Indigo Dawn by Elle J. Rossi

5.0

---

Indigo Dawn by Elle J Rossi is technically the first book in the Josie Hawk Chronicles. I have read the prequel, Alabaster Nights and loved it! I have just found out that there is a second prequel called Crimson Beat which I need to get my hands on. Thankfully all the books in the series can be read as a standalone story. Keller and Josie cannot stay away from each other. They are like a magnet. Keller is a vampire and Josie is the Huntress. They shouldn’t be close but they are destined to be together and destined to be partners as well. Josie and Keller watch the streets of Nashville at night, to make sure paranormal entities are behaving. (Never likely.) One night, Josie is drugged by a pixie named Esmeralda. However, she isn’t the only one. Behind Esmeralda is someone more dangerous making a power play with the Assembly.

I LOVE a good paranormal romance. This book has evil beings, sexy vampires, badass females, politics, romance, mystery, and suspense. This is the first full-length novel in the series and I am so glad because the prequel was just a taste of the world Elle J Rossi created. I love the different factions (vampires, witches, demons, pixies) and their political intrigue. Each group has its own rules and they usually protect their own. However, when Josie is friends with different factions, it makes it that much more interesting. She is like a bridge between them.

I also love Josie and Keller’s relationship. Josie can be stubborn. Keller can be protective but when they are in sync, they are unstoppable. I love their humor. They play off each other and they bring a lightness to a dark story. I can’t wait to read more! I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
