Next Week 1-23-12

Magic for a Price was written by Devon Monk.  I finished this novel just last week and could not put it down.  It was a satisfying ending to a beloved series.  It is the ninth and finial novel in the Allie Beckstrom series.  Magic for a Price is a supernatural action novel.  I love happy endings and was especially happy that the author, Monk, gave the characters the ending they deserved. I love the characters in this series and was thoroughly entertained by the journey that they go on.

I finished this novel The Shattered Dark. The Shattered Dark was written by Sandy Williams. I loved the first novel called the Shadow Reader.  I liked the continuation of the romance between Aren and Mckenzie and would like to see even more development in that aspect of the plot, in the next novel.  I hope that Aren and Mckenzie resolve their issues in the next novel as well. The Shattered Dark picked up right where the Shadow Reader ended.  I really am enjoying reading this series and look forward to any future novels by this author.

Next Week, I will review the novel Cry Wolf. Cry Wolf was written by Patricia Briggs.  It is a supernatural action novel. It is the first full length novel of the series, Alpha and Omega. The first actual novel was in a book with several short novels written by several authors called On the Prowl. I loved reading about the development of the two main characters, Charles and Anna. I also enjoyed reading about Anna and Charles’ relationship and how it progressed. The plotline was entertaining but had some slow sections. The Alpha and Omega series is an offshoot of the Mercy Thompson series. Cry Wolf is a pretty entertaining novel to be engrossed in. 

I will also review the novel Mercy, next week. Mercy was written by Rebecca Lim. Mercy is the first novel in its series. It is a young adult supernatural novel.  Mercy is a fallen angel, who wakes up in human bodies and tries to help the humans with whatever problems they were currently having.  Mercy has no memory of her life before she fell.  In this novel, she awakens as Carmen and helps discover who was behind several kidnappings that were happening.  Mercy is a very likable and sympathetic character.   I liked this novel, but it was not my favorite angel novel.
