Anna Wilkins is a prototypical housewife. She buys groceries, picks up the dry cleaning and hosts dinner parties.
Everything was picture perfect from the outside looking in until the life she was born to live collided with the life she was living. Her husband is murdered by a creature from another realm, a creature that is only visible to her. Through her pain, his death awakens a part of her she didn't know existed. She is then thrust into a life of Vampires,
Werewolves and Sexy Nephilim Warriors.
Drawn to her by a bond as old as their race, a Nephilim Warrior finds Anna at her darkest hour and seeks to arouse what lies dormant within her. The scorching sexual attraction she and the Warrior feel for one another may be beyond anything either of them can control...
“Let’s spar, Torch.” I faced him with determination.
He threw his head back and laughed. “You think you’re strong enough to take me on now, do you?”
I knew I wasn’t stronger than he, but in learning to control my flame, I had gained the knowledge that I was faster. The warrior inside the flame gave me confidence as she became one with me.
“You’re not afraid, are you?” I winked at him and then walked over to the wall, taking two sparring sticks off the rack, and tossed one to Torch. I sauntered back over to him, swaying my hips.
I was becoming a confident woman a force to be reckoned with. Before he could respond, I attacked, setting up high before striking low with my rod. This was my first mistake. I should have waited for him to advance first, since he was bigger and stronger.
He deflected, attempting to take my legs out from under me, so I jumped high, my feet
almost reaching the top of his head before he landed a blow to my back. Pain radiated
down my spine, but I took it in; it was fuel to my fire.
I kept in mind the three basic rules of fighting: release energy, reserve energy, and regenerate energy. I roundhouse kicked and he stumbled backwards. I smiled. We fought for what felt like half an hour before he finally pinned me to the mat. I promptly pushed my breasts into his chest and moaned. As he pulled back, looking startled, I slowly reached down and unsheathed the dagger that I had strapped to the inside of my thigh then ran the hilt of the dagger across his neck.
“Dead,” I laughed as he rose off me. “Never underestimate the power of boobs, Torch.”

Title-Destiny Of The Female Warrior
Series- Nephilim Warriors Book # 2
By- K.A. Young
Genre- Mature Audiences 18+-Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy
Blurb-
 Nothing has ever come easily for the last female warrior of the Nephilim. Now that Anna has found her place in the world, she has much to learn about her new role as Queen. As the mating bond becomes clear, emotions run high as one of the sexy warriors must step aside while the other takes Anna as his Queen and assumes the throne.
It is a wild ride, as Anna must return to Georgia to deal with a vampire that is waging war on residents of her hometown. Luckily, she has her best friend/paired sorceress Elise around to keep things interesting. Anna struggles to find the perfect solution that would allow her to remain loyal to her past as well as honor the responsibility of her present.
I sit on the small grassy patch next to his grave, unaware of how I arrived here, why I’m here, or even how long I will remain.  So much has changed in my life over the last year.  First, I lost my mortal husband, Joe.  Shortly thereafter, a Nephilim warrior named Eli swooped in like a whirlwind, turning my life inside out.  I rub my hand across the smooth granite headstone, stopping to trace his name with my fingers.  Joseph Adam Wilkins Born October 16, 1974 Died August 10, 2011.  It was raining the day of his funeral as if the heavens grieved over his passing.  I smile, remembering the life we shared, a time when I was oblivious regarding the supernatural world, believing I was merely human, and not the last female warrior of the Nephilim race.  It is strange how life unfolds, nothing is predictable when it involves me, a fact I am learning to accept.
I lift my head and look around the cemetery.  It looks different from how I remembered it.  My internal alarm blares loudly inside my head.  I have learned to trust my instinctive warnings.  I scan the area, assessing the perimeters for threats.  I hear rustling in the nearby trees behind me.  I turn to investigate; my vision is superb so I am puzzled why I can’t make out the face of the shadowy figure in the trees.  My hand, still resting on the headstone, suddenly feels damp and slippery.  I lift my hand to my face; blood covers it, but whose blood?

Title- Blood Kiss
Series- Nephilim Warriors # 3
By-K.A. Young
Genre-Mature Audiences 18+-Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy
 Blurb-
Julie manages her life the best way she knows how, by waking up everyday and putting one foot in front of the other, along with a little help from modern medicine. Most days she holds things together pretty well; as the mother of twin toddlers and a wife to a husband she can barely stand she still manages to keep up appearances and paste a smile onto her face. Until dreams of a sexy vampire plague her nights leaving her panting when she wakes.
Julie begins to struggle with her own urges though she dare not admit aloud that she now has a taste for blood. She longs to indulge her desire by taking the vein of the vampire that makes her quake with need. How much longer can she keep the creature inside of her at bay? Only time will tell if Julie is strong enough to resist her darkest desire or if she even wants to try.

“I’m still having the dreams.” I sighed and smoothed out my high ponytail as I stared at the large floor plant in the corner of the office to avoid Dr. Weismann’s scrutinizing gaze. I could hear him rocking back in his large office chair, something he always did as he waited for me to continue, but this time I wasn’t planning to divulge anything further. I scrounged up the courage to make eye contact with my psychiatrist of the past five years.
“Julie,” he began as he peered over his reading glasses. “You are well aware that it is unwise to withhold information from me. How am I to help you if you don’t trust me enough to confide in me?”
He set his pad aside, and then folded his hands in his lap. He was attempting his silent chiding technique. In as much as he had studied me to learn my patterns, I was also a diligent student. This would only last three to five minutes, and then he would sigh and glance at the clock to evaluate how much time remained in our session, which would leave a whopping three minutes. I had timed my delivery perfectly; just enough time remained for him to write my prescriptions, but not enough time remained to delve into the issue. I kept my face blank of any expression as I watched him complete his ritual and tear off my prescription from his pad.
“All right, here are your prescriptions; it’s the usual two hundred milligrams of Zoloft, ten milligrams of Ambien, but I’m upping your dosage of Klonopin to one milligram. You should see a marked difference in your anxiety. I reached out to take the scripts from him when he pulled them back. “Julie, you and I have made a lot of progress these past few years. You mustn’t allow your insecurities to set us back a bit­; you know can trust me.”
“I do trust you, Dr. Weismann, and I will discuss this with you when I am ready. I need a little time to process the dreams before I can talk about them. They’re… well, different than they used to be.”
His eyebrows shot up. “Different how?” I could tell he wanted to have this discussion now, but luckily, time would not allow us to continue.
I sighed, “I… I don’t know, they just are. Can I have my scripts now, I need to pick up the kids and get to the pharmacy, then the grocery store. I have a million things to do when I get home,” I pleaded with him to let this go.
He pressed the prescriptions into my open hand. “If you get shaky or have an extreme episode like you did last month, you take two Klonopin and have Bill call me. This is nothing to play around with, understand?”
I nodded and he opened the door. Thank the Lord God Almighty, I was out of there.
“You are not dreaming, Julie, and I am real. You know who I am; focus on my eyes and remember.” He caressed my cheek with one finger and I shivered as all my senses came alive. His scent surrounded me as glimpses of the past filled his eyes.
We were smiling, happily walking hand in hand through a field at night. The scene changed and we were in his bed, I could feel the satin sheets against my bare skin as I rolled on top of him, mounting him, digging my nails into his chest, his head falling back, lips parting in ecstasy. His arm snaked up around my neck, pulling me down to him, taking my mouth in a passionate kiss. Our tongues intertwining wildly as I licked his left fang, then his right, filling his mouth with my blood. A blood kiss always drove him insane with lust. He flipped me over and thrust into me in an animalistic way. I was just as wild as he was. I barely recognized myself. The scene changed, I was sitting in a recliner and he was kneeling at my feet, kissing the swell of my pregnant belly.
Upon that final memory, I fainted.

Prophecy of the Female Warrior
Favorite Lines “You always know and accept that life ends in death, but you also believe that you have more time than you truly do”
“I always heard tears were healing. With as many as I had cried, I should be the healthiest woman alive.”
“Van, what we are about to do to you next could cause you to get extremely loud. I’m going to have to put a magical gag ball in your mouth, so we don’t attract attention.”
“We could host our own show: The Nephilim Bachelorette. We could even throw in a few other warriors, just for the hell of it, and whoever is alive at the end of the show becomes the winner.”
Can you imagine finding out you are not only different but not human! Something more... Anna just lost her husband and finds out she has a destiny! A amazing destiny! Young is a fabulous author, I'm just sorry I waited so long to read her,

Destiny of a Female Warrior
Favorite Lines “I should have given you a choice, whether to stay or go. I was selfish; I just loved you so deeply I couldn’t fathom losing you.”
“The love I feel for him is stronger than my loyalty to Joe. I nod as I began to drop the shield, revealing everything, when a loud pounding vibrates the wall right beside us.”
“I still have hope that they will turn from this madness, but my loyalty lies with you and our people.”
Man who knew Dan would become such a crazy man! Eli and Anna I love them both!
Young does it again 2 hrs of drama, fighting, loving, and OMG moments! That ending OMG the surprises keep coming!

Blood Kiss
Favourite Lines  “Warrior, give me all you got.”
“Oh shit, Torch, you have fangs!”
“You and your sister aren’t human beings. No, she is a Nephilim warrior and you are a vampire, but wait there’s more”
“You are strong, brave and a hell of a warrior; I know you don’t like to let on, but you can’t hide it from me that you love like you live, with all that you are”
“Brother, you and I have some unfinished business, don’t you agree?”
If there is any people that deserve this story it's Torch and Julie! They are such great amazing Characters! Torch is such a proud warrior with such a tortured past and Julie she's Julie amazing and a great mom! 
These mates doesn't play around when they claim each other! I love it!
These 3 books were fabulous! Action packed, gritty, sexy, and paranormal fabulous thru and thru!
I loved it! The Nephilim are an amazing race, as are the new race of Vampire that Torch and Julie have created! I know this isn't the end because of Nyoka and Elise, at least that's what I am hoping for! Young is an amazing author who gives her readers exactly what the need!

I was given these books in an exchange for honest reviews (GHB)
