Talisman (The Talisman Series Book 1) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Kerry Carr

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

This was an interesting read that I enjoyed. I loved how history and present day mix and I love the magic and paranormal elements in this story. This is a fated mate story which gives it a additional element that works well.
Alyssa Macaulay is our leading lady. She has just finished writing a thesis on Celtic Warriors and she is plagued by strange dreams of modern day Celtic Warriors. She doesn’t know what it means or if it’s just her overactive mind. When she meet Rowan she feels a connection although she doesn’t know what it is or how getting involved with him will change her life forever.

Rowan is a security guy during the day but at night he becomes a powerful warrior, protecting humans from evil forces and a fight that has been going on for centuries. Rowan however had a problem. Because of a curse on his family centuries before he needs to find his talisman(fated mate) before his 28th birthday else he loses the fight to be a warrior for good.
When he meets Alyssa he knows she’s the one but she’s going to take some convincing.

This is a story full of adventure and when Alyssa glimpses his world she sees all the paranormal beings that she wasn’t even aware existed before. Could she really be Rowan’s fated mate? Will she believe in time? Or will Rowan be doomed to return to the druid that cursed his family so long ago?

I can’t wait to see how this series carries on
