Ancient Enforcer by Katie Reus

5.0

"Ancient Enforcer" is the high energy, action packed third installment of the "Ancients Rising" series by Katie Reus. Readers finally get the story that has built for two books between, Avery, a human, and Mikael, an ancient dragon shifter. You do not need to read the other books in the series to enjoy this story but some characters do carry over for book to book. Reus had introduce Avery and Mikael in "Ancient Protector", the first book in the series. I had been eagerly anticipating this story. The mystery surrounding these two characters kept me intrigued and Reus did not disappoint.

After The Fall, Avery found herself as the manager of a crew of construction workers, building and rebuilding homes for the displaced citizens of New Orleans. The work was familiar to her as it was something she had done before the fall. Having lived in New Orleans her whole life, she had always been aware of supernatural creatures.

Mikael and his brothers found themselves in New Orleans after The Fall. Since they had no family and no clan, they had no where better to be. After presenting themselves to the local Alpha, King, they were "assigned' to live and work with Avery and her two brothers. Mikael senses immediately that Avery is his mate. Avery's jaded past makes it difficult for her to form committed relationships and open herself up to love. When Avery's past shows up on her doorstep the couple find themselves not only battling her demons, but his too.

I discovered this series just after the new year and quickly fell in love with the characters and the world that Reus has built Because the characters appear in the other books the reader gets to know them and their cute quirks. I eagerly anticipate each persons story and will read each installment.

I can't recommend 'Ancient Enforcer' and the whole "Ancients Rising' series enough.
