The Beckoning Shadow by Katharyn Blair
3.0
This is like an X-Men origin story but with MMA instead of an academy. Liked the fight and training scenes! Felt too long to get to the meat of the plot, but it was juicy once it finally delivered. I can see where the author tried to write in a ~tantalizing teaser to broadcast a second book, but it could've been better imo. I'll consider picking up the sequel when it's out only because I really liked Abigail, Saphira & Aldrick (making the guy who can turn to stone be from Samoa - I guess that's one way to reference to The Rock haha). Sam is unbelievably meh for a love interest, I was not feeling it.
