Published on February 1st, 2016
Published by Entangled Teen
Genre: YA paranormal/Fantasy


After spending the last four years trapped in a place of monsters, demons, and magick, the last thing the fierce teenage bounty hunter Greta expected was to ever be back on Earth. But a rare opportunity gives her and the Goblin King Isaac the opportunity to do just that. Now she’s home. With a boy in tow. And her parents have lots of questions.
Although Greta finally has her heart’s deepest wish—to see her family again—every step she takes to reconnect with them drives her further away from Isaac. Greta and Isaac planned for her to return to Mylena and become his queen, but she’s not sure if she can go back to that harsh world, though staying on Earth means giving up the boy she loves.
But a powerful enemy refuses to let Greta escape. A demon who will stop at nothing to destroy her and everything she loves. Even if it means following her to Earth and forcing her to face a fate as unavoidable as love itself.

Buy The Book


My Thoughts
Greta And The Lost Army should be retitled All The Reasons That Earth Sucks Compared To Myleana.  
The reason
The first 50% (kindle approximation) of this book is spent doing just that.  As Greta and the gang find themselves on the Earth side of yet another portal.
Hearts will break as the pungest of the human Lost Boys are unceremoniously torn from their tribe and reunited with their families.
The more of this that Greta is forced to endure, the more that Greta knows that life on Myleana is her only option.

This is also where things between Isaac and Greta become, shall we say, irreversible.
And the search for the return portal begins.
Thankfully!

Things in Myleana are worse than ever, complete with demon possessed fae and a gnome king bent on destruction.

The action and cohesion of the last half of this tale, more than makes up for the slow emotionality of the first half.
Seeing Issac and Greta gather their troops while reigning together as a true king and queen.
Awesome!

This is a great end to an excellent series!

   Read below for an excerpt from Greta and the Lost Army:
The streetlamps cast soft cones of light on the sidewalks all the way through the neighborhood. Greta pointed things out as she remembered them. “That’s where my friend Danielle used to live. I guess she probably still lives there.” “Are you looking forward to seeing her again?” She nodded. “And if I remember correctly, she’s more hyper than a Mylean berserker—only less ripping and tearing, and more frenzied hugging and constant talking.” The rumble of his amused chuckle made her grin. He squeezed her hand. She looked up at him, and it hit her. “You know, this is kind of like a date,” she said, tingles of awareness dancing up her spine. His smile was crooked, and his eyes warm as he laid his arm across her shoulders, making her feel like he would rather be here with her right now than anywhere else. It probably wasn’t true. They were both too worried about Mylena for it to ever leave their minds completely, but maybe one day it would be true. “What would be the purpose of a date?” There was such a thing as courtship in Mylena, but she and Isaac had pretty much bypassed anything resembling normal…in both worlds. What if she was wrong and the portal didn’t open again? What if they stayed here? There could be more nights just like this, and eventually maybe they would get a place of their own and… “You know, so a couple can get to know one another and decide if they like each other.” “But we already know we like each other.” When they were alone like this and his voice softened because he trusted her enough to let down his guard, it did crazy things to her. Like popping candy hitting her bloodstream. “Even more important, we know that we fit together. In battle together, or planning for Mylena’s future, even while arguing…and definitely when I kiss you…nobody fits me like you do.”
