Blog Tour & Review: Saving Kendrix
by Elle Christensen
Saving Kendrix is the 4th book in The Fae Guard series by Elle Christensen! I absolutely love this series, and fair warning they are more mature than most books we promote & review on BookCrushin, but the first book was very much new adult paranormal, but the rest of the series has evolved into other characters that do not fall into that age category, but that isn’t going to stop me from continuing to support the series! Hope you check it out & the first book Protecting Shaylee is FREE on all major ebook retailers – so give it a chance and then you will catch up!

Alysia
I’ve lived in shadows all of my life
Feeling empty, but never knowing what I was truly missing
I’ve been taught to hide my talents and be invisible
Until Kendrix walks into my life and sees me. All of me.
I know he is my destiny, but he is holding himself back
There is something he isn’t telling me
I’m afraid when the truth comes out, it will tear us apartKendrix
I made a choice to give up my soul and forever alter my destiny
I embraced abilities that I’d kept hidden
But they don’t make up for what I’ve lost
It seems a cruel trick of Fate that I finally met the one who was meant to be mine
And yet, I can never have her
My job is to deceive Alysia and ultimately, to give her up
But the darkness calls to me
Tempting me to hide in the shadows with her forever

Review:
[book rating=4.5/5]“There is no coming back from the darkness that will overtake me.”
Saving Kendrix is everything I expected it to be…and yes, I cried. Elle Christensen did it again! The book is steamy—extremely steamy (lol)—the plot was engaging, and I fell so hard for the characters! There was the usual silly sarcastic thoughts, which has become kind of Elle’s signature style at this point, and I absolutely love how many times she can make me laugh out loud while reading! I love her easy writing style, which makes it truly feel like I am right there watching these scenes play out in front of me. This book was a little darker than the previous titles, but it was dark in a way that had me full of suspense.
I told Elle that as soon as I found out Saving Kendrix was the next book, I knew was going to cry…and I did. Real tears, damn it. If you have read the series so far, you know Kendrix was battling some crazy dark shit, but you didn’t know why or what or how. Of course we get all the details we need, and a lot of the overarching plot details are explained in his book. I was kind of shocked how much we learned.
Saving Kendrix is told in dual POV, like the rest of the series, but this time emphasis was definitely heavier on Kendrix’s chapters, which were still really dark and very entertaining. Kendrix & Alysia are very deep and caring people, and I absolutely adored them so much! They were both so emotionally and physically strong, I am not sure I could have endured what they both have lived through. I loved that we got a weird dual glimpse into the other worlds in this story, without giving too much away; we were able to see what it is like for the Fae living their lives in the human realm, as well as the dark & light realms.
As much as the story and plot unfolded as I turned the pages, I just knew, KNEW, something had to change by the end…and then my hopes were crushed. But you must keep reading! Most of books do not end on a cliffhanger, but the books really need to be read in order or you will be lost in the main plot. You also definitely need to read the epilogue, which does leave you hanging for the next book—plus it was so epic that I read it twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything!
This series is not to be missed and I think I loved this book the most, for different reasons, mainly the selflessness and strength shown that was the predominant theme in this book. If you like fun, engaging characters, hot romance, and a wonderful story, you definitely should pick up The Fae Guard series!
Author Info: Elle Christensen
I’m a lover of all things books, a hopeless romantic, and have always had a passion for writing. Between being a sappy romantic, my love of an HEA, my crazy imagination, and ok, let’s be real, my dirty mind, I fell easily into writing romance.
I’m a huge baseball fan and yet, a complete girly, girl. I’m an obsessive reader and have a slight (hahaha! Slight? Yeah, right) addiction to signed books.
I’m married to my very own book boyfriend, an alpha male with a sexy, sweet side. He is the best inspiration, my biggest supporter and the love of my life. He is also incredibly patient and understanding about the fact that he has to fight the voices in my head for my attention.
I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them!
