ARC BOOK REVIEW
Release Date-3/4/18.
The Gods of Greyfall was a delightful series of three novellas by A.J. Norris.
This was the first thing I've read by this author and I found myself pleasantly surprised.
I was fully engaged throughout and it was incredibly easy to get sucked into this vivid new backdrop.
The world created here was explained in an extremely coherent fashion and instead of experiencing barked facts I found that this was very cleverly interwoven into the present story.
This was great as sometimes authors can overcomplicate this process trying to cram everything in far to fast.
The Gods of Greyfall, I found, was so easy to follow along with.
So If I had to pick a favourite couple here, it would have to be Cutler and Jade.
I just felt incredibly connected to these two, their story and the fact that it felt like a love reconnected across aeons kinds moment totally touched a chord with me.
I mean I liked all our guys and gals but there two, well let's just they gave me that aw!! moment.
The whole mythological feel to this was also a winner with me, with its Egyptian, Bator and demon storyline.
And I also got to say here that I loved the fact that these rock hard warriors were so up and close with there pussies.
(and I'm not talking of the of the female sexual variety here, though they do get up and personal with those too if you know what I mean, wink, wink. )
I just loved that these Demon fighters pets were small cute meowing felines.
It just showed there soft and vulnerable side.
So having these three interconnecting stories really worked as it compensated for there length.
Giving us a much more in-depth portrayal than you would usually get in a short novella.
These were short insa-love, low-angst paranormal indulgencies that for me kinda worked.
They were really romantic and for me hit that sweet spot.
So lastly I just want to say I'm totally loving the front cover of this, like seriously it's so
eye-catching and all and if I was choosing this based on its cover it would get the full 10/10 for me.
So Give these a look if you like a bit of PNR I thought they were a great read.
Thank You to the Author for providing me with an ARC of (The Gods of Greyfall Collection) of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

THE GODS OF GREYFALL COLLECTION is an anthology of three interconnected novellas and is the first book I've read from author A.J. Norris.
In this altered universe kind of story, we find demons who feed on human blood and genetically engineered men and women who protect the human realm. It's loosely based on Egyptian history and each of the three novellas is centered around a different couple.
In part one, we're introduced to two guardians: Dru and Kalani. This one's a second chance romance and pretty much lays the foundation for the rest of the book. They're super hot together, no matter how hard they try to deny it!
Part two is about Riory (Dru's best friend) and Nadine. They have more of an insta-love connection, certainly insta-lust! We find out a bit more about the demon world.
Part three, I think is the shortest and is the story of Jade (Kalani's best friend) and Cutler who's the boss of Riory and Dru. Here, the Egyptian influence is more prevalent which is why I think it's my favorite part!
Overall, this was 3.5 stars for me (rounded up to 4 because I adore the cover)! I loved the concept of the story, the hints of Egyptian mythology Ms. Norris weaved in were great. And I liked the characters, each couple was awesome together and worked to bring life to the book. But because the collection is so short, I felt that a lot of details were rushed or overlooked. I would've enjoyed a more complete and intricate storyline! Told from various POVs with a happy (for now?) ending. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
