Resolve ~ Jill Cooper

The epic two book finale starts here. The stakes are higher. And the enemy is one of their own.
It’s all come to this. This moment in time. Everything Natalie Johnson has fought for.

Newly promoted paladin commander Natalie Johnson is about to bring the demonire tracking system online. If she’s successful Meadow’s Creek may finally be safe from bloodsuckers. If not, the egg on her face will be enough to make a gourmet omelet.

But when old friends and foes begin showing up in town under questionable circumstance, it’s clear something new is on the horizon. The murder of a prominent official threatens to cripple the brittle peace Natalie has brought to town.

Alternate realities and timeline jumps all converge revealing truths, deceptions and worst of all, roads not taken. Natalie must face her worst fears, her biggest regrets, and most of all a deep longing that nothing will ever be the same again.

Meanwhile a long sought after ally brings them all to the brink of madness. And his betrayal? Could be the biggest heartbreak of them all.

In the tradition of young adult vampire fiction such as Twilight and Buffy the Vampire slayer, comes The Dream Slayer.

My review:

No one ever said being the leader would be easy and Natalie is definitely finding that to be true. Struggling to be the leader everyone needs, the girlfriend Tristan deserves and the daughter her father needs her to be Natalie finds herself falling down a rabbit hole desperately trying to keep control and not fail everyone.
In Resolve the line between Natalie’s reality and her dream world aren’t the only things that are blending together, alternate realities cause Natalie and her friends to question what is their true reality.

In the beginning I had a hard time following the alternate realities but once there was an explanation behind what was happening it all seemed to fall into place. Resolved showed the slayer growing stronger and developing unique abilities separate from the padaline all while Natalie’s world spiraled out of control. Unable to reconnect with Mr. Buckle, unable to get that night with Damien out of her mind Natalie is no longer the happy easy going girl she was when the series started. The book itself seemed to also evolve from the easy going story lines to something that not only deals with the conflict of society and technology but also the pressures of society. I couldn’t put this book down, a great lead up to an epic finale.

The 2nd part in the epic finale starts here.

Once [SPOILER] believed in her and now, one last time, Natalie will put everything to the test to bring him back.

But with half of Natalie’s team in critical condition, the fight won’t be easy. WOMP’s order to shoot [CENSORED] on sight to protect their vast empire of secrets will pit Natalie against the organization she’s been faithful to since she first heard the word paladin.

Now that relationship will be put to the test.

Natalie will find a way to restore his soul, no matter the risks. No matter the stakes. Even if it means revealing her identity and location to her mortal enemy. And the end?

Well, it might just prove to be the very beginning.

About the Author:

I could write this in the third person. I could tell you what I like, where I was born, and what my favorite things are.

But instead, I’ll say I don’t want to write like everyone else. I don’t want to craft stories you’ve read a thousand times before. I want my novels to be a cinematic experience, blending themes, genres, and situations unlike any you’ve ever read.

I want to break the rules. I want you to break out in a cold sweat as you read my books out of fear, love, and excitement. I want my books to be an experience. When you finish, I want you to feel something. Good or bad.

If you do, then I’ll have succeeded. If not, I’ll keep trying.
