Raine Down (The Shadow Guardians, #1)Raine Down by C.B. Samet
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story really swept you away at the very part of the reading! I was pulled in with the plot, the characters, as well as the enchanting stories that come together and made this beautiful book!

Raine and Will were amazing characters. Both are different minded, but still strong separate, but even more stronger even when they were together. Both were compelling characters with strong characteristics! Loved the paranormal aspect of the story, the danger, the action, etc. Sometimes what haunts our nightmares or is looming in the shadows or the darkness is not that far from home, I loved how I read this book, I questioned things I take for granted every day with thoughts, The story was exciting and sensational! Loved it!

I loved this book so much! I am very much in anticipation for the next novel! The book was a must read for me, and I know for so others as well Highly recommend this enchanting book as well as the author!

4 Stars

 

“Ragnarok happened. Asgard and the nine realms fell. Millions were wiped out—Asgardians, Frost Giants, Dark Elves, Light Elves, Dwarves, Vanir. Those who survived hid on earth and bloodlines mingled,” Raine explained when the guacamole and chips arrived.

 

“A secret war was being waged, and both sides rarely took prisoners.”

 

Rain Down is the first book in The Shadow Guardians series by C.B. Samet. It is a engrossing, action-packed urban fantasy with a bit of a romantic suspense storyline. This story grabbed me right from the outset with the whole Shadow Guardian concept then add the serial killer/FBI component, mystery, suspense, danger, intrigue, crime and investigation, secrets, tension, prophecies, Norse mythology, agendas, chemistry, sizzle, magic, and plenty of adventure- made this story one I didn’t want to put down. This sets the series off to a fantastic start, and I am totally invested in reading the rest of the series as it releases.
Raine and Will were really great characters to follow and get to know. Even if I wanted to shake them at times because they frustrated me with their internal dialogue, or lack of communication.
Can’t wait for Storms Surge (Book #2) to release!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, C.B. Samet!

Raine Down: An Urban Fantasy Adventure (The Shadow Guardians Book 1) by C.B. Samet Reviewed by: Jasmin Slagle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Raine is a Shadow Guardian entrusted to stop crime of the supernatural variety. Will is an FBI agent, he of course catches normal criminals. Except, one day he and Raine are after the same person (not human, by the way). Slammed accidentally into each other’s lives may not have been such a bad thing.

Raine Down (The Shadow Guardians, #1)Raine Down by C.B. Samet
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Raine Down is an urban fantasy tale that is full of action and adventure. An engaging tale that is the first book in the Shadow Guardians series and the first book I have read by this talented author.

With a hot FBI agent, sexy Valkyries, a secret battle. murder and mayhem, new realms, there is everything for all lovers of this genre.

CB has woven an interesting plot that is a smooth blending of threads to create a fast paced paranormal/supernatural story with exciting realms. The characters are well written, and the journey begins where FBI and Valkyrie meet and there is more at stake than the job. It is a gripping tale immersed with Norse mythology.

Raine Down is tense, and the suspense kept building as Raine, and Will chases an assassin who left a trail of bodies behind. If only the ending ended on the same note, I was a little disappointed, but I am excited to see what CB has in store for us next.

An ideal present for someone for Christmas.

Raine Down (The Shadow Guardians, #1)Raine Down by C.B. Samet
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yes. Yes, please. I ultimately view myself as a strong, independent, fierce heroine in my own story, so whilst reading novels of any genre, but especially that of the supernatural variety, I melt. Raine, the Shadow Guardian, is a fierce woman, one that has stepped up to the plate to take on those that your every day Jane couldn’t seen, nor would be bothered if given the opportunity. Meanwhile she’s out kicking butt and taking names and working on taking down one of the baddest bad guys to walk this world, and others.

I respect that we can’t always do everything ourselves, which is where Special Agent Will comes into play. He feels he’s got the information he needs to come out on top and show everyone (and everything) that he’s got what it takes to take down the most notorious killer/evil out there. He doesn’t seen Raine coming, nor the information she’s about to drown him with. I love the chemistry, sizzle that comes off these pages, the need for that win, and the pat on the pack that comes from really defeating the evil that walks this world. The descriptive nature that this author brings to the table is like no other I’ve read as of late, and I stayed up way, way too late finishing it up. I cannot wait until February when the next installment is released. Highly recommend picking this up, you won’t regret it!

Wow! This is one intense story. I loved it. The action is fast paced. The mixture of human/paranormal is exciting and most intriguing. The chemistry between Will and Raine sucked me in right from the start and I was totally invested. I loved the fact that she fought it but eventually was worn down. The writing is so fast paced and just grabs you that you can’t put it down. You just want to keep reading to find out what’s next. I can’t wait for the next book.

Raine Down (The Shadow Guardians, #1)Raine Down by C.B. Samet
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Raine Thoren is shadow guardian who saves FBI special agent Will Decker’s life when their cases collide. Both are used to working alone. However, with their cases being one in the same, they have to pair up and find answers in order to hunt down their serial killer. As their case progresses, can they stay focused on the task at hand? Or will their feelings for each other cause them to become distracted?

This was such a fun read that I didn’t want to put it down! I enjoy reading stories about crime that is otherworldly being solved by a mixed task force of normal humans and humans who have special powers. What I enjoyed most about this book was the mix of Norse myths and magic. Both Raine and Will have ancestral ties to more than they understand. This was a great first book to a promising series! Looking forward to the next book!

Raine Down (The Shadow Guardians, #1)Raine Down by C.B. Samet
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A fantasy thriller that ties in Norse mythology and harsh realism of today’s concepts. We follow the adventures of Raine and Will, their worlds colliding as they chase the culprits that intertwine them. With both humor and romantic chemistry between them, the duo faces hardships and challenges, and blood is spilled within the first few pages. As they learn to become partners, the reader is easy to join in their conversations and small moments with glee.

Overall a good, fast-paced read for the first part of a trilogy. Good start, happy to anticipate the upcoming books.
