Sea Mage (The Nightshade Guild, Book 10) by Louisa Bacio – Review by Alexandra Leith

Sea Mage by Louisa Bacio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 10 in an author collaborative  short story series. This was my first book in the series but each book is similar to a standalone. I say similar because each book follows the toddler Queen Ameria who is being protected by the Nightshade Guild until her family’s assassins are found. Each book follows a different Mage of the Nightshade Guild that has sworn to protect her. This book follows Serena, a powerful mermaid shifter who loves the ocean and beach life. Although she is powerful she begins to fear that her power isn’t enough to protect the young queen from her evil pursuers, so she decides to take up her love interest Peder’s offer to help.

Peder is the mysterious and enchanting leader of shifter sea dragons and he is willing to risk his secrets to help Serena protect Ameria from the monsters that stalk them in the night.

This book was full of thrill, chase, suspense and monsters that you would not expect. I did enjoy this book, but I did feel a little loss at times because I did not read Ameria’s previous back story in the other books. Because it was a short story I couldn’t really feel the connection between Peder and Serena. Despite all of that I still loved the ride of the story. The world building the author did and the immense strength of the main character was amazing and I can’t wait to go back to read the previous and future ones.
