Flower Shields by C.A. King

5.0

Flower Shields (A Four Horsemen Novel Book 1) by CA King is her first book in her A Four Horsemen series. This book is a paranormal story with demigods and demons. This is another awesome book by this author. I know every time I pick up this author's books, I know that I am in for a journey that I won't be able to put down. This one is no different and she did not let me down. I read her story in one night, I just couldn't put it down. I loved her creativeness for details that make this story flows. Her writing style is such that she will pull you in from the first word until the very last. Her characters in this story are connectable and lovable. They will pull you into their world of demigods and demons like no other. This is the story of Tara and the four horsemen. Tara has not had the easiest life and is now looking for a job. When an old family friend offers her a job, she accepts not realizing what she is in for. She seems to have a stocker but not sure why or who he is. Is she safe? In walks Michael, one of the horsemen. His job is to keep the gates of hell safe. The only way to open the gates is by the four keys. What does Tara have to do with any of this? Could she be a key holder? When Tara finds out about who she really is, will she understand? These are two strong characters that you will fall in love with. Tara reminds me of this tiny little mouse with everyone until she is put to the test. Then a rage seems to pop out and she finds courage she doesn't normally seem to have. Michael is the handsome horsemen who is feisty, likes to grumble to himself, and likes Tara but won't admit to it. He is determined to keep the gates of hell closed and to keep Tara safe. The secondary characters in this story are just as strong. Some are not who they really seem to be. We get to meet the other three horsemen in this book but we don't really see to much from them. I can't wait for the next books in this series to see more of them. All of the characters really make this story for what it is, it wouldn't be the same without them. There are a few of twists and turns in this story that you won't believe until you read them but they will keep you reading. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to see what happens to Tara and Michael!
