Emberly and her red hot partner, Jackson, have hit an impasse in their battle against the crazed humans infected by a plague-like virus derived from vampire blood. Their quest to unearth the leader of the group leads them into an ambush—and leaves Emberly at odds with her former lover, Sam, who’s pressuring her to join his Paranormal Investigations Team.

To make matters worse, three local witches have been kidnapped—and if their spells fall into the wrong hands, Emberly’s powers could end up smothered. With time ticking until the virus consumes the world, Emberly and Jackson must race to save the witches, find a cure, and smoke out their nemesis—or go down in a blaze of glory..

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley for an honest review.
Flameout (A Souls of Fire Novel) is the third book in this series. I have not read the other, because I didn’t know it was the third one. I definitely plan to go back and read the others. I loved the characters and story line. They were well-developed and everything flowed seamlessly. Emberly is a Phoenix, and someone is wanting to take away her fire. Without her fire, she will be unable to defeat those infected with the Crimson Death virus or the Red Plague as it is commonly known. In her searches to find the missing witches, she has to find a way to counter the spell that can take her flame. I loved this book and recommend it to everyone. I give FLAMEOUT 5/5 STARS.

As college friends Amy, Krissa and Lilly head to South Beach for a girls weekend they have no idea of the evil that lurks in plain sight. When Lilly goes missing Amy and Krissa discover they’re the only ones that might be able to save her by using Amy’s superhuman abilities. They pick up Lilly’s trail only to be swept up in a life and death conflict larger and darker than they imagined. An unexpected encounter turns the stakes in their favor briefly before they find out the daunting odds they face to find and rescue Lilly before slavers sell her and she disappears. To make matters worse, Amy may have broken the Weeia’s highest law and used her abilities in front of humans.

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.

REVIEW- BRIGHT BLAZE OF MAGIC BY JENNIFER ESTEP


“The characters are as fantastic as Estep fans have come to expect.” – RT Book Reviews

Bad Things Always Come In Threes…

As a thief, I’m good at three things: hiding in the shadows, getting in and out unseen, and uncovering secrets. I put these skills to work for the Sinclair Family, one of the magical mobs that run the tourist town of Cloudburst Falls.

Everyone knows Victor Draconi wants to take over all the other Families–and kill every last Sinclair. What they don’t know is that I’m on to him, and no way will I let the man who murdered my mom get away with hurting all the other people I care about. Especially when I’ve got places to break into, stuff to steal, and Devon Sinclair fighting right by my side…

“An adventurous ride you will never want to get off.” –#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout on Cold Burn of Magic

Bright Blaze of Magic (Black Blade) is the third book in this series.  I love Jennifer Estep’s writing! The characters and the story line are well-developed. It pulls you into the story and does not let you go until you are done. Victor Draconi is intent on taking over the town of Cloudburst Falls and getting rid of the other families.  Lila and the Sinclair family are on pins and needles awaiting for the Draconi family to strike again. Lila wants to pay back the one who killed her mother. Also, the Author mentions the Pork Pit, from her Elemental Assassins Series.  This is such an awesome series, and I recommended it to everyone. I give Bright Blaze of Magic (Black Blade) 5/5 stars.
