey to find out where the other Coven is, they have been hiding for years and is wanting to take The Council down.
A little sex, a lot of witchcraft, and surprises. I honestly didn’t think I’d like this book but the more I read, the more interesting it got. This was the first time reading this author and it was good. A couple of times the characters intersections between each other was a little unbelievable. But I’m glad I read it.

First off I liked all the characters in this story. I also liked the world where this takes place. There are witches, warlocks, fairy’s, trolls and ghosts; all of them were fun.. There was plenty of romance and sparks but also treachery and forgiveness. I was glad that Parris whose parents were gone and only grew up with her grandmother was able slowly build up her support system into a family that works towards good. There were some minor glitches in syntax and mistakes in wording but a good editor could fix them easily. All in all, I liked this and will probably read more in this series. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

3 1/2 Star Review.....

Saving Parris was my first read by Lynn Collins and I found this trilogy to be action-packed, sexy and a fast read too. The plot showed promise and the overall world building was satisfactory, the characters however were clichéd and lacked some originality. Magic and mayhem were definitely the norm for this series and it did improve as the stories progressed. So while it wasn’t the best series around it was an easy, yet predictable read, that I’m sure many readers will enjoy.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Author Collective 20 for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. I believe this is a bundle three parts of a story combined. The transition between the parts did not flow, it was quite awkward. I felt like sections were missing. I liked the characters. Parris and Ty were interesting. The world felt awkward, but I liked most of the story. I rated it a 3.
