FLIGHT FROM MAYHAM BY YASMINE GALENORN

flight from mayhem cover
New York Times bestselling author Yasmine Galenorn presents the second Fly by Night novel, set in the realm of the Otherworld.

I’m Shimmer, a blue dragon shifter. Thanks to a mistake, I was exiled from the Dragon Reaches and sentenced to work for gorgeous, exasperating Alex Radcliffe, a vampire who owns the Fly by Night Magical Investigations Agency. Every time I turn around, somebody’s trying to kill us. But you know what they say: All’s fair in love and bounty hunting…

A serial killer is stalking the elderly Fae of Seattle, draining their bank accounts before brutally murdering them. When Chase Johnson asks for our help, Alex and I discover that the sociopath is also a shifter—able to change shape to match his victim’s deepest desires. Our friend and colleague Bette volunteers to act as bait, but the plan goes dangerously awry. Now, unless we find her first, she’s about to face her worst nightmare.

From the Paperback edition.

Flight from Mayhem (Fly by Night) is an awesome book! The characters and story line is very well-developed. When Shimmer and the others delve into a case where someone is killing older Fae and stealing their money. One of their own is put into danger. They will face something they have never seen before. They cannot believe everything they see, for the shifter can take on the life of anyone. Also, the house across the street has a mystery that they have to solve to help the ghost stuck there. I loved this book and series, and recommend it to everyone. I give FLIGHT FROM MAYHEM 5/5 STARS.

REVIEW – THE LAST DREAM KEEPER BY AMBER BENSON

the last dream keeper cover
In the second Witches of Echo Park novel, one coven must keep the world in balance and stand against a rising darkness.

Lyse MacAllister did not step into an easy role when she took over as master of the Echo Park coven of witches after her great-aunt Eleanora’s death. As she begins to forge the bonds that will help her lead her sisters, she struggles to come to terms with her growing powers. And she soon faces a deadly new threat. A group of fanatics intent on bringing about the end of times has invaded the witches Council—but the Council is turning a blind eye to the danger growing in its midst.

Only one witch is prophesied to be able to stop the encroaching darkness. And if Lyse and her blood sisters are to have any chance at protecting all we know from being lost forever, they must keep her safe—no matter what the cost…

THE LAST DREAM KEEPER is full of magic, intrigue, and action.  I love the characters and the world building. Lyse has taken over the role of leader of the coven, and she has no idea what she is doing. They must keep THE LAST DREAM KEEPER from The New World Order. This book has a lot going on in the book, and it would be easy to get lost. We get to see each members different abilities and how their lives are all intertwined. Some of the Coven members will grow and overcome their fears, disabilities and limitations. While others won’t have no visible growth, or no growth at all.The one character that has a lot of growth is Lizbeth. She has not talked in a long while, since something happened when she was a child. When she comes out of a dream and able to talk, she finds out that she is destined to become THE LAST DREAM KEEPER. I really liked this book and recommend it and the series to everyone. I give this book  4/5 stars.

REVIEW- BOUNDARY LINES BY MELISSA F. OLSON

boundary linesFitting into the Old World isn’t going very well for Boulder boundary witch Allison “Lex” Luther: she may have earned a place in a vampire’s service, but now it seems as if every supernatural creature in town has found a reason to hate her. And when Lex and her partner are assigned to investigate the suspicious disappearance of two vampires during the night of the full moon, they find themselves with more questions than answers.

Was it murder…or mutiny?

The crusade for answers will lead Lex all over the Colorado Old World, from a prison cell for a broken werewolf to a haunted Denver brothel. And when Lex determines the responsible party, the hunt is just beginning: something has been awakened in Boulder, something as old and powerful as it is terrifying. Only the woman with death in her blood can stop what’s coming.

BOUNDARY LINES grabbed me from the very first. This is the second book in the series, and the first book I have read of the series. I will definitely go back and read the first book. The characters and story very well crafted.  Allison “Lex” Luther is a boundary witch. Her magic deals with the boundary between death and life, and the other witches basically don’t want anything to do with her. They are afraid of what her magic does. Her magic has brought her back from the dead on several occasions. One time when she was younger, she drowned, and her magic brought her back. The most recent was her tour in the middle east in the military, when their convoy was hit by an IED. Everyone died, including her. Now she has to find out why magic has gone wonky in town. She will find out things about herself that she could not remember from her time of the IED attack. I love this book, and I give BOUNDARY LINES 5/5 STARS.
