Sunflower (The Agency Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 36 ratings

Meeting Callum for the first time while being crushed under a hundred pounds of sunflowers was somewhat awkward.

Seeing him flee to the other side of the country because of what he saw in my head was downright humiliating.

I can’t help but feel like my dad should have told me ahead of time that his girlfriend and her son had psychic abilities.

Four long years later and he’s back to watch our parents finally get married, and I’m still wondering what on earth he saw in my head that day.

I never thought going on a blind date would eventually bring the answers I was looking for…

Or that it would completely turn my life upside down…

~~~

Sunflower
, the first book in The Agency series, features a young college student, unwittingly dropped into a world he knows nothing about, a psychic that seems to know far more than he’s letting on, and a romance that will be treated like the myths of old in the centuries to come.

Each book in The Agency series features a different couple with their own HEA in an overarching plotline. It is recommended to read the books in order for the most enjoyment.

Kayla Halleur

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kayla is a budding new Australian author who feels incredibly lost when needing to talk about herself (especially in the third person), preferring to let her stories speak for her.

When she's not writing, she can usually be found on the couch wrapped in a blanket burrito, with her head in a book. That type of existence suits her introverted heart well, much to the chagrin of her extroverted relatives.

She freely admits that she doesn't know what the heck she'd doing, but she hopes she's at least learning as she goes. She's thankful that you've looked her Amazon bio up, and hopes that you'll give her stories a chance (and will hopefully enjoy them).

    If i hadn't known that this was the author's debut work, I would never have suspected it was a first effort. The story is tight and well-plotted, the characters are lovable, and I've already pre-ordered the sequel. Oh, and I don't think I noticed a single typo, which if you read a lot of indie authors you will realize is amazing.

    If I had to complain about something, I'd say the ending felt rushed and a little unfinished. As the blurb notes, this series has an ongoing storyline, so I knew to expect that not every plot thread would be tied up, but even so, when I got to the end I was kinda like "wait, that's all we get about that?" I also didn't feel like there was a main-couple climax. They said their "I love you"s pretty quickly and there was no moment of relationship tension releasing. Instead, it was just a slow growth from first meeting to settling down. As someone who's not a fan of angst, I didn't exactly find this to be something to complain about, but on the other hand it left me with a slight feeling that a beat I'd been expecting the book to hit got skipped.

    This was an enjoyable and interesting book. The premise was very intriguing and it hooked me from the start. Since it's the first book in a series, there waa quite a bit of world building going on and I enjoyed it a lot, especially the reimagining of stories from Greek mythology.
    I loved Callum and Joey's meet-cute a lot, I also really enjoyed their blind date. I really enjoyed how Callum gave little clues to Joey regarding their future before their time came. Callum was cute trying to stay mysterious, but he could not resist Joey, even if he tried.
    It's somewhat insta-lovey, which doesn't always work, but in this instance I felt it and really enjoyed it. And can it really be insta-love, when they've known each other for 4 years and Callum had his vision about his and Joey's future together and he already had huge feelings for Joey? Callum and Joey were cute and sweet together. I loved the intensity of their feelings for each other.
    The pacing of the book was good, and what I could understand of the overarching plot has me intrigued and excited for the next book in this series.

    If you enjoy books with paranormal elements, nicknames in foreign languages and step-siblings who become more then this is the book for you.

    What an awesomely entertaining read! For this to be a debut novel, the author has done an outstanding job of world building, and her character and plot development is great! I was captivated from the beginning and this was one of those (very few) books this reviewer has read that he could not put down. If this is what we can expect from Halleur in the future, then I rather suspect she has begun an entertaining and successful career as an author. More please....

    This is my first time reading Kayla Halleur, and I definitely enjoyed this story. It was a very captivating read. Joey and Callum had a lot going on. A mixer of romance and mystery with some humor. There's dark elements as well, so please read the very detailed content warning if you have triggers. The author was very thorough, and I know a lot of people will appreciate that.

    Let me first say that I enjoyed this book. It was a little slow to start, but at about the 40% mark, it had its hooks in me, and I was locked in til the end. The paranormal element was nicely woven throughout the story, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the world.

    With that said, because this book is classified as an MM romance, I was really hoping to have seen the development of the relationship between Joey and Callum. I can concede that there is a significant focus on the relationship, but with everything else that’s going on in the book, it sometimes feels secondary. (I’m not saying this is a bad thing; I’m just saying it’s a thing.) And I truly wish there was just more of Joey and Callum.

    One thing that occasionally confused me – though it didn’t really pull me out of the story exactly – is some of the turns of phrase. The story itself takes place in the US, but there are so many turns of phrase that are very European that it occasionally confused my poor American brain. Will all of that said, I really loved getting in on the ground floor, so to speak, with this series and I really hope we get to see more of Joey and Callum in the next book or books.

    I was intrigued by Callum and his powers. However, this is all from Joey's POV until the very end. The beginning was a bit slow but it does pick up once Joey and Callum reunite. There's some interesting world building and intriguing side characters with others in the agency that Callum works for. I enjoyed this story, though I do think that it's a bit of an insta-love/lust situation and wouldn't mind these two getting to know each other a bit more before diving right in based on something Callum's seen. It has been like three years since these two have been in the same space as each other, must less exchanged any meaningful conversation. That being said, there's a good bit of action along with some cute scenes. I'm definitely curious as to what else is in store for world!

    Sunflower is the first book in Kayla Halleur's The Agency series. I really enjoyed the first third of the book. Very nice love story with some pining. And then the "Agency" was added. Halleur has a talent for plot twists. And the pacing was very good, very steady. Government agencies are often depicted as sketchy. But I rather liked the idea of psychics saving the world.
    That leather jacket had me thinking that Callum was a bad boy. But he was actually quite thoughtful and charming. I think Joey needs a bit more seasoning. A bit more growth. He reminds me of a puppy who hasn't quite grown into his feet.
    Good plot. Good world build. This was the first book I've ever read by this author. And I'm ready for more.
    I received an advanced copy of this book and this is my review.
