Talisman (The Talisman Series Book 1) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Naomi McDonald

Talisman: The Talisman Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked the idea of this story more than the story itself.

The story started out alright, but once the two main characters meet up the second time, it felt like they barely even had a connection on Alyssa’s end of things and they were already jumping in bed. It also felt like Rowan was pressuring Alyssa. An example without being spoilery – Rowan goes to get some extra clothes. Alyssa comments on him looking like he’s moving into her house and he blows it off. Then, he moves his clothes into her dresser and closet without telling her. But he’s expecting her to trust him, even though he’s pulling shady stuff. I didn’t like that vibe at all.

I did enjoy the mythological aspects of the story and the attention to detail.

All-in-all, it wasn’t the read I was hoping for, but it was entertaining.
