Summary:
The weirdness continues….
Thanks to a magical transplant from an inter-dimensional enforcer, Hailey Parrish can transform into a hawk. When someone begins dismembering hikers along the Appalachian Trail, the enforcers make use of her feathery talents to catch the killer. Unfortunately, like most things in Hailey’s life, there is nothing ordinary about the assignment. Their target turns out to be maddeningly elusive, they rescue a stray dog that makes a sewage treatment plant seem pleasantly fragrant, and stopping the murders turns out to be the least of their worries.
Special Attraction, the third book in the Coursodon Dimension series, combines paranormal romance, urban fantasy, a bit of science fiction and a healthy dose of quirky humor.

Hello everyone! Welcome to my stop of the Special Attraction Book Tour! I've got a super fun review to share with you guys, but before we get into that, quick reminder that you can click the tour banner above to access all the links to the other tour stops! Okay, let's go :)
Special
Attraction is the third book in the Coursodon Dimension. At first, I was a bit
worried to read it without taking a look at the first two books even though it
is advertised as a stand-alone. My biggest concern was not understanding the
world enough, especially since our MC, Hailey, has changed
so significantly from the first book. But rest assured all you
who are reading this, M.L. Ryan does a pretty decent job creating the world of
Coursodon and mapping out its relations to earth. As for Hailey's story, you
barely even notice because she is just so wonderfully written that she doesn't
feel "foreign" or developed already. If that makes any sense.
Hailey
was a super awesome character to read from the perspective of. She's sassy and
not afraid to speak her own mind. We first meet her as she scouts the
mountains for traces of a killer in her hawk form. Right from the start, we get
to see her in her second form and we get connected with her as she witnesses
the horror of mangled bodies, and the struggle and weakness that she feels when
she turns back to human. Throughout the entire book, Hailey kept me entertained
with her sass and underneath all that attitude is someone with a true heart of
gold.
Alex, oh
dear, I may have a new addition to my life of perfect book boyfriends.
Seriously, he's pretty much perfection. A bit alpha male, but he's so caring
and attentive to Hailey it just melts my heart. Him and Hailey are literally
one of the cutest couples I've read, and are possibly one of the few who has
endured hell for each other.
Sebastian
was an interesting character. From what I can gather from the first book,
Sebastian's spirit was living inside of Hailey. Throughout the book, he kind of
played the devil's advocate. Sometimes you admired him, other times he was a
jerk. Nonetheless, he was pretty entertaining. ;)
Uluf is
probably my favorite character. No offense to Hailey and Alex, but there was
just something so soulful about Uluf that will move your heartstrings. He's
strong but adorably awkward and his personality is just so mournful (?) and
adorable that it's really hard not to like him. Plus he's not as big of a macho
man as Alex. XD
The
entire book was chock full of suspense and tension. The first scene depicts a
grisly scene with mutilated body parts scattered all over the mountains. I feel
like my biggest problem was the "climax" of the story. With all the
tension that is vibrating throughout the entire story, I expected a massive
climax with like flaming arrows flying down from heaven. Instead, it's kind of
blurry. Hailey sort of just defeats Doc Marten (her name for Mr. Bad Guy) and
all we really "read" is a bright light flashes and Hailey blacks out.
Don’t get me wrong, I was super relieved that they finally caught the bad guy,
but I wanted something big.
Other
than that, I would definitely recommend Special Attraction. It's full of
action, suspense, heartthrobs, and adorable romance. To sum things up, Hailey
is awesome, Alex is adorable, Sebastian is quite the character, Doc Martens is
nutso, and Uluf is the best, can I please have him?
3.5/5 stars
