SHADES OF MEMORY BY DIANA PHARAOH FRANCIS

Shades of Memory cover
“Exceptional!” –Jill Smith, RT Book Reviews on The Diamond City Magic series

Riley’s lost the last damned thing she’s willing to lose. She’s declaring war and prisoners are optional.

After escaping the FBI, Riley and her family have become fugitives, and not just from the law. Every bad guy on the planet wants a piece of Riley. Gregg has been kidnapped. Worse than that, Price’s newly discovered magic is dangerously out of control, and her own is trying to kill her. She has little time to worry about any of that before all hell breaks loose in Diamond City, and she finds herself smack dab in the crossfire.

With the clock ticking down, Riley gathers her friends and family to execute a Hail Mary plan that will pit them against seven of the most dangerous thugs in Diamond City, a serial killer, Riley’s psychopath father, and a mysterious billionaire with plans of his own. If she succeeds, she makes herself an even bigger target. If she fails, everybody she cares about dies.

But the shadows hold danger even Riley will never see coming . . . .

Diana Pharaoh Francis is the acclaimed author of a dozen fantasy and urban fantasy novels. Her books have been nominated for the Mary Roberts Rinehart Award and RT’s Best Urban Fantasy. Shades of Memory is the fourth book in her exciting new urban fantasy series–The Diamond City Magic Novels.

WHISPER OF SHADOWS by DIANA PHARAOH FRANCIS

WHISPER OF SHADOWS COVER

Will the Whisper of Shadows pull Riley in?

War is coming . . .

When the FBI uses an anti-magic law to arrest and torture Riley’s boyfriend, they have no idea what hell they are about to unleash. If Riley can’t rescue Clay before he breaks, the result will be a disaster of epic proportions.

With time running out, Riley and her family must rely on two people more likely to stab them in the back than actually help. And, even if Riley manages the rescue, she’s still got to deal with two kidnappings and the return of her dad from the dead–the same dad who’d been willing to see her dead to protect his secrets.

What’s a girl to do? Kick ass, take names, and protect those she cares about at all costs.

Whisper of Shadows (The Diamond City Magic Novels) is the third book in the Diamond city magic novels. The writing is beautifully done. It starts out with Riley attending dinner with Price at her Step-mothers house with her family. When dear old Dad decides to show up. Riley doesn’t trust her Dad, because he got married soon after her Mom was killed and later leaves his wife and children with out a word. He warns her that the FBI wants Price. This is when they her knocking on the door. Her Dad leaves before the FBI are let into the house. Price is then taken into custody and Riley goes to tell Price’s brother that he has been taken in. When Riley and Price’s brother is being chased on their way to see Price, they find out that they want Riley also. This book has a lot of action through out the book. Riley will test her magic to the limit. I was hooked from the very first chapter. Will they be in time to save Price or will they be captured also. Will the Whisper of Shadows (The Diamond City Magic Novels) pull Riley in? If you have not started this series, I recommend that you do. I give Whisper of Shadows (The Diamond City Magic Novels) 5/5 stars.
