This is a prequel to the Seven Wardens series and tells the story of Nessie. Once I started reading, I had a hard time putting it down. It was a great introduction to the series and gives you some background on what happened for her to become known as the Loch Ness Monster.

She was a young normal kelpie, going off on her first on land adventure in her human form. I enjoyed all the different supernatural/paranormal creature encounters: a ghost, sea kelpies, humans, and possibly a human-kelpie hybrid?
Some of these encounters were dangerous but it seemed the greatest risk to Vanessa is to her heart. The pledge made by Nessie made with the sea kelpies is concerning; I wonder how this will play out in the main series, or if it will.

This book was well written with characters you can get invested in and a plot you want to see to the end.

Beyond the Loch is the prequel to the Seven Wardens series, which follows a young Nessie on her adventure to discover herself and unknowingly love.

I highly recommend reading Beyond the Loch. This is a perfect addition to the Seven Wardens series, and gives some additional insight to the events that occur in Macey’s story.

This is the prequel to the Seven Wardens series and follows Nessie on an adventure. It's the perfect addition to the series. It's fun, entertaining, and a little sad. It gives some insight into what happens in Macey's story.

CHARMING

I enjoyed this story so much as it followed such an original storyline.
The foundation has been set now for the following series and l have so many thoughts on what will happen next. I can't say much more for fear of spoilers. I urge you to read this series.
