Not bad writing but not my cup of tea.

A very interesting story that captivated me from the beginning. Though if I’m being honest, the last few chapters I just couldn’t put them down.

I really enjoyed the world created (or should I say worlds…) and how everything was introduced to both the characters and readers. The fantasy in the story keeps us wondering, the suspense hold us to the book and the romance keeps us hoping for a happy ending.

As a werewolf, vampire and all supernatural fan I really enjoyed how they were characterized and the way it was talked opposing to what is usually seen or read but still kept some similarities.
This is an ease read book great for any occasion and fiction lover.

I would definitely recommend this story to any fantasy, suspense and romance enthusiasts.

Finally, I want to thank Denna Holm, the author of this book, for coming up and writing this amazing story.

Keep quiet. Hunt the bull. And at the right moment shoot.
The beginning of this book takes you straight into a hunt. Two women go for a six-point bull then to be spooked by a wolf.
In chapter two it’s all turned around, to a point I was thinking what?!
This story for me was a faced paced romance and as much as Jada fought it the beast inside her was set free and found love. A mixture of Lycaeonians, vampires, and other worlds. I don’t want to give too much away but it’s a great ending to see this going further and be raunchier. I’d love to see this book adapted and another book created.
Nice!
This is my honest opinion and review of this book, I was lucky enough to get a free copy of this book from the author through twitter. (Book reads).

Dark Warrior is a super quick, super fun, read. I’m usually tentative when it comes to stories of this length, yet I adored this one. I really was pulled in, and I would love to see this story result in an amazing series.

In all honesty, I’m not quite sure whether to label this story as science fiction or fantasy. It’s one of those wonderful stories where the line blurs in the most wonderful of ways. We’re given fantasy creatures – vampires and werewolves – yet their existence is due to a science fiction element – another planet. It truly is a wonderful merge of the two. It made for a very interesting story, giving us the kind of wonderful world building that pulls you in deep. I could say so much about this alone; just know it’s a great way to mix the two elements together. Admittedly, I would have liked a little more depth to it, yet I feel as though such a thing will come should future stories be released in this world.

From the start, this story has action. It feels like a bit much as you’re unsure about the world, but once you’re a couple of chapters in everything comes together so well. The confusion is lifted, the characters wiggle into your heart, and the story moves at a rapid pace. It really is a wonderful story – my biggest complaint being that I wished the story were longed. I would have loved to spend even more time in this world, with the characters and their story. I really do hope there is a sequel – if not with these characters, at the very least I hope they make a cameo appearance so that we get a glimpse as to how their life progressed.

If you’re looking for a shapeshifter story with a refreshing twist, one that will pull you into the world and leave you unwilling to put the story down, then Dark Warrior is for you.

This was my first time reading a "shapeshifter" story, and you know... it wasn't too bad. I thought the author set Jada's character up very well, as well as introducing her to Bryce and Vaughn's fantasy world. I wish there would have been sex in this book, but maybe this will come later on in the series?

All in all, pretty good. Fantasy/supernatural usually isn't my genre of choice, but this book ends well enough that I wanted the story to keep going.
