This is book 3 in the Ringdweller series. We pick up where book 2 left off. We find out that Hatan has been “arrested” and put in jail. Someone in the city is planning a coup and wants him out of the way. Meanwhile, Migo has become something else in order to defeat the waheshi and take on the emperor. Katsi is training to call lightening at the palace, but when the Emperor’s plans come to light, she ends up in danger.
Migo and Katsi are young characters, but it’s so easy to forget they are only 17. They both take on more than most adults would and don’t give up no matter what. Migo is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it permanently changes him. He can’t stand by and watch the atrocities continue. And Katsi doesn’t take someone’s word, she thinks about what she’s doing. She questions motives and puts herself into the line of fire to save her people.
There is so much going on in this series! With all the secrets you never know who to trust and you question everyone’s motives. And even when they think they have solved the problem, that is not the end of the battle. Even though his methods may have been terrible, the emperor had reasons for all that he did. The bleeders have been waiting hundreds of years for revenge and have surprising allies I didn’t see coming. I was also surprised by a certain character who I thought was going to be a huge problem! Ok, well actually 2! So many surprises!
The battles in this book were epic as well. Between Magic and weapons alike were used to full potential and there were moments where I was holding my breath waiting to see what would happen. There were definitely moments I was worried! And I am so happy that Hatan got a story of his own in this book! I was definitely waiting to find out what happened with him after the last book and it turned out perfect! I enjoyed listening to this whole series!

Gideon Bean is your average adult, mostly. (Aside from a few hallucinations every now and then.) He keeps to himself and works 2 jobs to pay rent. It just so happens one of those jobs is at a crematorium overnight. Nothing exciting ever happens until one night he puts a box in the fire and a woman with wings of fire comes out. After meeting Dacey, his life will never be the same.
Gideon is a perfect unassuming MC. He really is just an average person living a normal life. And once he gets pulled into the world of mythicals, he realizes that he wasn’t as crazy as he thought he might have been. After a little hesitation, he ends up jumping right into the world of mythicals like a natural. Dacey is such a fun character! Even through she’s an agent of the Conclave, you’d never know it. She is the perfect complement to Gideon. She knows how to pull his inner strength out of him.
This book is set in the same world as Sophie Feegle but with new characters and a new location. This story has us in Florida. The workplace setting is similar since this a crematorium, but that type of setting really works for both series. It helps you get a feel for the MC isolation at first.
There is a lot of building up of the story and suspense in this book and then towards the end you are hit with the action. I loved the plot and then once you get to the showdown, it’s so hard to put the book away! You just have to know what will happen! And of course there were twists you didn’t see coming as well!
I listened to on audible, so I can’t wait for the next audiobook to be released!

Migo is now the King. Katsi has now been accepted by the Shamans. Migo is now on a mission to find out who murdered his father and what it was his father was searching for. Katsi wants to travel to find another storm caller to teach her about her magic. Their paths will not only cross again, but their missions will take them to the same place as well.
Now that Migo is king, there is peace between the kingdom and the shamans. But he still must figure out what his father was searching for. Leaving Hatan in charge as regent, we also learn that not everyone in the kingdom is happy that Migo is king. There is a plot to rid the Kingdom of the Ricadian line and instill someone else as ruler.
Katsi is still coming into her powers, but is finding out just how powerful she really is. And she is questioning why she is being told to do things. She is tired of being a puppet and I love that she is growing a spine. Migo is just as besotted with Katsi as before and it truly shows in this book. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that he is only a teenager still. He has been though so much in his short life and has so much responsibility but does not run away from it.
I enjoyed getting to hear about things from Hatan’s POV as well. He’s definitely a reluctant regent but tries his best to keep the kingdom running. Not made for politics, he has trouble sorting out the political machinations going on around him and it gets him into some hot water for sure.
There are plot twists and epic battles to keep you engaged in this book the whole time! Especially at then end where we get so many reveals, it had my head spinning! All the “truths” from one character or another is giving me whiplash as I try to figure out what is really going on and who should be trusted! I’ve listened to this series on audio and want to continue, but idk if I can wait for the next one to come out to find out what happens next!

What a conclusion! The Great Mother has told Sophie and Ruby that they must find their mother to help end the coming war with Queen Maeve. The only problem is that their mother has been dead for hundreds of years. Tracking down their lead takes them to Ireland in their search, but will they find her in time? Meave is finally ready to make her move to conquer Earth. And she will stop at nothing to try to keep Sophie out it.
Sophie and Ruby real it pull it together in this book! Sophie has a more difficult time coming to terms with her magic than Ruby. She has been thrown for a loop and it still trying to wrap her head around everything she has found out. And as much as love Sophie, I adore Ruby! Who knew her perpetually cheery nature would eventually wear me down and make me love her! These 2 are really the best parts of the 5 shards in my opinion!
This book was full of amazing world building, Irish lore and of course battles. There are secrets revealed, and we finally get to know who Sophie and Ruby really are. And let's just say it was a surprise! The whole team of Odd Ones, including Bertie are tested. All of the Odd Ones are such wonderful additions to this story! (Esp Bertie, she is such a fun, dirty old lady!) This was the perfect conclusion to a wonderful series! I'm looking forward to listening to more books in this world by this author!

Sophie’s life has been upended. She has just found out that not only is she not human, she is only a piece of her former self. And Ruby isn’t her sister, but another “shard” of what she used to be. And they know there are more of these shards out there. Temporarily distracted by a shifter fighting ring case, the group goes to Vegas to help a Conclave member find out what happened to his son. While in Vegas, Sophie meets a new ally who gives them the means to find the other shards. Can they find them before Bramwell?
This book had a bit less action than the previous books, but it went into so more about the search for the “sisters”. It definitely had me listening intently waiting to see if they could find the sisters in time! There were so many surprises about the sisters it was crazy! I don’t want to give anything away so it’s so hard to write the review!
Sophie has finally adjusted to having Ruby around and part of the Odd Ones. And now she may be adding more sisters to the mix. Mac is there to help of course and now they have Larry as part of their immediate team as well. It was nice to see some of the characters from previous book feature again! Well, not all of the reunions were nice but necessary. And that was a whole other surprise! This book was so full of surprises I am having a hard time not giving anything away! Right up until the end of the book where a major revelation happens! I can’t wait to begin the next book and see how Sophie and the Odd Ones so against a Fae Queen and her minions!

Book 3 in the Sophie Feegle series starts off after the events of the last book. The wolves are still after Sophie and after a close call, Marcella decides to send Sophie, Ruby and Mac to a town full of mythicals, Cascadia, to keep the away from the wolves and to use their special skills to help solve murders happening there.
Sophie is definitely a tough nut to crack. Used to being on her own for so long, she is having a hard time with Ruby wanting to always be near her. Ruby is that person who is always chipper, even at 6am without coffee. (Strange for a serial killer right!) But Sophie is definitely growing and realizing she is being too hard on her. Mac is definitely one of the reasons for her personal growth! They make such an adorable couple.
I love all the new characters and types of mythicals we get to meet in this book as well. Carson, Mac’s dad is the sheriff in this town and despite his country demeanor, he’s a no nonsense officer of the law. And there are lots of townspeople who may or may not get mixed up in all the illegal activities. And when Ruby goes all out trying to shake hands, how much more will they dredge up?!
And as far as surprises go, whew! There were some big ones towards the end of the book! It was definitely an interesting take on the long lost sister idea and I am definitely intrigued!
This is a fun, easy and quick listen. I enjoy this series and can’t wait to see where it goes after the revelations made!

This book has Mack back on her own with Mrs. Alcoon at a new location for the bookstore. But on her own, isn't really on her own. She now has one of every faction following her around, making sure nothing happens to her. Between the fae, the mages and the shifters, she is going crazy. Then a dryad asks for her help, so Mack ends up investigating the murder of a dryad. And when even the evil man-eating far monster is afraid of what’s coming, Mack better be careful!
This book has Mack trying to shove what she is deep down. She is worried that she will hurt someone she has come to care about. While we see parts of Mack that want to grow, she is still struggling to get past some of her ways. Corrigan has been the most patient man on earth waiting for her! There are revelations made at the end about why that is and it’s a moment where you just want to scream “why didn’t you read the book sooner?!”. After solving the case and becoming the go to for all the different factions, she is forced to make a choice that will change her destiny forever. Can she ever come back from this decision?

I just finished the audio of this book and I cannot think of anything I hadn't already said! I absolutely love this narrator and she does such a fantastic job with Riley and Kali!
Another absolutely amazing book in the Riley Cruz series! Riley has finally found out that she has magic, even if she doesn’t think it is much. While trying to figure out what magic she can do, they find out she is immune to it - which they already somewhat knew. But now that she magic, the local coven thinks they are entitled to take Riley into their headquarters and will so whatever it takes to try to get her there. At the same time, the team is on a job for the Conclave. A demon spellbook has been spotted on TV in the hands of a popular stuntman and they must retrieve it. But of course, they are not the only ones looking for it! Is it Bellarose? Is it someone new? What will happen if they don’t get this book?
As always, this book is hilarious and the Stitch Witches had me in stitches! (See what I did there lol) Helen is one of my favorite side characters ever. The way those ladies protect Riley is amazing and how strong and spry they are for their age makes me want to be like them when I get that age. And Nash is definitely coming around after Riley saved the day in the last book. Aside from Garth, he’s really turning into a team player. And Garth… I love Garth and I just knew there would be more than meets the eye with that little rooster!
Riley is still Riley and I love that no matter what happens she won’t change. She knows who she is and doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. She is finally starting to get some answers about her past, but not enough to get the whole picture. But she never lets that get her down either! Not even Volkov’s mom can get to her!
I have said it before, and I stick by it when I say Max Volkov is my book boyfriend. This book just cemented it for me! Between wanting the perfect first date (even if said date ends up “blowing up in his face”), his protectiveness of Riley and the secret charity event that had me tearing up at the end - there is no doubt he is the perfect book BF!! Although they do have their bumps n the road as any normal couple would.
There is lots of suspense in this book and we get more tidbits about Riley’s past. There is another revelation towards the end and but there are still more questions we need answered! I can’t wait for the next book to find out more about Riley and see what her magic can do!!

Book 3 in the Blood Destiny series takes Mack to the mage academy. Already nervous about being there, now she has to deal with mages who don’t want her around as well. There are a few friendly faces, so Mack makes friends with some of the younger members of the academy. But that doesn’t stop the trouble from finding her. Magic that goes haywire, a librarian who doesn’t trust her, instructors hazing her are the least of her worries. Alex shows up and needs her help with a top secret case involving vampires. And of course, she needs to make a deal with Corrigan to help Alex. Faced with a terror she has never seen, her life will change forever and she will finally get answers she has been searching for.
Mack is a decent person and I think really wants what’s best for Mrs . Alcoon. She is often times too impetuous though. She wants to get out the mage academy and tries to force her magic to do things she isn’t ready for, if it’s even something she will be able to do. But I definitely see the good side of her too. Taking the time to translate and form once she actually listens to someone trying to help her and takes their advice. And to see how much she ends up caring for some of the students was wonderful. And Corrigan is (hopefully) going to be a perfect balance for her. She is still trying to deny anything between them, but I believe the barrier is getting thinner!
There was even some heartache in this book. I was so surprised when it happened and I was so saddened I actually had my mouth fall open as I listened! I wanted to just shout NO!
I really enjoy the story line of this series. Every book you get to find a little more of what Mack has going on. But in this book we get a much clearer picture of what she really is! But it still leaves so many question! Like what are all of her abilities? Are there more we don’t know about? How has she gone this long without knowing? I am already starting the next book so I can get more answers and likely more questions!

I absolutely love Riley and her crew!! And I think I have even found myself a new book boyfriend (Max Volkov!) In this book, Riley is given the job to find a dangerous artifact that can control another person. She has no idea what she is looking for or where it is, but that won't stop her! Together with Dez, Max, Helen and a reluctant Nash she is determined to find the artifact. As if that wasn't difficult enough, someone is also trying to kill someone on her team. Riley really must face her inner and outer demons for this mission.
Riley is such a wonderfully fun character! She is optimistic and sees the best in almost everyone. She is both tough and vulnerable at the same time. She wants her team to get along and she will make it happen even if it kills her trying! Dez is reluctant vampire tech genius and Nash is an ex special forces grump! I still love the old ladies and Helen is definitely one of my favorites! Those women love a good time! And Max, what can say about Max other than he really is my new book boyfriend. And I think one of my favorite parts of the whole book was Garth!! I am hoping there is more to Garth than meets the eye!!
If you want a fun heist and found family book, look no further!!
Edited after listening to the audio: I absolutely love Riley! This narrator perfectly captures Riley's spirit. It was fun to revisit this book, esp since I will be reading the next one in a day or 2. After listening, you get a better feel for Riley's emotions and turmoil, esp surrounding her former alpha and everything Max related. And I definitely still claim Max as my book boyfriend! I love that he is letting Riley prove herself but will be there when he is needed. And the twist at the end of this book has me anxious to see where this goes for Riley and finding out where she came from!
