Tristan’s Escape by Dianna Love – a Review

 

Tristan's Escape

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo

Description:
Tristan doesn’t give a rat’s ass about holidays.  He was a fool just once over a woman, and that little moment of insanity got him imprisoned for four long years, so he’s never had someone special to share the season with and doubts he ever will. But December does matter to the other half-blood Beladors, known as Alterants, stuck alongside him on Treoir Island, which is why Tristan has been secretly teleporting them to Atlanta for short visits.  Sure, their goddess warned him not to teleport in and out of Treoir’s hidden realm without permission, but the goddess means about as little to Tristan as holidays. Screw her.  His secret trips are going great until Elaine “Mac” Mackenzie, the five-foot-six, red-haired genius Tristan never wanted to see again, steps between him and a powerful sorcerer with a deadly agenda.  If Tristan exposes his preternatural abilities, he’ll forfeit his freedom forever this time. And if he doesn’t, he’ll have to watch the one woman he’s never forgotten suffer at the hands of a powerful being.

Saving her may destroy his world, but losing her will annihilate his heart.  

 

 

Review:

Tristan’s Escape by Dianna Love is a novella that is part of her fantastic Belador series.   I love this series, and I love it’s heroine, Evalle. Tristan’s Escape revolves around Tristan, who is an Alterant like Evalle. If you have read this series, we know Tristan very well, as he has been a big part of this series. He is probably the second most powerful being, next to Evalle. When we last left off, all the Alterants are confined to Treoir Island, under the control of Goddess Macha. Unbeknownst, to the goddess and anyone else in Treoir, Tristan has the secret ability of transporting, and secretly helps his fellow Alterants with short trips to Atlanta to have some fun. They take turns, as Tristan can only do a little at a time.   Now Macha has called a meeting in a few days, and Tristan is desperate to get his sister back to Treior Island or face the wrath of their goddess, who is not very accommodating.   Evalle, is also returning for the meeting, as she works in Atlanta with the Beladors. Tristan does not want Evalle to know about his teleporting.

This is just the beginning. This being a novella, it is hard to do a review without revealing any spoilers. I will say that what follows is an exciting fast fun read that will have Tristan caught in a web trying to help his sister; putting him in against a sorcerer; and coming face to face with the women he lost years ago. I loved Tristan and Mac together, and can’t wait for more on them, as this is left somewhat open.   The story, which I devoured and finished in one sitting, was lot of fun and exciting. I am always amazed how Dianna Love continues to give us wonderful tense action packed stories. In Tristan’s Escape, Dianna outdoes herself by giving us such a great story in a short format. I really enjoyed this book, though I did miss my Evalle and Feenix. 🙂   If you have not read this series, you are missing a gem.
