Readers love to share about books they’re reading. We asked readers to recommend a book they enjoyed which most of their friends had not read. We’ll be sharing what we learned and hopefully you’ll find a new book to read. I know my TBR list will be growing as we get introduced to all these books.
Today Jenny from The Review Loft is sharing âžś THE AFFILIATE series by KA LindeÂ
K.A. Linde is known for her angst-driven contemporary romances but she’s even better at creating a world of fantasy, which is truly saying something. The Affiliate series is fantasy but don’t let that scare you off. I never used to read fantasy but when a series like this one comes along, it’s worth the genre jump. Linde has a knack for creating a detailed world with a strong, respectable, admirable heroine surrounded by tempting men and adrenaline-inducing scenarios. Once you enter the world of The Affiliate you won’t want to leave. Linde is currently working on the anticipated third installment of the series. Bonus: the audiobooks for this series are very enjoyable. The narration is above average and adds to the intensity on the page.

Determined to discover what this means and how to use her newfound abilities, Cyrene sets off for the distant land of Eleysia. An island nation where Affiliates are strictly forbidden from entering.
