Peace Piper — Allie Burton

Her mother slowly dying in a poisonous plot of power. An ancient instrument of peace threatening ultimate destruction. A determined brainiac demanding secrets and smart enough to uncover them. Piper Akins has lived her entire life in the clutches of an evil cult and wants to run away. But with her uncle's double cross and her mother on her deathbed, she has no choice but to do as the cult demands and search for the supposed magical trumpet of King Tut. Thanks to an unknown but powerful father, Piper is immune to the trumpet's effects. But she's not immune to the charms of Soul Warrior Math, who believes she's working with him not against him. Math might be the smartest warrior in the force, but he wants to be respected for his physical prowess. The only way to prove this is to discover Piper's secrets, find the missing trumpet of peace, and defeat the evil cult. When Piper tricks him, he realizes he's failed on all counts. While Piper and Math circle around each other, pretending one thing, believing another, the threat grows. Her mother will certainly die if Piper doesn't betray her growing love for Math. And Math must offer more than muscles and brains to win Piper over. He must offer his heart. But can both learn to trust each other in time to stop mankind's annihilation? “The characters are fun, flirty and mysterious. The storyline is engaging and wonderfully paced. Oh yes, I am digging these Soul Warriors and their history. 5 Magical Stars!” -- I Read Indie Review Other books in the series: Soul Slam, Tut's Trumpet, Cleo's Curse
