Yay. I am so excited. I used to read the books from the Cat Star Chronicles. In fact, I could not read them fast enough. The sex appeal that would ooze from the pages of the books were very appealing. So when this new series was introduced, I through now was a good time to pick up a book from Cheryl Brooks again. Which I have to say that I was not such a fan of the first book in this new series. Yet, I thought that I would try this book with the intention that I would not like it either. I was proven wrong.
Aidan is definitely a sex god. All it takes is just a look to melt any woman. Thus, I don't blame Sula for falling for Aidan. Yet, what also did it for me with this book is the humor. That is what I enjoyed the most about the prior novels. Additionally, this storyline was one that I could get into. It helps that I was really feeling both Aidan and Sula. I will be checking out the next book in this series.

I wasn’t expecting greatness and I appreciate someone trying to set their romance in space setting but yeesh this was not great. The 0 to 100 soulmate style romances always turn me off. Guys, if you’ve only known each other for four days you should not get married. Did the person you love die and you lived a year in paralyzing grief? Bet this dude you met 24 hours ago will fix it. Even the sexy scenes didn’t help this - snard?! What in the actual hell was the author thinking, “let’s use literally the least appealing sound possible.”

This review was originally posted on Addicted To RomanceI received this book for free from Sourcebooks Casablanca in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Mystic is the second book in the Cat Star Legacy series, and this is my first time actually picking up this author. This is also one of the ARC's I neglected last year and completely forgot about but I am making an effort on working on that list because the guilt is the worst lol and I have to say thanks to Sophia @Delighted Reader and her review, she had me highly intrigued and wanting to read this book and even though I am way late to the game with this book, I am so happy that I picked this book up because yeah this story was good. From the first few pages I was swept very quickly within the story and that doesn't always happen so Cheryl Brooks is definitely getting added to my list of new to me authors I have fallen in love with. I am also really eager to look at her other sci fi series and see how they connect to this one.
Sula is on the hunt for a virus, a virus that killed the man she loved a year previously, one that is more deadly than anything else and reduces one to ash when exposed. But with her on the hunt for the origins, she is also being hunted by the ones responsible who don't want her to know the truth and with her life in danger and alone she wonders how long she will make it. Until an angel appears and saves her life from some ariel creatures. Aiden is a Zetithian mystic, he has special abilities, a winged creature who can see parts into the future. While flying over the wild terrain, he sees Sula in danger and rescues her and takes her to his home. Even though both keep deep secrets from everyone, there is a connection between them and soon their secrets are revealed and join forces including some comrades that join them alongside their adventure to discover the truth.
Mystic was such a fun adventure filled story and I just love these type of road trip adventure sci fi romances, they are simply the best for sure. Mystic definitely had me falling quickly in love not just with the story but the endearing characters, the fated love, the mystery and danger aspect of the plot and plenty more. We also get a virgin for our hero, he is a member of a species that only mate once so it was quite different to see the heroine be the one with experience and be the teacher in the bedroom. Both Sula and Aiden make such a good pair, their story builds slowly, definitely not your typical fated love romance.
We such beautiful intrigue and delightful plot points that thicken with each chapter and with such engaging writing, you just fall deeper into the story in such a dynamic way that leaves the reader eager for more. I was so intrigued with where the story takes you and hope she continues with the series. I can't wait to grab up the first book.

Oh man. Ooooooh man.
You know. I don't think I can give this one a rating. Did this book include some of the wildest (take the how you will), most bizarre, and slightly gross descriptions of sexual acts and male genitalia I've ever read in a romance book? Yes. Did it bring me to hysterics because of it a few times? Also yes. So in this time of darkness, I appreciate that I had a few good laughs with this one.

Sula lost her beloved to a plague and is now looking to try and stop it spreading. But meeting the handsome and enigmatic Aidan may lead to her wounded heart healing a little.
Sula may be an anthropologist but she is also a little bit of an adventurer, even if she doesn't think so. Aidan is a rare type of shifter, one with wings and a legendary reputation among females! But he and his merry band of friends are Sula's last hope of curbing this disease.
Cruel experiments, unsympathetic corporations and unlikely heroes. Great romp through space, even though for its futuristic setting it was mired a bit in modern idiom. Just a little bit disappointing.
