My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is intriguing and fun to read! This book is a page-turner filled with action on each page and great world building in a fantasy land. I’ve enjoyed where it took me in Alice’s adventure. I love to follow the story of where Alice comes from and what she’ll do to rise above it at all costs. The fact that she’s out to set herself apart from her grandpa is truly spectacular and the supernatural fantasy realm is great for exploring your imagination especially with her ghost sidekick, Malcolm.

Heart of Malice (Alice Worth book 1) is a wonderful mix of paranormal romance and mystery that worked really well together. Set in a world where supes and humans mix, Alice Worth is a paranormal private eye, as a mage she is able to use her special talents to find answers where the human law enforcement may struggle. When she is hired to find some missing books for a new client, Alice finds that there is much more to the case than initially met the eye. This book has a wonderful cast of characters, I love the mystery behind Alice and really want to find out more about the secrets of her past. I also loved Malcolm the troubled ghost and Sean the sexy shifter. I am really looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.

Heart of Malice is the first book in the Alice Worth series by Lisa Edmonds. This is my first read from Ms. Edmonds, so I was quite intrigued by what her story would reveal. I love all things fantasy and paranormal- so this book captured my attention immediately. This is a really great start to the series- it’s a cleverly crafted paranormal urban fantasy- with a paranormal private investigator and her ghostly partner, magic, danger, sinister forces, hidden agendas, secrets, intrigue, and mystery. Ms. Edmonds proves to be a talented storyteller with stellar world building skills which really brought this story to life. Weaving a story encompassing such a multitude of supernatural elements and characters really gave my imagination a workout- in a great way. I am really looking forward to exploring the rest of this series and seeing what comes next!

Thank you, Lisa Edmonds!

Heart Of Malice is the first book in the Alice Worth series by Lisa Edmonds. This book had me hooked from the first page. The witty dialog and strong plot line has me wondering how the rest of this series is going to play out. Alice is a strong women who is atoning for her past. I think she is going to grow into a strong heroine. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Edmunds but definitely won’t be the last. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heart of Malice is the first book in the Alice Worth series. And, I have to say that the series is off to a great start!

The first chapter starts out with action which sucks you right into the story. I liked the unique way the ghost is portrayed in chapter two. I also found the interaction between the ghost and Alice amusing. Alice sort of reminds me of Jessica Jones.

Something I’m wondering about is how the author decided on what is in the Supernatural and Paranormal Entity Registration Act. I’d be interested to know what went into that process. It’s a good detail that adds a more realistic feel to the story.

All of that rambling to say, this is a good read. The only thing I wish had been different is that Alice demonstrated more of her power. And, maybe that changes in subsequent books as the character grows. I’ll have to read and see.

Heart of Malice by Lisa Edmonds is the first book in the Alice Worth series. It is an action packed book that will keep you on your toes.
This is my first book by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the book. What I found was a well written story that was certainly interesting. I liked the whole escape from her past whole still using her powers.
I did at times struggle with the character a little – I wish she could have been a little more tough and hold her own a bit better. However I do think she had a great depth and intrigue about her that kept my interest. This was an overall good book and I am looking forward to seeing whah the rest of the series holds.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give Heart of Malice (Alice Worth Book 1) by Lisa Edmonds, 5 stars.

This is phenomenal urban fantasy. It is a little on the darker side, but the story is so unique and interesting. Alice’s background is something the like I have not really read before and you can see this in the way she handles her investigation. At the same time, she is knows she’s not perfect and learns from that. She reminds me of Mercy Thompson or Anita Blake. Malcolm is great too and I really like the addition of a secondary character. Then there’s the story itself. I really enjoyed it and liked the fact that I was reading something I have not read before. Add in the twists and turns, this makes for a complete story that you can’t get enough of. I eagerly await when I can delve back into this world in the next book.

If you are a fan of strong female characters in an urban fantasy setting with some mystery and action thrown in, this book is for you.

I loved this story! It really kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was happening next. I was surprised and hopeful all at the same time throughout this one. Then there are the characters. They breathe life into this story. Alice Worth is one to keep an eye on. She has a past that is sooo secret and a new life that she shields to keep her past quiet. Trust issues are one of her biggest hang-ups. Then we have the lovely secondary characters. Mal, Sean and Charles. I have to say Mal is pretty high on my list. He is an amazing and helpful sidekick. The other two are each paranormals high in society who covet Alice and hinder each other’s pursuits.

Overall this is a wonderful beginning to this series. It makes me want to read more and more. Next please!

Heart of Malice (Alice Worth #1) by Lisa Edmonds is an Urban Fantasy paranormal story that has it all. Magic, Witches, vampires, werewolves and much more. Lisa’s world building is well done and with so many creatures her imagination could go wild, which I so look forward to. Our feisty heroine is a PI and is well written and she is sassy and strong, clever and a powerful survivor. I absolutely love the ghost witch, Malcolm who has become her new PI partner in crime. The plot is interesting and is fast-paced and brings us a mysterious magical journey.

This is a great start to the series and have great expectations for the next book.

This is a great read. Full of adventure and mystery as well as romance and magic. It has a great strong female character who is independent but not afraid to accept help.

Alice is in hiding. She has escaped from her grandfathers group where she was physically abused, tortured and made to use her magic skills for evil. After her escape she builds a life for herself as a PI.

Things are running along smoothly until her client Natalie hires her to help her locate things missing from her grandmothers house. But Natalie and this situation aren’t what they seem and when Natalie shows the signs of powers Alice has to help guide her and find the missing object.

Add to Alice’s life the Ghost Malcolm who is attached to her and helps her investigating and her new love interest in Sean the werewolf and she definately has her hands full.

This book was a lot! Like prepare yourself to get lost for a few hours or more because you are not going to want to stop until you read that last page and find out how this book will come to a conclusion. I am new to Lisa Edmonds but the cover drew in my attention and I just had to know what this urban fantasy would hold. Alice is our main gal! She has a history in the dark that she wants to keep there in order to keep her safe. There are a lot of people who could use her memory and history to their advantage and not Alice’s. Alice also runs her own PI firm and has just taken on a case that will also test her and her magic skills. I love all the components of magic that are at play in this novel and I was always very entertained. I hope we will get many more of Alice and her adventures in the near future!

Lisa Edmonds is a new author to me. Her writing style kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. Her plot line is engaging with every page I wanted more and more. Her characters are complex and complicated. I can imagine the story with her imagery. Alice is the main character. She was a prisoner to a crime syndicate, who escaped through faking her death. Now she is a PI for the supernatural. She has stumbled on a case that will test her abilities. Alice will have to find her client and the object before it is too late. I recommend this story and I can’t wait until the next book.

5 Stars

Alice has powerful magic. Since the age of six she was forced to do some unthinkable things to make her grandfather powerful and feared. Her only way to escape was to fake her own death. Taking on a new identity, she now works as a private investigator. She takes on a case that she believes is simple but turns out to be much more complicated and she almost dies. Though she trusts no one, she realizes that she needs help and recruits a ghost, werewolf and a vampire. With such a mish mash of supernaturals, things get quite interesting.

I loved this book! Alice is a force to be reckoned with yet she is insecure and closed off for the most part. Opening up is hard for her considering her past. I adored the characters and the dynamics between each of them. The world building and premise of the story will keep you riveted to your seat unable to put the book down. This is going to be an awesome series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Heart of Malice by Lisa Edmonds a four-star read with heart. This is the first novel in the Alice Worth series and shows great promise for the series, this has some very well done world building as it encompasses a variety of different characters and they each have their own personal quirks, that make them so much more. Alice the main character is nicely done, she is hiding from a scary past, but while hiding she is also trying to atone for things that were beyond her control, as we all know guilt doesn’t always follow the correct rules. Alice was believable as a private investigator, she had a real awareness to her, I am hopeful for the rest of this series as we have met some great characters that I am sure we will only fall harder in love with the more we get to know them.

Heart of Malice (Alice Worth Book 1) by Lisa Edmonds was one terrific book. The characters are all very well developed and so very unique. The plot was very well thought out, every action the characters take, and the rationales behind those actions. The story in and of itself is mind snagging but the thirst for more is tantalizing. Be warned there is mature content to this story, not so much that you are constantly skipping through it but it is in there. So be forewarned. Great action, great dialogue. Worth a good read.

I loved reading the book Heart of Malice (Alice Worth Book 1) by Lisa Edmonds. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. The story includes magic, shifters, mages, mystery, and danger. The book is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with the characters. I loved reading about Alice. She is a PI of the Supernatural. Alice is intelligent, strong, and fiercely independent. She doesn’t like to rely on anyone but herself. The story finds her and Malcolm, a ghost with a past just like herself, on a mission to find an object of power. What happens next has Alice looking for someone with a dangerous secret and an unknown agenda. Will Alice find the object of power? How much danger is Alice in? What does her future hold? Read this book to find out. This story has both an amazing plot and unforgettable characters. The author does a wonderful job in world building and I loved reading the story of what has happened in the past to both Alice and Malcolm. Other characters are introduced and some of them are friendly and helpful while others have their plans and will do anything to make sure their agenda comes to pass. This is an exciting and entertaining story that you will not want to miss out on. I highly recommend reading it.

I enjoyed this paranormal-fantasy story. This is a well developed story that brings fantasy to a new level. I was pulled in right from the beginning and kept engaged to the end. I had no problems connecting with the characters. Alice has a past and magic has been part of that. Now that she has run from that past, she starts a life over again. She is a private investigator that takes on cases of the supernatural. She is hired to find a mysterious object that has some special powers. The story takes on survival of power and life. There is so much going on in this story that you will not want to miss it. Find out what happens as Alice as she walks a thin line between the present and the past. I highly recommend this book.
