Jewel of Darkness by Quinn Loftis


Dalton Black never thought he'd find his true mate. His dark past convinced him that he could never be worthy of one, but the Great Luna did not agree. She saw fit to give him a gypsy healer, the purest of heart among their kind. And now that he's finally found her, she slips through his grasp and into the hands of Volcan, a corrupt high fae driven mad by his own need for power. Now Dalton, with help from his own powerful friends, must find Jewel and rescue her before Volcan can use her blood to create witches and once again throw off the balance of good and evil.

As their journey begins, Perizada will once again lead a group of wolves on a hunt to bring down evil, but little do they know that Volcan is just a drop of blood in the sea of supernatural beings about to darken their path.

Prince of Wolves (Grey Wolves Series Book 1) by Quinn Loftis

   Seventeen-year-old Jacque Pierce sat at her window watching the Henry's house across the street.  They
were expecting an exchange student tonight and in a town of only 700 people it was a great piece of news for her and her friends, Sally and Jen.  What was even better was that the exchange student was a guy.  She watched a limo pull up and the most beautiful guy she had ever seen stepped out.
 "When you say gorgeous" Jen started, "are we talking Brad Pitt boyish good looks, or Johnny Depp make ya want to slap somebody?"
 "No we're talking Brad and Johnny need to bow down and recognize..."
Before he stepped into the Henry's house he looked straight up to her window and it felt like he was staring straight into her eyes...
   Fane was a Romanian and the "crown prince" of the huge grey wolf pack that his father was the alpha of.  Fane was next in line to be alpha.  Because of this he was covered in markings that looked like tattoos on the back of his shoulder coming all the way around to the front of his body.  It was to show all other wolves his stature in the pack.  He never thought that coming to America would change his life so drastically.  Then he saw Jacque the night of his arrival.  Fane knew almost immediately that she was his one and only mate.  Wolves only have one mate and its for life.  Mates can speak into each others minds and they both wear matching puzzle-piece type marks, although the female's marks are usually on a more hidden area (such as the back).  The only problem is that Jacque does not even know that werewolves are real.
   Jacque, on the other hand feels like she might be losing her mind.  Fane starts to speak to her mind and it freaks her out.  Then she finds out that it is Fane speaking to her and after about a day of knowing who he is she is feeling insanely jealous of any other girl flirting with him.  It takes a very short time for Jacque to fall completely in love with Fane.  But there are so many things she does not know or understand about who he is and even who she is.  It is unknown to her for a while that she also carries grey wolf blood through her veins.  Her father was a full blooded grey wolf and left her mother before she could tell him she was pregnant.
   Not long after arriving, Fane finds out that there is a pack of grey wolves around the area Jacque lives in.  There is no record of them, which is going against the laws of the wolves.  The pack leader named Lucas says that he has already claimed Jacque as his future mate.  Fane assures him that he could prove Jacque was not Lucas's true mate.  The markings had suddenly appeared on Jacque's back soon after Fane arrived.
   Things are changing so quickly that Jacque has a hard time keeping up.  Her mom lied to her about who she really was, she was a mate to Fane who could converse with her just with their minds, she is already crazy about him and some other wolf is trying to claim her.  She was feeling very overwhelmed.
   Things got complicated when Lucas challenged Fane for bonding ceremony.  There would be a fight to the death between the two of them.  Whoever was the victor would be bonded to Jacque in a special ceremony.  Fane's parents were being flown in to assure the fairness of the fight.  In less than a week's time, everything changed for them both.

   A very classic tale of two young adults falling madly in love.  The only difference being that this was forever.  In a world where relationships are very temporary, this is somewhat unusual.  But then again, there are many animals in the wild that do mate for life.  And the two of them do have animal blood running through their veins.  Their relationship develops overnight and it leaves Jacque reeling.  She was lied to by her mother for her whole  life because her mother had hoped she would live a normal life.  I would have been pretty stressed out and confused too had I been in the situation.  It's crazy to most of us that we would meet someone and instantly be in love with them and want to be with them forever.  But so is the world of the grey wolves.  This is their way.  To add to the stress on Jacque's life, she will have to move to Romania with Fane because he will be taking over the pack someday.  Then there's the whole bonding ceremony.  Saying some vows and such is not so bad.  But then again they also have to bite each other too.  Wow.  Now that is not really what you call traditional.  But it's the final way for Fane to mark her so no other can claim her as their own.  And  it will ease his aggressiveness.  The unmated males are very aggressive.  It's the female that balances them out.  But once it is performed, if one of them dies, so does the other.
   One of my favorite parts of the book:
"When a wolf lives so many years without his mate he can become volatile and aggressive.  The reason the female Canis Lupus are so precious is because they balance out the male's violent nature.  They bring peace to the battle that is constantly raging inside the wolf, especially the dominant ones..."

Elfin by Quinn Loftis

   Long ago, deep in the forest of Aldeon, the Forest Lords created a race full of magic, strength, intelligence, and cunning.  This race divided itself into two factions.  And so the light and dark elves came to be.  The Forest Lords were not pleased by the division of their creation, and so they removed themselves, watching as they fought and destroyed one another.  But the time has come for the Forest Lords to once again bring order and peace to their children, the time of the light and dark elves is over.  The time of the Elfin is just beginning. 

   Cassandra Tate was a normal 18-year-old girl, a senior in high school.  She was not the type of girl who was big on appearance.  Her best friend, Elora, drives a beat up Dodge Neon and is really into the Goth look.  She has black hair with red highlights, wears dark makeup and clothing, and has various piercings scattered throughout her body.  A very opposite end of the spectrum from Cassie.  Elora calls her mother Lisa because she does not like conventional titles.  Her thoughts are that  "we are all human beings who picked their noses as children in front of people without shame and then in secret as adults."  And then one night while Cassie is helping her dad with some files at work,  she stumbles upon a private meeting of the light elves.  She had no idea elves even existed until then and when one sees a glimpse of her during the meeting, she takes off and locks herself into a room next to the conference room the elves had been in.  Thinking she is safe she opens her eyes to Triktapic.  Trik is a dark elf who is there to spy on the light elves.  He is not just any dark elf, he is the dark elf king, Lorsan's assassin.  And he is only about a thousand years old....But  it doesn't matter what age they are.  They are all very beautiful and handsome.  Cassie and Trik immediately have a connection.  Cassie doesn't really understand what's going on at first.  She is falling all over herself for this elf guy who she knows nothing about.  She can't even think straight.  Trik knows what has just happened though.  He has found his chosen, his lifelong mate, his one true love.  The one thing he doesn't understand is why the Forest Lords would give him a human mate.  It is very rare, but has happened in the past to at least one other.  Explaining the whole thing about being a chosen is very difficult for Trik.  Cassie feels like she has fallen head over heels for him, but is hesitant because Trik is a dark elf.  He has done many bad things in his long life.  Those very dark things he has done are hurtful to Cassie although she tries very hard to understand them.  Meanwhile, Elora and her mother have to explain that they have known all along about the existence of elves.  Lisa owns a new age type shop and she just happens to know the queen of the light elves, Syndra.

   There is a law that all elves obey: "Humans are not to see the Elfin in their true form.  They are not to know of our realm.  If a human does see an Elfin in their true form their life is forfeit."  And Cassie had seen the elves that night.  She had seen through Trik's magic because she was his chosen.  As a result, she had also seen the light elves.  A chosen can see through the magic of the Elfin.  After meeting Syndra, the queen and king understand why she had seen through the magic and no longer want to kill her.  But there are so many other dangers to her.  Trik has a hard time keeping her safe from everyone because she is human.  He fears that Lorsan will come after her as well after he tells Cassie he will quit being the king's assassin.  During a party thrown by the dark elf king and queen Cassie finds out that Trik had not told Lorsan he was quitting yet and she thinks he never intended to.  After the party, she has to remover herself from the human realm to Syndra and Tamsin's palace (Tamsin is the light elf king) for her own safety from the dark elves.  Lorsan has one of his elves meet Cassie outside of the light elf kingdom for coffee.  The elf disguises herself as Elora and kidnaps Cassie.  Lorsan starts studying the long term effects of Rapture, a drink they were making to give to humans at the casinos they own.  Turns out it is highly addictive and brings out a whole new side to humans.  If it is allowed to stay in the human world it will destroy their world.  If Trik doesn't save Cassie, it will destroy him.  And if he does not realize his true position, it could destroy the whole Elfin realm.  No pressure...

   I like this book so much I could read it several times.  The bond between Trik and Cassie is crazy and so strong it causes physical pain to them both if they part ways any other way than amicable.  We get married and divorced all the time.  But the elves have a bond that lasts forever.  And to them forever is a long time.  Its also a long time to only want one person.  That is why it seems so amazing to me.  But the bond is not the only thing that makes this story good.  Cassie's best friend, Elora, is pretty awesome herself.  She has never met her father, and her mother still misses him terribly.  And yet, they do just fine together.  Elora can be one rough chick at times.  She is fiercely protective of her friend.  And in the end, she will give up everything to fight for her friend and for what is right.  

   Trik is an anomaly.  It seems like he is pure evil until he meets Cassie.  The more their relationship evolves, the more he starts to think about his actions and how they could affect her.  She brings light into his very dark soul.  Because of Cassie, Trik gets a second chance at the life he had before he was an assassin.  The Forest Lords give him his memories back and make sure he gets the chance to make things right again.  But the part where you find out who he truly is is a surprise!  So read the book to find out more elf secrets!
