Strength ( Mark of Nexus # 1) by Carrie Butler

Book Synopsis:

When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, her rumor-laced notions are shattered. Handsome, considerate, and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn't look like he spends his nights alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he doesn't look like he spends his nights alone, period.

Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation--and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety…

Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family.

They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she'll do--even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.



My Review:

Carrie is a relatively new author, and I was given the opportunity to read this book direct from her for an honest review.

This is not really my type of genre, but I actually truly loved it, the supernatural side to the book did take a while to get involved, but once it did I was hooked line and sinker.
It certainly wasn't boring up until that, I found it hard to put down.




Wallace is stronger than anyone can ever imagine, but upon meeting Rena she shows him how being gentle is not a bad thing, and they find out a lot about themselves that will help them in their ever distant future.

They connect,and for him that is something that he has never before experienced, because of his strength he has tried to distance himself from all other humans as he feared that he was too strong and would hurt them if he made a connection with him, so he kept to himself or with his own family.




Rena meets his family and they accept her into their fold, as they feel the connection between her and Wallace.

Introducing Cole, Wallace's twin brother, he too has supernatural powers of a different kind, but do they blend in nicely with Wallace's powers you will have to read it and find out.

He and Rena don't particularly hit it off straight away, but there is a reason for that and its a good one, but that too you will have to read and witness for yourselves.

Well done Carrie

4 stars from me








 A little about the author:

Carrie daydreamed her way through college—until they thrust a marketing degree into her hands, slapped a summa cum laude seal on the corner, and booted her out into a less-than-stellar job market. Instead of panicking at the prospect of unemployment, she used her Midwestern logic to steer into the skid and point her life in the direction she really wanted to go: writing out those daydreams.
