Saved by the Spell by Casey Keen

Title: Saved by the Spell (Book Two of the Anna Wolfe Series)

Author: Casey Keen

Genre: Paranormal & Urban Fantasy Romance

Release Date: October 11, 2013

Tour Host: Lady Amber's Tours

 

 

Blurb:

Two worlds in danger.

 A Grand Witch behind bars.

 A stunning Werewolf and a devilishly handsome Warlock’s pursuit for her affections.

 You think you have it bad? Grand Witch Anna Wolfe awakens to find herself imprisoned by Micah, the Prince of Darkness. Micah’s on a quest for world domination—and it’s not just the Netherworld that’s in danger. The human world is threatened as well. Now, it’s up to Anna to escape from Micah's clutches so she can locate The Scholars and an ancient book before both falls into the wrong hands.

 

With a fiercely loyal Werewolf and immensely powerful Warlock by her side, what can go wrong? 

 A lot apparently. 

 

If fighting off the Prince of Darkness wasn’t enough, Anna’s emotions are a whirlwind, as she battles between what fate demands and what she actually wants.

 

 

Author Bio:
I was born in Philadelphia, PA and grew up in the suburban outskirts of this amazing city. I love anything paranormal and/or supernatural - seriously I live in Philadelphia! For those of you who don’t know, this city is an awesomely haunted place! This healthy paranormal addiction has provided me the motivation to write my first book, “I’ll Be Damned.” I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and I'm currently working on the Anna Wolfe Series

Excerpt:

 Heat flows under my skin like lava, boiling in my chest. I shift in the prison chair, hoping to displace my sudden fury. Micah turns back to me, smiling like a child.

“Ah, Valen,” he smiles coyly, “your Achilles heel.”

Hearing Valen’s name passing through his repulsive lips angers me more. “I'm going to kill you,” I promise him.

Micah strides over to me, bending down until he's right next to my ear. “I'm going to find him Anna... then I'm going to torture him over and over again while you watch,” he whispers softly, lightly grazing my earlobe with his lip. “I'm going to kill him right in front of you and once I’m finished with him, I am going to kill all of your family and friends—one by one, until you have no one left but me,” he finishes. “You are mine Anna, and nothing you can do will ever change that.”

My jaw tightens and I grind my teeth in anger. I squirm violently, attempting to spell the bindings off me. Rage takes over, blinding me of all rational thoughts. I need to get out of this chair and save Valen—as well as everyone else. The constraints refuse to budge and my magic is still unresponsive. I calm down unwillingly, deciding to conserve my energy. I glower at Micah as he throws his head back, laughing victoriously.

Review:
Savannah really heats up when Anna Wolfe moves to town. Saved by the Spell is Book 2 of The Anna Wolfe Series. I would recommend you read book 1 - I'll be Damned first.   Casey Keen takes us on a humorous and thoroughly enjoyable trip as Anna discovers her identity as a Grand Witch and searches for a magical book that everyone wants to control. She is a great character, smart and full of spunk. Her sister Janie, and friends Kristy and Martello are the kind of characters that you hope to see again. There is an attractive villain, Micah who happens to be the Prince of Darkness, and two gorgeous heroes Valen (a werewolf) and Roman (a warlock). Casey Keen does a wonderful job of keeping the reader guessing and when the book is over, wanting the next book in the series.

My Review:

Rourk by Julia Crane is a novella length book. It is a continuation of Keegan's Chronicles, and I would recommmend reading the books in order, although you can enjoy this story if it is read without the series. The first book in the series is Coexist, followed by Conflicted and Consumed. Keegan's Chronicles is also packaged in one book on Amazon. There are two books that follow the stories of Keegan's friends - Lauren, and Anna. Keegan and Rourk are Elfin soul mates. Rourk's story occurs shortly after their marriage. Rourk has joined the US Army and is deployed to Afghanistan. While on a mission, he encounters an evil Djinn. The Djinn flees from Rourk vowing revenge. There are so many emotions that this book calls forth from the reader. The story deals with marriage, soldiers off fighting war, love and loss.  Be prepared to cry (I did). I really hate to give spoilers in a review and this story is very hard to describe without giving away the plot.  The world building is interesting and will leave paranormal fans wishing for more. Romance fans will not be disappointed by the love affair. There is suspense and drama. Julia did a great job of describing the emotions and details of a deployment for the family and the soldier. Rourk really is a great story. I did wish that the story was a full novel length because I was sad to reach the end. There are other characters in the book that are begging to have a book of their own, so I hope to see more of the Keegan stories in the future.

 

Winter Fire Release and Giveaway

Winter Fire by Lizzy Ford Book Tour and Giveaway - Book Tour by B3 Tours

Synopsis: With a Dark witching seeking revenge against him, Beck, the eighteen-year-old Master of Light, must find a way to protect those he loves, the witchlings - and his heart. His duty is further complicated by Morgan, a beautiful Fire witching with a secret that threatens to destroy the progress he's made protecting the Light. This is the third book in the bestselling Witchling Series.
"Dark Summer," the first book in the series, is currently rated as the #1 Top Rated Teen Romance on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/top-rated/digital-text/6064565011

My Review: Winter Fire is a YA paranormal romance, but adults fans of paranormal will find plenty of reasons to become a fan of the Witchlings Series. This is Book 3, and while it is not necessary to read the first three books, I would recommend reading the series in order. Book 1 is Dark Summer, and Book 2 is Autumn Storm. Winter Fire has my favorite characters - the twins Decker and Beck, Summer and Sam, along with interesting new characters. Why do I love the Witchling Series? There is magic which is both light and dark, but Lizzy Ford deals with the shades of grey. The light magic is not all good, and the dark magic can be good. Like life the distinction is not black and white. The stories are not the typical teen romance. The characters deal with issues like teen pregnancy, and happily ever after is not a guarantee. The are lots of suspenseful moments, with romance as soul mates struggle to overcome the obstacles separating them. I look forward to more books in this series.

Giveaway: I am giving away an ebook copy of Winter Fire along with a custom beaded bookmark.
