Review: Undone by Sara Humphreys

If you haven’t read the first 3.5 books in this series then stop reading right now. While the first 3.5 books may work well as a standalone book, book four changes the game!

This is the tale of Marianna (Purebred Amoveo) and Pete (Purebred human... or so he thinks). When we first meet Marianna of the Kodiak Bear Clan in Untamed, she is shocked to learn her father’s true role in the Purist Movement (Purist; noun; group of purebred jerkfaces who feel that Amoveo’s should not mate with anyone other than Amoveo’s; i.e. Hybrids, Humans, Other Supernatural Beings, etc.). Now that the Purists have been revealed, Marianna runs away to New York to make up her mind about which side her loyalty lies on. She hangs out in a club in Manhattan run by vampire Olivia and her coven (but that’s a horse of a different color). Now her twin brother Dante is mated with Kerry, a hybrid from the Panther clan, and while she loves her brother, she isn’t sure how she should feel.

Dante hires his friend Pete to protect his sister from both her own reckless behavior and the Purists. Sparks immediately fly between Marianna and Pete, which confuses both of them. Up till now, she hasn’t found her mate yet, either in real life or in the dream plane. Amoveo’s first connect with their mate in the dream plane which strengthens the psychic bond that they share. Now Pete pretty much just thinks he’s got the hots for her and she could never love a guy like him, after all, he is just a human and not her mate.

Well, they are both in for a rude awakening when they find out that things aren’t always as they seem...

Ya see Pete, well, Pete is... special... not fully human, and he isn’t a shifter either... can’t tell ya what he is cause that would give too much away but let me tell you that when you find out, you better hold on to your britches cause they are going to get blown off!!!!


This story has everything... romance, intrigue, drama, sex- OMG the sex... we are talking on a snowmobile in the middle of winter!!! Mystery, suspense, action, secret babies... I laughed, I cried, I feel like I ran a damn marathon! Sara Humphries has truly created her own world. Her next book to be released is Tall, Dark and Vampire, which is a spin off to vampire Olivia’s story and I can’t wait to get my hands on that in August. I give this a very enthusiastic 5 stars and will be telling anyone and everyone who listens to me to give it a read, they will NOT be disappointed!

Author Spotlight & Giveaway: Sara Humphreys

Ever wonder what goes into writing a story? The plotting and research that an author does? Where the inspiration came from for a particular character? There are many hidden secrets or information that we wouldn't know about the book or writing process. A lot more goes into the writing than we think! Here are some interesting facts you may not know about the Amoveo Legend.

 *UNLEASHED, the first book in the Amoveo Legend series is set in Westerly, RI where my family has a beach house. I wrote the original version while staying there during the summer of 2008.

 *My sister, Kate Taney, is an actress and portrays Samantha in the video trailer of UNLEASHED.

  *I adore New Orleans! After staying at the Hotel Monteleone and hanging out in the famous Carousel Barn, I knew I had to use that as a setting in one of my books. Both the hotel and bar are featured in UNTOUCHED and we even did a book signing at The Carousel Bar in The Hotel Monteleone the week UNTOUCHED was released.

 *UNTAMED is set on Woodbine Farm which is a real place in Maryland that is owned by my cousins. The farm has been in the family for generations and we have huge family reunion there every five years. While at the reunion during the summer of 2010, the idea for UNTAMED was born.

*In every book, I use at least one family name.

*All of the heroes have piece of my husband in them.

*The music in the Amoveo Legend video trailers is by the amazing singer/songwriter, Amy Petty. She and I connected through a mutual friend and she was kind enough to let me use her songs in the trailers. You can check her out on itunes. My favorite song is Long Way Down, which is the song in the trailer of UNDONE.

*If you pre-order UNDONE and send me proof of purchase to sara@novelromance.net then I’ll send you a free UNDONE pin. Offer good until May 6th or quantities run out! All the details are on my website www.sarahumphreys.com
