Forbidden Magic Release Blitz Blog Hop

By -
Reader Girls is one of the participating hosts for today's Forbidden Magic Release Blitz Blog Hop. This tour is run by Innovative Online Book Tours and it is our first time hosting one of their tours. Fans of paranormal romance will want to check out Jennifer Lyon's latest book, as well as her other titles.


Forbidden Magic (A Wing Slayer Hunter enovella)
By Jennifer Lyon
Genre: Paranormal romance
Format: e-novella

Book Blurb: Wing Slayer Hunter, Ram Virtos, must find his soul mirror witch and convince her to mate with him before his Thunderbird tattoo kills him. But while that witch might be able to save Ram’s life, it is the mysterious Ginny Stone who inflames his passion.

Ginny has been deeply fascinated by Ram for months, but dared not act on it or she’d be torn from her mortal life on earth and thrust into her dreaded destiny as a half-breed angel. But when her beloved brother’s soul is at stake, she must do the one thing she both fears and desires…

Take Ram to her bed.

READER GIRLS REVIEW:

My thoughts: Despite this e-novella being my first foray into the Jennifer Lyon's Wing Slayer world, it will not be my last. The author has created a tightly woven tale set in a wonderful paranormal world of wing slayers, hunters, angels, and witches. Ram is a Wing Slayer Hunter who has met his life mate, his "soul mirror." She doesn't want him and that's fine with Ram, especially when he's so deeply in love with bartender Ginny, a mortal woman. But what exactly is she?

Told from both the male and female perspective, the reader is well aware of how each person is feeling and understands their actions. The scenes between Ram and Ginny were heartfelt and incredibly tense, the attraction between these two is palpable and incredibly believable. Ginny is sympathetic as the daughter of a human mother who fell for an angel. Dad isn't the paternal type and his power over Ginny is unsettling and scornful. When he threatens the soul of her beloved brother, Ginny has no choice but to do her father's bidding. 


I wondered how the author would tackle this and I was quite impressed. No spoilers here--read the story for yourself--but I will gladly admit I thoroughly enjoyed this paranormal novella. The quick pacing kept me fully absorbed in this rich fantastical world, the descriptions put me in each scene and the story played like a movie in my mind. Lock the door, turn off the cell phone,  sit back and let the characters of Forbidden Magic enchant you. 

Fans of sexy paranormal tales will want to pick Forbidden Magic and the entire series up like right now. (And fans already acquainted with the Wing Slayer world have another addition to enjoy).

Other books in the series: Blood Magic, Soul Magic, Night Magic, Sinful Magic.

Rating: Liked it.

The Devouring #2: Soulstice by Simon Holt

Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 272 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers (September 1, 2009) Book summary: The terrifying, nail-biting, and grossly intriguing sequel to The Devouring.  It's been six months since Reggie first discovered and fought against the Vours, malicious and demonic beings that inhabit human bodies on the eve of the Winter Solstice.  The Vours still haunt Reggie, but only in her dreams-until one night, when an unexpected visitor turns her nightmares into reality. My Review: Soulstice was the first book I finished for the new year. Holt has created a gripping, realistic horroriffic fantasy with likable characters, a female heroine we can root for, and a truly evil protagonist. I realized this is the first YA horror series I've read and totally enjoyed. Reggie is back, wondering what the Vours are doing in the quiet time since the incident with Quinn and her rescue of brother Henry six months earlier. The peaceful break d...
