Ever wonder what Levi was thinking in FLIGHT? Find out in the two Levi POV novellas FIRST & FOREVER. This combined edition includes both FIRST (previously released) and FOREVER, a brand new novella.This edition also includes the bonus short story: The Royal Wedding.

FIRST

Levi's got it all. He's a paranormal prince with more money and power than he knows what to do with, but something is missing—a mate. He only has until college graduation to find her. Allie's perfect but she wants nothing to do with him. When attraction becomes something more, will he take a chance and show her who he really is or will he lose everything?

FOREVER

Levi's almost out of time. Allie's the one, he knows it in every grain of his being, but how can he make her see it? Desperate to keep Allie safe and at his side, he takes the biggest risk of his life. Reckless or not there is nothing he wouldn't do to keep her with him... forever.

First & Forever by Alyssa Rose Ivy is a fourth book in the Crescent Chronicles by Alyssa Rose Ivy. It is a combination of two novellas told from Levi's point of view. First was previously released earlier in the year, and you can find my review here. In Forever, we see more behind the scenes with Levi and the pressure he's under. He knows Allie is the one for him, and now we see what's going on in his mind to take such desperate measures.

We also get to see the wedding. This is something we missed out on before, but now we get not only Levi's point of view, but Allie's too. I absolutely love these characters and their wedding story couldn't be more fitting.

Levi POV Novella

Levi's got it all. He's a paranormal prince with more money and power than he knows what to do with, but something is missing—a mate. He only has until college graduation to find her.

Allie's perfect but she wants nothing to do with him. When attraction becomes something more, will he take a chance and show her who he really is or will he lose everything?

First is a Crescent Chronicles novella by Alyssa Rose Ivy told from Levi's point of view. This book takes place during Flight, Book one, when Levi and Allie first meet. I enjoyed getting a glimpse into Levi's mind. It let me know what he was thinking and felt when they first met and how those things started to change and grow as they got to know each other. I really enjoyed his internal monologue as he took his first blows to the ego too. It was good for him. *grins*

Found Tour! Review and Excerpt of Found by Alyssa Rose Ivy!

  

Genre: New Adult (Paranormal Romance)

Published: July 16, 2013

Publisher: Self

The Blurb:

Levi might be hot, strong, and have a cool set of wings, but it's not enough to make up for keeping Allie in the dark.

Allie's tired of being left with more questions than answers. She's tired of loving a guy who refuses to level with her. Most of all, she's tired of her life spinning out of control.

Desperate to save Jess no matter the personal cost, Allie has to face the possibility that the only one she can trust is herself.

My Review:
Found is the third and final book in the Crescent Chronicles. If you haven't read any of the books yet, I highly suggest you do so. It's addictive. After seeing the cover, you may think that the series involves angels/fallen angels, but these guys are something different entirely. Now, don't get me wrong, I love a good angel story, but it's nice to have a little something unique thrown into the paranormal romance genre too. Alyssa Rose Ivy knows how to spin some original stories and create worlds that you wish really existed. That's how I feel about The Crescent Chronicles. I want it to be real. I enjoyed reading this book entirely too much, and I'm not at all ready for this series to end. This book was  full of excitement from start to finish. It introduces you to new characters and new places. I love Allie and Levi. Love them. I yelled at Allie a few times for the things she did. Levi got reprimanded a time or two too. But, that almost added to it. They aren't perfect, and that makes them easy to relate to. The supporting characters, like Jared and Hailey, all added to the fun of the story. I would love a Jared spin off. I was so caught up in the whirlwind that is Found, that it was all over before I knew it. Everything was wrapped up nicely though. There are no lingering loose ends to mess with my head. With that being said, I'm still in denial that this is the last book. I refuse to believe it. The whole series was full of drama, romance, bits of humor, and all around fun. This is a series you must read.
