Venom & Vanilla by Shannon MayerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
**I received an e-book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**
---------------------------------
An action-packed debut in an imaginative new series! Shannon has a way with words that pulls you in and paints pictures in your mind.
Alena is a protagonist with whom it is very easy to empathize. Brought up within the confines of a very strict and unforgiving religion, Alena must now face some hard truths in order to not only survive, but to thrive, in her newly formed life. Unlike other female protagonists in Shannon's Elemental series and Rylee Adamson series, Alena has NOT been raised to be a warrior of any kind. In fact, if anything she was raised to believe that fighting back was a sin.
I love that she finds her solace in baking. (Maybe we'll be getting some recipes in future books?!) And, have a hard time deciding whether Yaya or Ernie is my favorite secondary character.
