" What would you do if you were born to be a predator? Would you fight your natural instincts or give in to your nature?
Eden is a soul eater closing in on her awakening. Her family has convinced her that soon she will have to take a life in order to save her own. It’s a decision Eden doesn’t want to deal with even as her hunger for souls grows stronger every day.
To complicate her impossible position, new guy in school Noah Valois’ determination to befriend her puts Eden in touch with a humanity she’s never known. Addicted to his company, his friendship and affection, she becomes more and more terrified that giving into her hunger will mean losing him forever…
… But when she discovers that Noah is not what he seems, his betrayal forces her to face two choices. One will offer her revenge and the destruction of a boy she loved. The other may offer her a life of eternal redemption…" (From Goodreads)

"All Eden wants is redemption... but the road to redemption is never an easy one.
Travelling to Scotland to find her mother’s bloodline, Eden is soon embroiled in the politics and training of the Scottish Warriors of Neith. It is a world where some stand with open arms ready to welcome her as family, while others keep a wary distance, conspiring against her. Through it all Eden learns of love, friendship, and what it means to be a warrior. Her future has promise... that is until a man she thought forever gone from her life returns to threaten it all.
When the one person Eden loves above all else is endangered, she will have to make a choice. Him... or her?" (From Goodreads)

"Eden’s life has taken a
turn she would never have imagined. She’s gone from soul eater to
warrior, left behind a family she was ashamed of and moved in with one
she admires. She has a purpose, a future, and… she has Noah.
Life should be good.
But… the most fervent and powerful soul eaters are determined to take down the Ankh and Eden is the key to the destruction of the warrior race.
Moreover, a shadowed enemy is still after Eden, and the mortal Warriors of Neith have chosen the worst time imaginable to start an uprising.
With an enemy in every corner, the problems before her are overwhelming. Then again, Eden hasn’t come this far to let anyone snatch her new life from her…
However, just when Eden thought she’d battled the monster within and won, the warrior who took something precious from her comes back into her life, tempting Eden to take a course of revenge there is no turning back from." (From Goodreads)

Samantha Young never disappoints! Once I started, it was nonstop reading until I finished it. I'm just glad that when I got this series, all the books were already published. I thinking waiting for the next book would have driven me mad crazy. I seriously love her writing. The Warrior of Ankh Series is amazing. It was full of action, betrayals, heartbreaks, and romance. For those who loves a kick-ass heroine that stands up for herself, this is a must read for you. From the beginning of this book the very end, Eden goes through so much and right by her side is Noah. He's so awesome, definitely swoon worthy. I liked how it wasn't love at first sight for them. Their feelings started out as friendship and then slowly grew. I love the chemistry/attraction between the two of them. The emotions they both go through felt so real, so heartwarming and yet at certain times heartbreaking.
The characters were awesome whether they were good or bad. They each had their own role in the story that really built up the storyline. I wish we saw more of Stellan, Eden's older brother. He definitely stole my heart. I love how protective he was of Eden, and how much he held his inner souleater back because he wanted to be a better person for her. I wanted a happy ending for him, but it never came. Other characters I want to see more of and know more about was Val and Darius. Darius seems so badass and there's definitely something between him and Val. I want to know their story and hope *fingers cross* that Samantha will go back and write about them.
This series is a must read! It has a little of everything to keep you wanting to know what will happen next. The build up in the story was very well thought out, fast paced that will keep you on your toes. Each book got better and better and definitely more intense. This series will take you on an amazing journey that it will make you feel so much emotions. I hope that you'll take the chance and read this series because it will be one that you won't forget.
