When hunky, eighteen-year-old Travis Kurth lures his sister Bekka to assist him and his friends in an online game, he has no idea that all their lives are about to change... forever. Ripped from reality by an elemental force of nature, the party of five soon wake in a beautiful, but dangerous, new world called Orian. Bekka, who is suffering from a genetic disease, the same malady that killed their mother, finds herself in complete remission, but there's little time to celebrate as one, then another of their party falls prey to this unforgiving land. Rescued from death by a battalion of human soldiers under the leadership of Vallas Onisquase, Crown Prince of Adosarath, Bekka discovers that in Orian refuge comes at a steep price. The arrogant, dangerously handsome Vallas, beguiled by Bekka's beauty, sets in motion a plan to make her his own, but the royal entourage falls under attack by a blood-thirsty humanoid faction called Vadarcs. Abducted, Bekka finds herself deep in Vadarc territory with no chance of rescue. Leashed like an animal, abused, humiliated and placed on an auction block, she is purchased by blood and gold to become the property of Randar Ataurik, a humanoid, tusked, barbarian, Vadarc prince.Vallas who is obsessed with his newly betrothed, demands her return but Randar, in the long held tradition of Vadarcs, has bound her by blood.As the winds of war sweep the land, Bekka finds herself in a deadly triangle. Embellished is the first book in an epic, paranormal romance.… (més)

I have gone back and forth between a four and five rating for hours now. I'm going with 4.5 on this one. I like the ideas, the writing and the characters. That is almost everything about the book! It's the warning I have to add to the Novel that's giving me an issue. Although, I understand why the incident happens, I wish Glista had found a different way to further the plot.

Warning: Teen Suicide.

LITRPG is a growing genre that I find fascinating. The plot in these stories is, in some way, infused with a role playing video game. In this case, the main characters are sucked into the game during a storm.

I absolutely adore the fact that humans are cured of all illness when they enter the game. What a wonderful thing that would be if it were true. Those paralyzed could walk again - those with a terminal illness given a second chance at life.

Like most stories, there were a few things I would have changed - Bekka's apparent indifference to her situation at times being the main issue. The same can be said for any series I read though. There is always something I would do just a little differently.

I am looking forward to the second book in the series. 4.5/5 stars.

Better than your average sword, sorcery, and romance tale, Embellished breaks down new barriers into a genre all it's own. How many gaming geeks haven't dreamed of going into the magical worlds they navigate through their computers, how many play to escape real life if only for a little while? But would actually being stuck in that world be all that your imagination has cracked it up to be? And is the price of staying there to stay alive worth it? What do you do when two powerful princes both want to claim you? Exciting, intriguing, and well written. ( )
