The story The Seal of Solomon – Lilandra’s Reeves Adventure (Supernatural Intelligence Agency Book 2) by Nadine Travers is a fast-paced book that is entertaining to read. The story pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the final page. The book includes action, danger, magic, and magical creatures. I loved reading about the character of Lilandra Reeves. She is a witch warrior who has been called to protect and rescue the Seal of Solomon. She finds herself up against those who are determined to have the Seal. She is tempted by an offer that is both personal and emotional. Will she take the offer? Why are different factions going after magical objects? I love the character of Lilandra as she is strong, independent, and confident. She also has a side that is still affected by what has happened in the past. The book had me turning pages to find out what happens next. There are other characters introduced who interact with Lilandra. There are some who I wondered what their true motives are and others that work with her. This is an exciting tale that you don’t want to miss out on reading. I highly recommend reading it.
