Four Short and Sweet Reviews

I carried four physical books from my TBR pile with me on my month long trip and read all four.  Here are the Short and Sweet reviews for each.

Abracadaver by Laura Resnick – An Esther Diamond Novel, I love Esther and Connor her sometimes boyfriend.  This time they are off to another unusual adventure and again Connor just cannot accept what is going on right in front of him.  Great addition to the series.




The Thorn of Dentonhill by Marshall Ryan Maresca – A Novel of Maradaine,  I picked this one up because I loved A Murder of Mages set in the same world.  I was disappointed.  The Thorn of Dentonhill  did not catch me like his other series did.  I am still not sure where the series is going.   I will try book two.


The Clockwork Crown by Beth Cato – A Clockwork Dagger Novel,  A two book series which is unusual.  It was an exciting story with great characters.  There is a very satisfying ending. 






The Grendel Affair by Lisa Shearin– a SPI Files Novel,  A nice start to a new series.  I loved the background of  the main characters.  The world building and character development are right on target.  The back-story adds to the plot.  Book two is already out.  Guess my TBR pile will continue to grow.

Armed and Magical by Lisa Shearin


Paranormal

In Magic Lost, Trouble Found Raine Benares woke up and gained control of the Saghred an ancient stone that gives the user cataclysmic powers. Of course there is a catch. To power the Saghred you must feed it souls and as you use the power you lose your own soul.

In Armed and Magical Raine is trying to cut her connection to the Saghred and put it back to sleep. The Saghred and some of the souls trapped inside are working to keep her from succeeding. She has come to the Isle of Mid, the center of magic and home of the Conclave to get help. As soon as she arrives things start to heat up. Spell-singers are disappearing, and mages, goblins and elves are trying to get the power of the Saghred for themselves. Raine is trying to stay alive and keep the Saghred from the wrong hands. The power of the Saghred is growing and Raine does not know who to can trust.

Armed and Magical is a great mix of adventure, romance and magic. You will enjoy the book more if you read Magic Lost, Trouble Found first.

ACE published Armed and Magical by Lisa Shearin in 2008.

I purchased Armed and Magical from Amazon.
