Adolescence hasn’t been fun for Liss Lawrence. And after a year in Vancouver, when she’s finally adjusted to her new situation, a freak car accident sends her life spinning out of control and crashing into the world of the malions, a hidden race silently helping humanity from secret enclaves underground.
Liss’s knowledge of the malions endangers her family when Jaredsons Securities takes an interest in her accident. Few know the men of Jaredsons Securities, an international intelligence company specializing in missing persons cases, are actually the Vykhars, ancient malion enemies whose true purpose is the eradication of the malion race. The Vykhars will stop at nothing to discover if Liss is connected with the malions, and if they do, they will exploit her.
Perhaps more dangerous still are Liss’s growing feelings for Rion, a strong-willed malion scarred by his encounters with Vykhars and carrying a secret that could destroy their relationship. But Liss has a secret and scars of her own, and Rion’s fiercely protective nature threatens to tear them back open.
Can this pair of unlikely lovers survive the dangers of the Vykhars? And can their love survive their own misconceptions?
Beneath the Surface A Malion Novel eBook Miranda Rae Carter
Okay there are aspects i adore and aspects that turned me off. The anger that is unresolved and the flying off the handle turned me off at times. the love story and fighting against all odds for each other and loved ones adored. Overall this is a fascinating book. The malions are a interesting species and Rion and his brother are fascinating. I feel for both of them. I am wondering the story behind Rion's brother and also Kyle how on earth is he a Vykhars? That is a stretch to me. And there is more to the leak than we are told I believe.Liss is strong willed, stubborn at times frustrating and irritating, scarred emotionally and closed off. She is also quick to jump to conclusions and flies off the handle to fast. Rion does as well. They both need some anger management classes. Rion does everything off of emotion and instinct. How he first meets LIss is by accident one that renews his desire to live. He was on his way to protect his family which is what his main reason for existing is. He is fiercely loyal and protective. His past has scarred him but also defined him in his desire to protect. he loves completely no questions asked. His brother I am intrigued by what is his story? Will he come to terms with things? Will he find love?
Liss's sister Katherine is aggravating. She is a snob and selfish to the core. Suddenly she does a 360 and can't understand her sister's hesitancy to forgive her. As does Liss's best friend Chelsea they can't understand things and are selfish. Liss's friendship with a classmate they don't like is a bone of contention. I mean the guy needs a confidant and friend and in liss she has this. i do wonder what will happen to him to.
As the story unfolds we see that Liss is in danger and being spied on and I think this is thanks in big part to her dad whose company has the Vykhars as a client. What confuses me is the doctor I don't think she is the only reason for things that happen. I am also a little confused about why the Vykhars are so adamantly wanting Rion and wanting him dead. This doesn't make sense to me.
rion there are no words for him really. He is stubborn, loyal loves wholly, frustrating, kind but also fierce. His story needs to be unfolded more for this whole issue with why he can't be above ground to be understood more to me.
the love story between him and Liss is sweet. It's wonderful to see the fight all odds to be together. Even if Liss at times gives up Rion doesn't he is a rock for her. the unconditional love and patience he has in that area is beautiful. A story of trying to fight the odds to be together while struggling to grow up and protect everyone around you. Fighting against all odds. It will be interesting to see what is next for Rion and Liss and even Rion's brother. A good interesting read.

Beneath the Surface A Malion Novel eBook Miranda Rae Carter Reviews
Carter has written a young adult fantasy that I’m sure will appeal to many teenage readers because of the storytelling, the action and adventure, and book’s romantic angle. Teens are the primary targeted audience as the author takes her readers “beneath the surface” into the world of the Malions, a species of paranormal beings who are known for their miraculous healing abilities. Hunted for years by the Vykhars, who seek to destroy their race, the Malions live in secret, underground, and away from humans. When the protagonist Melissa inadvertently gets brought into their world after being rescued by the young Malion, Rion, she becomes enmeshed in the ongoing battle between the Malions and the Vykhars and discovers that her life has become irrevocably changed.
Carter incorporates many of the conventions often found in young adult literature into her novel. The story is narrated in first person by Melissa so readers can connect and relate to her struggles, insecurities, and the trauma she has experienced. Although the story starts off slowly at the beginning, the pace picks up after Melissa’s life-threatening car accident and doesn’t lose momentum as the action and danger escalate. Like many other YA novels, Melissa’s parents do not play a prominent role in the book. While their concern for Melissa’s well-being is evident, they aren’t heavily involved in her life, and their influence is limited. Melissa is often left on her own to make critical decisions that affect her safety, the security of those around her, and the future direction of her life. Furthermore, the story is filled with plenty of emotional angst as Melissa and Rion struggle with their growing feelings for each other, knowing their relationship puts those they care about in harm’s way.
What I most enjoyed and appreciated about the Beneath the Surface are its themes. At the heart of this book is Melissa and Rion’s struggle to be together despite their racial and cultural differences. For much of the book Melissa and Rion have a volatile relationship which in part stems from miscommunication and misunderstandings because of their different backgrounds.
From the beginning, the obstacles they face seem insurmountable, but Carter shows that love can, indeed, transcend differences.
Another reason I liked the book is because Carter delves into the dark subjects of sexual assault and physical abuse. By doing so, she creates an opening for a conversation about these sensitive topics and the reality that teens aren’t immune to this kind of violence. Both Melissa and Rion have undergone horrific, degrading experiences in their past which are summed up rather than graphically described in flashbacks, and the plot focuses more on the aftermath and how both characters have chosen to deal with their trauma. While Melissa chooses to keep this a secret and suffer silently, Rion withdraws from his family and friends. I think their common struggle to reclaim their lives plays a significant role in the bond that forms between them because they each know what is needed to help the other emotionally heal.
On the other hand, there are some aspects of the novel I didn’t enjoy, and this may very well be because I brought an adult perspective into the reading experience. I acknowledge that I am not the intended audience and this may be why some parts of the book weren’t as appealing as they may be to teen readers. Although I enjoyed the book’s plot and themes, I did not connect very well with the main characters. Both Melissa and Rion are quick-tempered, stubborn, and easily offended, all of which contribute to the volatile nature of their relationship. At times their behavior is immature, impulsive, and causes unnecessary complications. I didn’t really feel the attraction between them early on. Melissa does everything she can to get away from Rion after he saves her, but once she returns home, she misses him and feels empty that he is no longer a part of her life. I was surprised that she felt this strongly since I didn’t pick up on any real chemistry between them. She’s more focused on her anger, pain, and frustration to escape back to her family. As the story, progresses, I do begin to understand why Melissa develops strong feelings for Rion. He is kind, gentle, and patient with her, which is exactly what she needs at this point. In Rion’s culture, females are revered, and I can see how Melissa would be drawn to this young Malion. However, I never fully understood why Rion falls in love with Melissa so quickly and is willing to jeopardize the safety of his people for a girl he claims to love but barely knows.
Although I didn’t connect to Melissa, I definitely appreciated the character arc she undergoes. Through her involvement with the Malions and their Vykhar enemies, she becomes less egocentric and self-involved, learning to take responsibility for the choices she makes and realizing that her actions have repercussions beyond herself. Melissa becomes softer, more understanding, and more forgiving of others, especially her sister, Katherine who antagonizes her in the first half of the book. Katherine’s behavior toward Melissa doesn’t change until after her own break-up, which I thought would become significant to the plot, but doesn’t. I was so sure that the ex-boyfriend was somehow connected to this supernatural world and was using Katherine for some sinister purpose, so I’m not sure why Katherine’s boyfriend problems were significant to the overall story.
Readers who dislike cliff-hanger endings will be pleased to know that Beneath the Surface has a resolution that wraps up the book nicely without leaving them in angsty suspense waiting for the next installment. If you like YA urban fantasy, you should check out this new series.
I received an ARC of this book from the author for an honest review.
Liss just wants to finish high school in peace, she's not interested in parties or her friends knowing her every secret. But when she's guilted into going to a party and gets lost, things get crazy in her life when she gets into a car accident and wakes up somewhere she never expected surrounded by a race she never knew expected. Keeping it secret though and going back to her normal life turn out to be next to impossible with men call Vyhkars coming after her for information about the mysterious Malion.
Liss thought she could put it all behind her and move on, but the more time that passes, she realizes moving on might not even be what she really wants. Especially the more she gets to know Rion.
Liss is the type to suffer in silence long before she lets anyone know there's something wrong. She likes to keep what's in her like private not telling everyone every detail of her life. It might make her seem antisocial, but that's just she way like it and if her "friends" don't like it then that's too bad and she'll move on without them.
The world created is interesting and you delve right into it. You learn about a new type of "creature" that hasn't been seen in thousands of stories and you see the bad guys that are out to get them. The Malion's are new and I loved getting to know about them and their world underground. Great start to a new series and I'm excited to see more of it to come.
