Babu's Bookshelf: King Hall by Scarlet Dawn-Blog Tour/Review

Blurb:
A fresh, meaty, sink-your-teeth-in-and-hold-on-tight new adult fantasy series kicks off with King Hall…

King Hall — where the Mysticals go to learn their craft, get their degrees, and transition into adulthood. And where four new Rulers will rise and meet their destinies.

Lily Ruckler is adept at one thing: survival. Born a Mystical hybrid, her mere existence is forbidden, but her nightmare is only about to start. Fluke, happenstance, and a deep personal loss finds Lily deeply entrenched with those who would destroy her simply for existing — The Mystical Kings. Being named future Queen of the Shifters shoves Lily into the spotlight, making her one of the most visible Mysticals in the world. But with risk comes a certain solace — her burgeoning friendships with the other three Prodigies: a wicked Vampire, a wild-child Mage, and a playboy Elemental. Backed by their faith and trust, Lily begins to relax into her new life.

Then chaos erupts as the fragile peace between Commoners and Mysticals is broken, and suddenly Lily realises the greatest threat was never from within, and her fear takes on a new name: the Revolution.

My Review:
Are you freaking kidding me? Seriously? Scarlett, right now I hate you!

Ok, I'll explain. King Hall is a story about 4 mystical creatures and their journey to leadership. There are some tragic things that happen as well, but I don't do spoilers. We follow these 4 through their training, their mistakes, and their friendship. They don't stick with convention and tradition, which is typical of new generations.

I have an indescribable fascination with paranormal/fantasy books. I don't know why, but they intrigue me and King Hall is no different. I had trouble getting into it until Chapter 3 and then I was hooked. I found myself thinking about the book when I was doing other things, it's that engaging. Now, the reason that I am furious with Scarlett Dawn: the ending. I'm used to cliffhangers and leading into the next installment. I was not prepared for how this book ends. Pissed about it. So upset, that I expect an answer as to when the next book comes out because I may go crazy waiting for it! Seriously. This book is that good. I hope we don't have to wait long because I don't want to miss anything going on with these characters. 4.5 out of 5!
