Rating/Review: ☕☕☕☕☕ ( 5 cups of jolt of caffeine guaranteed to keep you reading while contemplating where its all going to lead in the end!)


 I really loved Stray Magic, the world building was quite good and I wasn't bombarded with a lot of information, instead it was doled out as the plot progressed. The intro caught my attention right away, the character of Shiloh, a para Marshall who comes home from an assignment finds her current lover in bed, the way she likes it. It is such a departure from most scenes like these, where it's usually the man finding his naked lover.  Stray Magic's plot centers around a mystery of disappearing vampires and werewolves and for Shiloh, the disappearance of her team leader. Forced to help one of the vampire Masters, Tennyson, Shiloh along with her team goes on a mission to solve the disappearances. What they uncover leaves them in doubt of who really is their allies and who is the enemy.

 Stray Magic is gripping, entertaining and reveals a lot of familiar dogmas regarding paranormal beings plus a lot of new ones. It doesn't end in any cliffhangers but you definitely want to continue reading the series since there are other loose ends that haven't been completely solved. I love where the story takes the readers and I love how Shiloh's character seems so developed with a lot more of her character still waiting to be revealed.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Shiloh Harrison was hoping for a few days off to recover from a particularly nasty assignment, preferably with the help of the talented hands (and, well, the rest of his body too) of her sexy boyfriend, Vincent. But when a group of vampires takes an entire trailer park hostage, there’s nothing to do but make her apologies and get to the scene.

Such is the life of a Federal Marshal in the Paranormal Investigators Unit.

Yet this isn’t like her typical track-and-nab case: something is going on that has vampires scared, and it takes all her strength not to imagine what could frighten such powerful creatures. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have that option. Her boss is MIA, someone is snatching vampires, and there’s a ticking clock that can only end one way: a bloodbath.

Unless she can stop it.


Here’s what Publishers Weekly has to say about STRAY MAGIC:

 “An impressive new warrior arises in Meding’s spellbinding urban fantasy series launch … Meding has created a fast-paced story that weaves the mundane and magical together with unparalleled ease, all while dropping intriguing bread crumbs for tales yet to be told. This new world of wishes, magic, and high-stakes action is sure to be popular.”
About the Author:
Born and raised in Southern Delaware, Kelly Meding survived five years in the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia, only to retreat back to the peace and sanity of the Eastern Shore. An avid reader and film buff, she discovered Freddy Krueger at a very young age, and has since had a lifelong obsession with horror, science fiction, and fantasy, on which she blames her interest in vampires, psychic powers, superheroes, and all things paranormal.

Blog Hop Giveaway:Switched by Cassie Mae

Switched by Cassie Mae was a funny and often frustrating read but highly entertaining. Kayla, Wesley, Reagan and Talon were all friends. Reagan and Talon were a couple while Kayla and Wesley, well they've been pining for these two since high school. Told from Kayla's point of view, she, dragging Wesley along hatches a plan to break the happy couple apart. Because as everyone can see Talon is her soulmate while Wesley is Reagan's. Thus starts the funs and the laughs and the musical chairs between the four. Kayla as a character was frustrating initially for me, I have no idea whether its because she was being an evil bestfriend to Reagan or she really was in love with Talon. I could not really hate nor empathize with her at the start. As the story progressed and the romance part began, her sudden self awareness becomes believable. The pace, the tone and style of writing was excellent. I can see that Cassie Mae has developed her own unique voice in the ...

Old letters and a lost comb, a crumbling old home and family secrets; it seems The Emerald Comb is a typical recipe for a modern day English mystery. Just as anyone fond of English mysteries, I was drawn like a moth to a flame. Katie, obsessed with her lineage, spends a lot of time tracing her ancestors, the St. Clairs much to her husband's disdain. When she steps into Kingsley House, the old residence of the St. Clairs, buried secrets of the family starts to unfold and it all becomes even more muddled for Katie. Who was the owner of the emerald comb? Which part of the family history does it come in?
