They meet a few 'people' along the way, some who help them and some who don't so much. Karina and Ian set out on a journey to reach the Otherworld after Ian suffers a mild possession. The title pretty much sums up the plot of the third book in The Beast Within series. The Beast Within was a short, fast paced read with an intriguing plot, but I was left with some questions that I’m hoping will be answered in the next book. Throw in some mean werewolves (or lycanthropes) and there's a good mix of reality and fantasy. I don’t know much about the Tuatha De Danann, so all the twists and turns in this novella took me by surprise. Karina's reaction isn't much different from Sookie's, but she places her trust in Xavier-which isn’t such a good idea-and Ian turns out not to be so boring after all. He tells her she is a Tuatha De Danann, or celtic faerie. Xavier knows things about Karina, and at first I thought it was all a little convenient, but everything came together in the end and I understood why he had this knowledge. She meets Xavier, a random stranger, and they have a bit of a fling. Karina is at a crossroads in her life, and she decides she needs time away from her boring, mundane boyfriend, Ian.

In 2009 I started writing and have not looked back. I have been a lover of Paranormal and strong powerful women all my life and now am lucky enough to put the two together and share it with the world. I am from Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.
