Amy’s Betrayal (Gemstone Massacre Series) by Julia Goldhirsh – Review by Jenni Bishop
Amy’s Betrayal: An LGBTQIA+ Arthurian, Urban Fantasy by Julia Goldhirsh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Amy’s Betrayal is the second intriguing book in the Gemstone Massacre series. Make sure to read the first book Amy’s Rebellion as the books follow on. The series is an intriguing New Adult dark fantasy stories. I would also strongly suggest reading War of the Twin Swords before these two as it tells of the war and clans.
Julia packs a lot into her tales that keeps the reader engaged right the way through she has also written characters that are LGBTQIA+ inclusive. There are strong FMC’s and a cast of many with different cultures to wrap your head around that can be a bit much at times trying to remember it all. This urban fantasy story has Arthurian legends with a twist that make it that much more interesting.
Amy’s Betrayal is easily imaged due to Julia’s rich and vivid telling. With drama, action, and suspense, magic, magical lands, friendship, enchantress’s, assassins, gemstones, familiars, seers, evil intensions, a corrupt Magic Council, and shifters there is much for paranormal fantasy lovers to enjoy.
Amy can’t trust all around her and finds she needs to step up and take control before all is destroyed. God help anyone or anything that stands in her way.
