REVIEW: Alannah by LA Casey


Mel's thoughts...

Whenever a Slater Brothers book comes out I squeal with excitement because I absolutely love this series. It’s on of my go to recs and rereads. I’m a bit sad though knowing that this is coming to an end. My only comfort is that we will have a spin off that involves these characters that I love so much. Alannah and Damien went through so much in his book and these two definitely deserve their HEA. Once again in true Slater Brothers fashion we get a read that is full of laughs, alpha possessive Slater men and a bit of angst. This book will make you fall in love with these two a little bit more and I wasn’t sure that was possible because I floved them in Damien book. Of course this is a Novella so I easily devoured this beauty. Also have to say that LA Casey gives us one hell of a treat in this one and I’m looking forward to the final book.

Title: Alannah
Series: Slater Brothers
Author: L.A. Casey
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, New Adult, Romantic Comedy
What Alannah admires…
…Alannah watches over.

Alannah Ryan is plagued by an old face haunting her dreams, turning her waking hours into a mess of worry. Talking it out with the person she loves the most isn’t a possibility, not when the same face haunts him, too. To protect the love of her life from another burden, she keeps her fear to herself, even as that fear begins to consume her.

Damien Slater has the life he always wanted with the woman he adores by his side, but there’s a problem. His woman is keeping a secret, and they swore they would never let another secret come between them again. Breaking Alannah’s guard will be Damien’s greatest challenge yet as he proves once and for all that he is in it for the long haul.

Alannah admires Damien, and what Alannah admires, Alannah watches over.

“Branna,” he all but snarled, his eyes on the burger I held tightly. “What in God’s name is this?”

“Um …” She twitched. “Ye’ … ye’ said years ago that she could be your stand-in for first servin’s if you were ever absent or late to a meal.”

“That privilege was revoked the second she broke my favourite cup!”

“Well, how was I supposed to know that?”

“Because you know me!” Alec stressed.

“I’m sorry, okay?”

He put his back to Branna.

“The betrayal,” he said and placed his hand over his chest. “It runs deep.”

Nico rolled his eyes at his older brother’s dramatics as he bounced Georgie on his knee while everyone else watched the scene unfold with amusement.

“This tastes so good,” I hummed. “It’s really incredible.”

Alec spun around and pointed at me, his hand shaking with obvious anger. “You and me are blood enemies from this day forth, Ryan!”

I had no idea what a blood enemy was, and I didn’t care.

“Fine by me, tight arse.”

Keela covered up a laugh by covering her mouth with both of her hands while Alec glared holes into my forehead.

“I’ll make it up to ye’,” Branna said to Alec, slightly gaining his attention. “In fact, I’ve an offerin’ that will make up for this situation right now.”

“How?” he demanded, refusing to look at her. “That monster used my cup, then fucking broke it, and now she has eaten the sacred first grilled feast of summer. What can you possibly do to make this better?”

“I’ve a bigger plate made up with your name on it.”

I heard Alec swallow. “How big of a plate are we talking here, Branna?”

Hook, line, and sinker.

“Practically triple what everyone else is gettin’.”

His four brothers cursed in outrage while Alec turned to face Branna with the biggest smile I had ever seen on his too attractive face.

“I accept your offering and forgive you for feeding Pennywise first.”

I rolled my eyes, not offended.

“You’d sell your own child for a plate of dinner.”

Alec bared his teeth and hissed at me while holding up his hands and putting his two fingers together to form the symbol of a cross.

“Be gone, demon spawn.”
