Blood Magic ( DarkWorld Soul Tracker 1 by T.G. Ayer)
No spoilers ... just an honest review
I received this book free with the hopes I would read it & leave a review.
I liked this story, starts a little slow as there is a good amount of plot & character building. Mel is dynamic, stubborn often at her own expense and frankly a tour de force!
This is a good quick read& a good beginning to a series. Now on to the next book!
I read this book years before it hit TV. The book is way better than the TV show but the TV show was done better than others.
That said, this is an action packed book with love, fighting, death and inner struggle.
Oh Thad ... The thinker, planner & stoic brother. What a task ahead ... how will Thad handle the upheaval headed his way.
Dem also shines in this book and the relationship between these two brothers really comes to the forefront.
Hyacinth (AKA Cin) is a strong curvy lady who takes her talents to a Yahoo parlor! Tragedy ensues & Con & Thad meet ...
I will leave the rest for you to discover!
I do really enjoy Irish mythology; it is a newer interest for me so I am still learning about it. Morrígu is a strong goddess from around 1500 years ago when she was imprisioned by priests who saw her as a threat. Fast forward to 1797 & she is back!! It was SO fun to see how Morrígu reacted to the world in the "new time"; the 18th century as well as how she adapted or more like; didn’t adapt. She is a strong Warrior and doesn't understand the passive docile manner of the "modern" women of the time.
Dosey is a darling lady, she is naïve and very much a woman of her time. A bit of a tomboy at heart, but forced by society to become a proper lady.
Dosey’s fiancé Cillian is an petulant & spiteful guy and I don’t think he’s the right man for her. Never had an easier time disliking a character before!
In the end it was well written but I was hoping for a bit more ... maybe there is a sequel coming & I will get what I want there!
I received an advance reader copy of this book and voluntarily provided an honest review.
Oh my ... I do love a Mel story! So much drama, always on the go, saving someone, being betrayed, saving herself! Heck, she even got a new job to add to get already hectic life!
Saleem is off hopefully fixing things in his home plane, Drake is off hopefully fixing things in his home plane & Mel is left to try to fix things here!
Action packed, well written and exciting. You feel for the characters as they take their hits because they are so real!
Looking forward to the next book.
I loved Logan in Skin Deep and other books ... but now I feel like I understand more about Logan.
He is a young man with demons. This was well written & a joy to read!
Now on to the next book in the series!
I 💜💙 Greek Mythology! So that this book is steeped in it was definitely a selling point. Then you fall for the characters that are so well written they seem to be right next to you. The settings are so real I had the joy of watching the characters and events play out as I read. This is the mark of a great book & a fantastic story teller.
To my delight, I get about half way ingo the book to find out my next favorite mythology would be joining the mix ... Celtic Mythology! Who doesn't love the Fae Folk?
The two mythologies are both as different as they are alike but blended beautifully in this story!
I am very much looking forward to the next book!
