Guardian Seductress

What if we lived in a world where a race from an alternate reality existed on the energy produced by sexual relations with human and the future of the human race is held in the palm of one man and his alien guardian?

Up and coming businessman Alex Ryan has buried his beloved father and in doing so has lost the last family member he remembers ever knowing. Fresh from the gravesite, he is confronted by former lover, Kate Summer, who inexplicably attempts to murder him. Out of necessity Genesis Enki, who promised her best friend Kalika Enlil that she would protect her son at all cost, materializes and saves Alex’s life, and Alex realizes that Genesis is the ideal woman who has haunted his dreams for years. For survival’s sake, Alex and Genesis must give in to their overwhelming lust for each other because Alex is the possessor of the elusive spirit boost, that rarest form of kundalini, or sexual energy, which does not deplete the donor. Can the cambion, or half-breed Alex, truly be the salvation of the Inanna and Sebitu races and will Genesis be able to keep him safe from his enemies long enough to find out?

Welcome to the world of Emsharra, a world set in a parallel universe where the warring Inanna and Sebitu races, both of whom live off of human energy, have formed an uneasy truce due to the depletion of their human food supply. Ms. McKeever has created a vividly imaginative world, complete with its own language and culture, and Guardian Seductress is an impressive introduction into that new world. This story truly provokes the thought of what if there was life out there besides us and we were the prey rather than the hunter. While this reviewer would have liked to see certain portions of the book developed a little further, especially the back story surrounding Alex’s conception and the somewhat contrived instantaneous acceptance of Alex by his royal grandmother, this brief but powerful tale took this reviewer on a wild ride through a fantastical tale that will resonate long after the last page is turned. Genesis is strength personified and Alex proves to be her match in all ways. This story is hot, hot, hot and any reader that likes fantasy and doesn’t mind explicit language and sex will absolutely love this tale as much as this reviewer did!
