About this ebook
Allison La Crosse, beginning a challenging family medicine residency, leaves the protection of her family. With the transfer, her worst nightmares come true. Her closely guarded mystical talents – those which seldom appeared before the move – unleash themselves from her confinement and reveal their presence with very little provocation.
Allison’s most terrifying power is her compulsion to cure the dying with her touch. Given her career, this gift would be valuable if she were not drawn like a magnet to the ailing person's every symptom. Some of which are fatal.
At the hospital and surrounded by life-and-death emergencies, Allison’s inability to manage her impulse turns deadly. When it does, her mentor, Brody, rescues her from her own demise. His resuscitation ignites an exciting and tempestuous bond between them.
Desperate for a cure, they join forces and embark upon a journey to uncover the origins of Allison’s lethal curse. In the midst of their adventure, Allison exposes a secret pursued by many...known by few.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Warriors of the Cross is definitely the book of the series that sets the foundation. It was actually a welcome reprieve from the first-in-series that bombard me with information and make it more complex to read than it should be. The characters were one of a kind and I still can't quite figure them out. Allie seems to be a strong female lead, but sometimes she lets little things get to her and I just couldn't understand why. She definitely created some unbreakable bonds in the story, but they were a far cry from the 'insta-love' that usually makes a story very corny. I liked how Mrs. Graves allows us to get to know Allie, Brody, and Clark at the same time that they're getting to know each other. It didn't bother me that the really juicy part of the story was towards the end because I loved reading how Allie dealt with her powers while ignorant of everything surrounding the mystery of them. I did get confused when a character mentioned in the beginning of the story showed up towards the end (because I didn't get their significance at first), but I think maybe it'll all be cleared up in the second book, Guardians of the Cross, based on the very cryptic ending. Can't wait!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5While this book maintained my interest, I found it confusing, frustrating and the characters not endearing. The protagonist, who is a med student, lacks basic logic and discernment one would think she should have (ex. a single female renting a room from a male off CraigsList, sight unseen, no deposit required - red flags all around!). I will say, in general, I'm not a fan of paranormal fiction but the description of the book intrigued me. A plus for me was the overall concept of good vs. evil in a religious/spiritual sense. The plot was interesting but I did not relate to the characters or find their actions/thoughts plausible. As a side note, there are numerous typos in the Kindle edition.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lately I have not really had any posts saying that the book I read was generally horrible. It's been to my pleasant surprise and general enjoyment that every author I have been approached by and/or won a contest from I've had the honor of reading what I think are some good writers to come. With that being said.Normally this genre of book I've been very picky in reading and coming to enjoy. I have to say when starting this book I was pleasantly surprised at the time taken to get a feel for my view of the character and to flesh out the coming quirks that would make me adore the leading lady. With each turn of the page I became to know more about each character and not just the one that was telling the story. I started to feel that pull I get when something really good is about to come out and then it gets hidden again. That desire to keep turning the page till the end of the story is figured out. All in all this has moved up to one of my favorites in my collection. Thank you to the Author for a marvelous read.
