Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter (Dragonkind ~ 52 Realms) by Sheri-Lynn Marean is a paranormal fantasy romance story that you will find yourself getting lost in. Page after page will keep turning until you know what is going on and before you know it you are at the end of the story because you were so immersed in it. There are a lot of conflicting emotions for our hero in this story, loss and fear, sorrow and desire, conflict and hope, passion and guilt just to name a few. Sheri-Lynn describes the characters and the world in vivid telling which makes you see all that she describes. The story is well written and engaging and one that I recommend reading. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter (Dragon kind ~ 52 Realms #2) is action-packed suspenseful romance read from author Sheri-Lynn Marean. This is my first read from this author and I can’t wait to experience what else she has to offer with her other books. For one thing, let us just appreciate how unique, beautiful & powerful this front cover is….! WOW!!!

This was such an imaginative read, that totally captivates you from the start. It’s one of those reads that as your reading it, you can mentally picture everything, it makes you even more connected to this story as your reading it which then makes you feel as though you are there alongside the characters following their journey with them.
This book takes you on an emotional rollercoaster with both our characters Casstiel & Ashara with their past and their pain flowing through the pages. You are thrown twists and turns throughout that keep you wanting more, where you continue to try and figure out what will happen next but this author has created this storyline in such a way it’s not easy to figure out.

I absolutely loved how much of the fantasy theme was weaved throughout this read, with different places/realms and languages throughout, all the different types of beings we learn as well of this world as we follow Casstiel and Ashara story.
Each character in this story has many things that determine how they live their life now, and with the introduction of each other in their lives – will their connection grow stronger? Or is their past still holding them back from getting a HEA?

Can we also point out the secondary characters in this read, they help make this book get greater depth and help our main characters tell their stories even more.

This is a brilliant captivating and a beautifully imaginative book that should not be missed for all fans or Fantasy, Shifters and Romance.

Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter (Dragonkind ~ 52 Realms) by Sheri-Lynn Marean was a heart pounding, feels gripping read that had me hooked from start to finish.

My first read by this author and for this series. I am in love. This has probably been one of the best dragon shifter books I have read this year! I will say that I was a little confused at first, as this book is the second in this series, and picks up pretty much where the last left off. That being said, it was so well written that I was sucked in, just captured by the story. That opening, setting the stage for Casstiel, letting us not only see his pain, but has us experience it. That alone lets you know this isn’t going to be your typical love story. And now I need to read the book before, so I can get more of the story.

This book is full of those dreaded feels that makes you want to either slap the MC’s or hug them. Told in multi POV you get to see it from all angles and, get to see what they themselves had missed. The world building is outstanding, the info was giving at the right times, the detail was so on point I felt like I was standing with them, and watching first hand. That is what I love about reading, it takes you to all the places you didn’t know you’ve dreamed of.

I have nothing bad to say about this book, from the easy writing style, to the well built, well rounded characters, that had more character development then I thought possible, to the mystery that surrounds Casstiel and Ashara, this is a must read. That is why it gets my ultimate recommendation and my super stamp of approval. You will not be disappointment!

Happy Reading

I enjoy dragon stories very much. This is book 2 in a series and I was a little lost at times trying to follow the family tree as the story is being told. I had to muddle through the lines to figure out who was who in this large family. Once I was able to work it all out, I settled in to a decent read.

The two main characters in this book are so similar yet so different. Each ignore their base needs because they think their destiny is elsewhere. The male protagonist is kind of a jerk. The female protagonist is stronger than she even realizes and it was interesting to see the two co-mingle and work out their skeletons.

This is a very visually appealing story. At times I felt myself flying through the air and looking at the ground below just like the characters. The world building is interesting and I can see how this series can continue on for many books to come.

If you are a fan of this style fiction, I would absolutely recommend this book.

Casstiel was a good 4 star read.
This is my first read from Sheri-Lynn Marean and I was pleasantly surprised. This isn’t a genre that I usually read but Casstiel and Ashara pulled me right in with their story.

Casstiel lost his mate 10 years ago and before she died she severed their bond so he couldn’t follow her. Heartbroken and not understanding why, he goes through several stages of anger. He has also discovered that he is connected to another person and until that connection is severed he won’t be able to join his mate. Who could it be and why? Casstiel gets a shock when the person he’s been searching for walks into his life in a very unexpected time.

Ashara was held captive by the enemy several years, she was treated horribly and was kept as a breeder. She had several children that were taken from her. She is also a dragon shifter but has hidden it for years. Casstiel welcomes Ashara into his home and as they get to know each other their connection grows stronger.

Can Casstiel finally get what he’s wanted for years” Or will his connection to Ashara take over?

There is so much more to this story. My emotions were all over the place. The secondary characters were great. Casstiel’s daughter eventually grew on me, she was a little testy in the beginning. I really liked how Casstiel helped Ashara shift into her dragon and work with her. Even though he was a testy hot alpha male he still had a pretty big heart also. I was happy with the ending and I look forward to reading more from these characters.

This was an absolutely amazing read! I am quite new to this type of genre and I wasn’t sure if I would like it but oh my gosh I did! I loved every second that I read. I was hooked from the very first page until the end. The author took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. The story was full of love, loss, action, drama, heartache and so much more. The story was so well written, the pace and flow were excellent and the glossary at the beginning was a great addition to the story – it meant I wasn’t guessing the meanings of some of the words. I really liked Casstiel and the journey he went on to find his true love after she was murdered. There were some really good twists in the story too which made it even more exciting to read and I liked that I didn’t see them coming! Ashara was a good character too and I did feel for her a little. I enjoyed reading about the journey that Casstiel and Ashara went on together.
I thought this story really was a great read; the author descriptive language almost brought the story to life! I absolutely recommend this story – it was a brilliant 5 star read!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Casstiel; Born of Lightning: Dragon Shifter (Dragonkind ~ 52 Realms) is a paranormal romance by Sheri-Lynn Marean. Upon starting this novel, I quickly found it wasn’t just a simple paranormal romance, but much more. Interwoven in this story is suspense and drama, as well as, some of those paranormal aspects we see as a signature item in soul mate romances. This story can be read as a standalone, but I felt that there were some items I would have understood and followed more easily if I had read the novel prior to this one within the series. The story is highly creative pushing imagination to the edges of reality and tipping slightly over. The chemistry and character interactions were well written driving a captivating storyline for the main characters.
