Review: E lijah’s Vow is Abbie Carlisle’s debut novel and the first in The Order of the Mist series.

 I enjoyed this book but have to say straight out it is very sexually explicit.

The story takes place in the Northwest of the United States and begins with Jasmine in a small coastal town on a much needed vacation. She is soon pulled into The Order of the Mist’s battle for their survival. The Mist is a race that has been around for several hundred years. Each member of The Order has their own unique gifts and skills, which helps the group to survive.

I loved how the some history of the Mist came out throughout the first few chapters of the book, but I feel some of my American friends would have trouble with some of the terminology as it is writing in British English, but on the whole they would grasp the story.

I would love a pre-quel to this book (even though I hate that expression) to enable me to understand more of the history of the characters, how they formed into the present group.

For a first book it’s a strong start & I can’t wait to read the next one to continue the story about Jonah.
