Another good one. I have to stop myself after this one or I'll devour the whole series in one go and that would be bad.In the world of this series magic has been discovered and harnessed and is sold like a utility. Anyone can use it if they've got the means to buy it or they only use it for tiny thi...

Magic in the Blood picks up Allie's story not long after the ending of Magic to the Bone. After events at the end of the first book forced her to use a great deal of magic Allie is still recovering both physically and mentally from the after effects. She has very few memories from the past few wee...

This was a pretty decent follow up to the first book and went some way to improving on the characterization that I felt was lacking in book one, Magic to the Bone.Having the main character, Allie Beckstom, have her memories reset back to her back to her 25th birthday, which was the opening scene of ...

I think I have a new favorite series ... Magic in the Blood is captivating. The story happens not long after the first book, Magic to the Bone. Allie is asked for help by the Magical Enforcement Response Corps to help find missing girls. But that is not all what she is facing. She starts seeing her ...

As mentioned by lots of other reviewers, the first third of this book was really slow, with discussions of Allie's memory loss and it dragged so much for me, that I put the book down and read some other stuff first. Since I picked it up again, the story picked up speed and I really enjoyed it.This ...

First thing, has Allie ever heard of a rain coat. I have a very nice lined Anne Klein black rain jacket with a removable hood. Although Sacramento gets half the rain of Portland, I use it instead of wool hats, wool jackets, no umbrellas. Does she want to suffer? So many times when she's soaked I...

For me, this book was frustrating to review and read, especially the first third of this book. Allison, is still suffering the effects of losing 3 weeks of her memories from the events in Magic to the Bone. That includes all memories of her so called love entanglement with the mysterious Zavyion Jon...

The second installment of Devon Monk's Allie Beckstrom series picks up right where book one left off. I will do my best to omit spoilers, but some details from book one may spill into this review.After clearing her name, Allie just wants life to go back to normal, whatever normal is. Allie doesn't r...

This book picks up a short while after the first book ended. Allie still remembers almost nothing about the events in the previous book. She's relocated to a nicer apartment building and she still owes the police a statement about what happened the day of her father's murder. She's summoned by the p...
