Talisman (The Talisman Series Book 1) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Melissa Saxton

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

Rowan has a lot on his plate: security firm by day (truly a cover) but under it all a Warrior fighting against a curse that was placed against his family by the Morrigan.
If Rowan can’t find his Talisman (also known as a protector) by his 28th birthday he’s left either becoming a slave to the Morrigan or a rogue warrior fighting for his life… and his 28th birthday is quickly approaching.
Alyssa is an overwhelmed graduate student trying to get through her dissertation on Celtic history. She’s recently had multiple losses including her fiancée just walking out on her and she’s at her wits end, only to come across footprints around her house suggesting she has a intended burgler or stalker. Knowing she needs a security firm she reaches out to Rowans firm but gets so much more than she bargains for… it turns out these two are the answers to one another’s needs and they didn’t even know it.
Rowan discovers secrets hidden from Alyssa and he also discovers who Alyssa is to him. Can Alyssa take on the role necessary to help break the curse of the Morrigan?

This story is full of adult themes and is spicy 50 shades meets Paranormal themes. There is a ton of dialog in some sections but if you can be patient it absolutely enriches the story but can go on in excess at times. This series will be intense and I’m intrigued for more.
