Review
Ayala is a mediator so when a demon pops up it’s for her
to eliminate the threat it poses to normal humans. Being a mediator isn’t her
only job either she also spends her days working for a PR firm but if it was up
to her boss with all the days she misses she would be gone. Ayala was raised
with the mediators so she doesn’t know her birth mother because the moment she
was born her purple eyes set her future. However she hasn’t given up hope that
she’s out there somewhere but when a lead takes a new twist Ayala finds a new
species of demon.
At first Ayala thinks the new demon is a hybrid that is
evil after fighting four that are killing humans but it’s the fifth one that
makes her question her original thoughts. The more she gets to know Mason the
more she learns about what might have happened to her mother as well as what the
shades really are. Ayala doesn’t date even her fellow mediator who has a long
standing crush doesn’t interested her. However with Mason she finds something
she’s been looking for. As the mediators get close to wiping out the shades
will Ayala be able to save them as well as her the people she cares about?
I like Ayala she doesn’t form strong friendships but when
you’re an mediator it’s a risky job. She’s tough but still very girlie I liked
that right away about her. I love the chemistry between Mason and Ayala it was
interesting to see her get over her dislike of hybrids and find what she
needed. I’m not sure how I feel about how the book ended them but I have high
hopes for the next book.
I picked up Storm in a Teacup purely based on the cover
it’s just telling me I need to read it. I wasn’t sure what to expect other than
a quick glance told me it was going to be an urban fantasy. I instantly was
drawn into Ayala’s fast paced world as a mediator she spends a lot of time
slaying demons so she’s on the go. While the concept is a typical urban fantasy
I think the author does a great adding her own unique twists to create an
exciting new world. Storm in the Teacup is a fast paced action packed adventure
that captures the heart as well as the imagination. I loved Ayala she’s unique
and I found her character easy to connect with I couldn’t wait to see what
would happen next. I actually finished the book in one day having a hard time
putting it down because I had to know what was going to happen next. I really
enjoyed the story and I’m looking forward to the next one.
