I received this book in exchange for a honest review ~WaAr~
ADULT CONTENT 18
The Sands of Time by Dianna Hardy is the second book in the Witching Pen trilogy.
This book is filled with passion, romance, adventure, suspense, and all things paranormal. It does contain some BDSM. BEWARE AND BEWARNED. The writing is amazing and the story line just flows. I could not put this book down for the life of me. I loved it. I love the characters and finding out about the characters who where in the background in the first novel. This is a very intriguing read that will leave you thirsty for more. I know I am the way the author left the ending! All I can say is that the author has outdone herself her. The second book is even better than the first. I can't wait to read The Demon Bride to see if she surpasses herself again. This author is a author to look out for in the future!!! She has some TALENT! Can't wait to read her other books that are coming out!! I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! Did I say that already????

The story leaves off when the group are back at the apartment and trying to figure out where Etienne took Amy. Pueblo is on edge. Gwain and Mary discover more about themselves (wink wink). lol. I really don't want to spoil the twists and turns in the book, because it is an amazing plot and story. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT!! I give this book a RAVING 5 STAR Review and if I could give more I would!! ( )

I reviewed the first book in this series, and I really enjoyed it. It was one of the first few novellas I enjoyed reading. It was a fun and exciting ride the entire time, so I was looking forward to reading this follow up to book 1.

First and foremost I have to say that I really do enjoy the writing style in general of Dianna Hardy. She really has a way of making her books really easy to read, and to so quickly sweep you up into the stories and into the characters. It's so easy to really not only enjoy the story line but also really develop emotions for the characters as well.

Book two does a great job of brining out all the characters you love from book one and then expanding on them. More than that I felt like a lot of the world building happens in The Sands of Time, when you read book one you just kind of get your feet wet with the information about everything that inhabits this world. But when you open this book, you learn so much more about what it is angels, witches, and even demons mean within the confines of this world.

Hardy does a great job with the characters, and not just how they work together as couples but also how they work as individuals. I think one of the hardest things to do when you have a couple is when they are separated, which is the case with Amy and Pueblo. You have to find a way to keep the reader interested in the couple while still keeping the suspense of the separation. Hardy does a great job with this and Pueblo and Amy. Pueblo's frustration at not being able to find the woman he is literally bonded to with blood is so evident in her writing. You really pull for Pueblo to find his way back to Amy. I think you will really enjoy going on this journey with them.

I have really grown to enjoy novellas, and this one is another great novella out there. So if you are looking for a shorter read, but not sacrificing any of the character driven action then this is a series you should certainly try out. I think all paranormal romance readers would enjoy reading this! ( )
