Alphas: Origins
Alphas: Origins | Ilona Andrews
1 post | 5 read | 1 to read
From Ilona Andrews—#1 New York Times bestselling author of Magic Shifts and the Kate Daniels novels—comes a stark, seductive tale of a world torn asunder by supernatural gifts and irresistible passions... Karina Tucker is driving a van of children home from a field trip when an unplanned detour to a seemingly ordinary rest stop changes her life. There, she witnesses a world beyond humanity’s sight, of frightful powers and chaos, where she is in death’s grip...before an irresistibly dangerous male saves her—only to take her captive. For she is a rare commodity in the shadowy realm she’s entered. Karina soon finds herself caught in a violent civil war where those with inhuman powers strive to destroy each other without mercy. And it becomes all too clear that she must make a choice: submit and become a pawn, or take hold of her own destiny and fight for survival against impossible odds. Alphas: Origins originally appeared in Angels of Darkness. Praise for Ilona Andrews and the Kate Daniels Novels “Ilona Andrews pens my favorite flavor of keeper novel: tough characters, marvelous voice, fast-paced with that sharp edge of humor that adds the final grace note.”—Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fire Touched “One of the brightest voices in urban fantasy. Ilona Andrews delivers only the best.”—Jeaniene Frost, New York Times bestselling author of Bound by Flames “Gritty sword-clashing action and flawless characterizations will bewitch fans.”—Sacramento Book Review INCLUDES A TEASER FOR MAGIC SHIFTS

A reread as part of an anthology I'm reading. Another interesting world the Andrews have created, though there is of course less world-building and character development since this is a novella.

robinb I haven't made it to this series....yet. 😉 7y
Chachic I think this is the only one of theirs that I haven't read. I remember people mentioned that it's not something that most of their fans will enjoy? 7y
ScientistSam @Chachic I think that's fair, as I enjoyed it but nowhere near as much as their various series. A woman gets pulled into a world where even the good guys are pretty monstrous, and are mutants reminiscent of some of the characters in the Edge series. @robinb this one is kind of a standalone and not as appealing as most of their other writing, but I pretty much feel like I need to read everything Andrews publishes! 7y
Chachic I'm going to read it eventually, if only to be able to say that I've read everything they've written.😂 7y
robinb @ScientistSam thanks! Now I'm intrigued. I think I'll have to read it too. 😊 7y
