Saint Code: Lost by Megan Mackie
Four Stars

Saint Code: Lost is the fourth book in the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie. Although this book is the fourth in the series it set before the other books in the series, so it can be read as a stand alone. I highly recommend you read the whole series because they are all fabulous. This is not my usual genre, but the writing, and world building just sucked me right in. St. Augustine is such a strong character, I fell in love with her right from the start. The action and adventure was non stop throughout the whole story, and I couldn’t believe that the end came so soon. I highly recommend this story to everyone, even if this is not a genre that you would normally read, because it is very entertaining and well worth your time. I can’t wait to see where Ms. Mackie takes us next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie and is a unique and unusual series but highly addictive. You don’t have to read the other books first but ​I recommend that you do because the characters are seen in the other books. The world that Megan has created is a complicated web and it took me a while to sort it all in my head and had to re-read some parts to get it straight it is still a story that I could not put down.

St. Augustine is one character that is sassy and a take no prisoners woman and the detail is vivid and draws you in. I won’t reveal any more because you need to read it for yourself.

I look forward to see what comes next from Megan.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie is a dark fantasy read that will take you to the edge of what you imagine is real and then tip you over to further expand your imagination. St. Augustina is the main character of this story, but just like several of the other stories in this series, there are overlapping characters – this particular one focus on the Saints. This story also takes on a slightly different dynamic than the others, but yet, still holds some of the Lucky Devil “feel” that the author has creatively grounded into the foundation of these stories. St. Augustina is a complicated, but unique individual and reading along on this story into the cyber world was entertaining. Megan Mackie is truly a inspiring author in the way she weaves her story lines in and out of what is expected and setting the bar for something challenging and special.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book of The Lucky Devil Series and it reads differently than the other stories… a little more cyberpunk (that was NOT the word I was going to use but my Galaxy S10 predictive text picked it so I am going with it) than the others. It has been a little bit since I started this series and the characters seemed foreign. This isn’t a bad thing, just something I feel I should point out.

I typically do not like reading overly detailed descriptions yet there is something about the way this is written… I read it in a very black and white old timely detective movie way. Very noir (THAT’S the word I was looking for above) “It seemed that everyone who hired someone from the underbelly of society had expectations that it was smoke and mirrors, and spy thriller.”

This was a very fast read that I enjoyed and would absolutely recommend.

Saint Code: Lost by Megan Mackie is the fourth book in the Lucky Devil Series. I recommend reading these in order but could be read as a standalone. This book is about St. Augustina. She is a cyber spy who will work for anyone who can pay her. This job takes her in all sorts of weird directions that eventually tie together. I really like the setting in a cyberpunk reality and the characters are really interesting. The whole of the story works well together and has me reading to find out where the story will go next. I like that the author uses elements which relate to our reality and incorporates them into this world we are put into. These elements help the reader get closer to the story and the characters. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Saint Code: Lost (The Lucky Devil 4) by Megan Mackie was fast pace, thrilling and just, wow.

This wonder was another perfect addition to this ever growing multi level, story/magical world. Though it says book 4, it’s more like a prequel, as it does take place before the start of the main series. So in saying that, if you haven’t read the first two books with the main plot, and characters, then you will have no worries about spoilers from this one.

So, where do I start, this little wonder sure was a kicker, coming in at a short 140 pages, this fast read packs a powerful punch. The detail was on point, the tone and flow was smooths and gets this wonder moving, and our MC, St. Augustina was a joy to read about and get to know. I may have a girl crush on her. She’s powerful, takes no BS and just, an outstandingly well written character, you can’t go wrong with an MC like that. And if the MC didn’t keep you reading, then the compelling plot, drama and action will.

Overall this book is a spoil 5 star read, and it gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

4 Stars

I just finished this story and again it was beautifully written and being the 4th in this series, I do feel Im liking them better as they go. I still get easily confused but that’s not the authors fault, Im invested enough in this series that I keep reading even though the genre is just not something I normally like or read. I chalk this up to the fantastic writing style of this author.

There is so much going on in this book and there were a couple times I literally stopped and had to really think about what was happening. Saint Augustina is the main player and Saint Benedict played a very large part in this entire book. I loved the interaction between these two and the story of their past. I think I somewhat understand what happened at the end between the two of them but you’d have to read it yourself to get it.

I wasn’t sure about the orange lady at first but quickly found myself really liking her character. Saint Augustina’s story broke my heart and the ending had me bawling.

It’s weird for me to say that I’m actually really looking forward to where this author plans to take this series next, who knows maybe by the time I finish reading them all I’ll be a convert to this genre or at least find that Im understanding it all better.

Amazing writing and I can’t wait for more. I highly recommend reading all of these in order. Everything kind of ties together in a weird way and if I hadn’t read the ones before I know I really would have been lost.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t think I truly knew what I was getting myself into when I first started the Saint Code series from Megan Mackie, but I truly and loving it four books later. I would HIGHLY recommend that you read all of this series in order. With that said, this is supposed to be able to be read as a standalone. However, with this series I personally think it would be highly difficult to fully grasp everything that is going on without the full build of each book. The world that is created is magical and fun but complicated. Granted, this is just my opinion, however, and one from someone who normally finds books in this genera complicated and confusing. I promise that though Mackie’s Saint Code is one of those, it is worth it.

You won’t find any spoilers in this review, but I will tell you that I adored St. Augustine. She is one kickbutt female character and I truly enjoyed reading all about her. The adventure and detail to the story is vivid as ever and one that you will find yourself lost in until you realize you have finished the book in a quick fell swoop. I know I had only intended to read a bit at first with this book but found myself reading well past my bedtime to see how things worked out. I can’t wait to see what will come next from Ms. Mackie!

Saint Code is book 4 in The Lucky Devils Series, a series which can be read as standalone’s, but it’s a series that shouldn’t be missed! This book had me constantly turning the pages. I couldn’t put this read down. Once again the characters that are a part of this series are unforgettable but especially St Augustine she still continues to intrigue me and wants me to find out more and follow her story through this read.
This story from the beginning was well paced, had you utterly captivated and each book just seems to be getting better and better!

Megan Mackie has become one of my go-to authors after reading this series, and I can guarantee she will become yours too! This is a book not to be missed, and most definitely not the series, I highly recommend this book.

The story Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie is an amazing fantasy book. It is a story that pulled me in and didn’t let me go until I had finished the last page. I love how the author is so detailed in her writing. I felt like I was right there with the characters. I enjoyed reading about the character of St. Augustina. She is strong, independent, and intelligent. She has taken a job that keeps her on her toes and she finds the attacks that happen get more personal and deadly. Is someone out to get her? Will she survive? Read this book to find out. The story has action, danger, and mystery. The story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. The storyline is intriguing and will hook you in right from the start. There are additional characters that are introduced and some are familiar as they have been brought forward from the other books in the series. The book takes you on a wild ride that doesn’t stop until the very end. I would highly recommend reading both this book and the series.

This is fast paced and everything that happens will keep you on your toes as its off the wall but so much fun. St Augustina is a powerful character and one that will compel you to read the story, its not just action that moves the story along but the drama will keep you reading.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This book can be a standalone, but I recommend you read the whole series.

Saint Augustina is a cyber-spy. She is strong, as well as strong willed. She can take care of herself in a fight. I think that is why I like her character. It was fun reading and learning about the other characters as well. This futuristic story has way to many spoilers. No spoilers here. You just need to read it.

Megan Mackie has written this fast paced suspense story. It is well written and just fun to read. It is a page turning, can’t get off my seat, until I finish, kind of book. I was glued to the book and had to finish in one read. I didn’t read much of this type of book, but I can say I’ll be looking for more in this genre. Thanks a lot Megan Mackie, I’ll be looking for more from you.

Saint Code is the fourth book of the Lucky Devil series by Megan Mackie. Even though it is the fourth book, it can be a stand alone book, but I bet you will want to read the rest of the series after this book. Megan gains my interest within the first couple of pages and I enjoy the ride to the last pages. This book is fast moving adventure through Data Bowl, a cybernetic city. Also while reading this book, I could not help but wonder if this is the way life will become eventually with everything happening in the cybernetic cities of the digital world. St. Augustina is once again one of the main characters who has taken yet another job from Orange Lady. Should everything be normal job like the others before? Just as the title suggests there will be a “lost” but what will be lost? Will St Augustina regret taking this job from Lady Orange?

When I first started this series I remember thinking that I wasn’t sure I was going to like it, it’s not my usual genre to read but I really liked the sound of the blurb so I thought I would give it a go and now here I am on book 4 and I have absolutely loved it! Ms Mackie has introduced me to a new genre that I am really enjoying. Her writing is so exciting to read and I love that her books are so unpredictable.
I’m not sure the characters are ones that I particularly connect with but the stories are so interesting to read about I am hooked from the very beginning. Saint Augustina was a great character to read about and I think there is a little more to her than there first seems. She may be a cyber spy but she had more of a human feel than other characters.
This was a richly detailed story that I highly recommend!

This is a book that can be read as a stand alone although it compliments the other books in the series. I enjoyed getting to know more about the Saints. We come across them in the other books in the series. They have always been sort of an enigma. Here we learn a bit but it’s not everything I thought it would be. I almost feel sorry for one of the Saints. They story is fast moving and interesting. Reading about this futuristic world and magic.

Saint Code: Lost is book 4 in the Lucky Devils series and can be read as a stand-alone! The 3 previous book in this series are just as good as this one and I would suggest reading those as well. This book had me turning page after page. It’s a little different than what I normally read but that makes it worth reading especially with how well it was written. St. Augustine is the main characters and she is unlike any other. She’s strong and definitely can hold her own in a fight. She made this book great and I liked seeing where her story was headed.

I give Saint Code: Lost: Book Four of the Lucky Devil Series by Megan Mackie, 5 stars.

St Augustina is a saint for hire — a modified cyber spy. She takes what missions she can get — she needs to eat too. So when an offer that pays out big but sounds too good to be true comes along, she takes it. But she learns it’s not a simple once and done. Plus she has a partner, someone she does not like. She is a warrior — she is made to fight. Working as a team and dealing with puzzles, not so much. But she has to. Things go deeper than she ever imagined. What is really going on? Can she figure all this out before it’s too late, or is everyone doomed?

This series is spectacular. The last couple books have veered off a bit, showing us more about secondary characters. St Augustina is someone I never knew I needed to know so much more about. Where the other books were more urban fantasy, this one has more of a cyber feel to it. But it has characters you remember from the previous books and ties in quite nicely to the series. It made me strongly think of the original Blade Runner, which is one of my absolute favorite movies. The story is so complex, there is so much going on which makes it even better. You learn so much about St Augustina, both her past and who she is today.

A wonderful story with endearing characters and an amazing story, I very highly recommend this book and series.

Saint Code: Lost by Megan Mackie is the fourth book in the Lucky Devil Series. This book can be read as a standalone although I would highly recommend you giving this whole series a try!
This series honestly just gets better. While the previous book wasn’t my absolute favourite this one, for me, is definitely on top form. The whole universe this author has created is so captivating. I always find it so easy to slip right back into the series. St Augustine was brilliant. I really felt like I connected with her from the moment I was introduced to her character. This story just enhances that whole connection.
For me this whole series has been completely unique and interesting. I love the combination of themes and how well it has been done. Each book is well paced, with a strong storyline that carries throughout. Megan Mackie is an author who has quickly become a must read for me. I would urge everyone to pick up her books.

The cybernetic revolution was inevitable. Nothing else changed.

For St. Augustina, a cyber-spy for hire by anyone with the credits to pay, her life has been a series of endless nights in the heart of the Data Bowl, the cybernetic city of corporate markets and sub markets. Why would one typical job from the mysterious Orange Lady be any different?

Because it was a trap.

From fighting Neo-ninjas to singing in a lounge act, the job turns out to be anything but typical. But as she comes closer and closer to her goals, the attacks become more and more personal and deadly, forcing her to ask the question: who is out to get her?

The Lucky Devil Series
Book 3
By Megan Mackie
☆☆☆☆☆

Margaret is a 60 year old homeless lady. One lucky night a handsome young man invites her to his home. She has no reason to live and figures she gone anyway. She has no fight left, and feels this guy is going to kill her. But don’t think she gives in easily, she fights him all the way. But you won’t find spoilers here. So read Margaret’s story, and see where she goes.

Megan Mackie is a new to me author. I love looking for new authors. She did not disappoint. I enjoyed reading her story, and loved her characters. Elias is not who I had expected. In fact her story really surprised me. Great story Margaret Mackie. Now I will head out to read the other books in this series.

Death and the Crone: Book Three of the Lucky Devil Series
by Megan Mackie was a good 4 star read. This book pulled me right in.

Margaret is a homeless woman in Chicago who meets Elias, a very good looking young man. He invites her to come home with him, of course Margaret had her suspicions, but she went.
She isn’t a happy woman and has her doubts about how her life will be.

The more time she spends with Elias she starts to see and feel things. His home is also very mysterious and magical.

Will Elias be able to help Margaret?

Overall I really enjoyed this read, there are twists and turns that add great elements to the story. The secondary characters were great. I really liked both Margaret and Elias. My emotions were all over the place with Margaret and her story. I suggest reading the series in order, however this can be read as a stand alone. I was pulled right in by Megan’s writing, I can’t wait to read more.

Ok, so I was hesitant to read this book because I wasn’t sure if it was satire or fan fiction or just a snub at the genre all together. I’m so glad I pushed my worry aside and cracked the binding.

The story line is one that we are familiar with but it has so many different angles that it is fresh and new (even though the characters are not).

I can’t go into much without giving away spoilers – I do want to say this though… It is listed as book 3 of a series and gives a vague reference to the series it is a part of. You know how there are those series or anthologies written by a bunch of different authors that have a slight common thread but don’t seem to really connect to the “theme”? This book is kind of like that. I really don’t think you have to read anything else in the series to have a firm grasp of the setting or plot points.

I say give it go; I don’t think you will be disappointed.

This is the third book in the Lucky Devil Series and i highly recommend reading the two previous books because some of the same characters carry over into this book and it just makes the reading experience better. This story was well written as all of her others are and it was refreshing to read something that was a little out of the norm for the books that are currently out. Margaret is our main character who is honestly just sick of life and believes that her life isn’t worth anything anymore. When a mysteriously handsome man picks her up on the street and takes her back to his luxurious apartment, Margaret has finally come to terms that this might be the end for her. But the stranger isn’t what he seems and he has a secret that will changer her life forever. We will just have to see if the change for the better or are things headed down an even more crazy path than before?
I cannot wait to read more by this author and i would recommend this book to a friend.

Death and the Crone is the third book in the Three of the Lucky Devil series by Megan Mackie. I would highly recommend reading the first two books in the series so you can meet some of the characters from the other two stories. I have to admit I did not know who Megan Mackie was before I was referred to her books, but now I love her writing. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a fresh author to start reading. This story is set in Chicago, which is where I grew up. It was fun looking at Chicago from a different point of view. Margaret is the main female character who is older and really has given up. She just does not see a positive end to her life. She has been asked by this stranger to come back to his apartment and that is where the story picks up. She learns that there is a silver lining in her cloud and not she needs to ride the wave. Will Margaret’s savior be all that he cracks up to be? Will Margaret feel like life is a journey she wants to continue?

I was intrigued by this book. I am so glad I decided to read it, I love that Margaret was an older character even if she was hard to like in the beginning because she was so grumpy, but life had not been good to her. This story had mystery a little bit of magic and I found it very well written. I was pulled into the story from the beginning and had a hard time putting it down. I found this story to be original and definitely worth reading. I recommend this book.

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

Death and the Crone (The Lucky Devil Series Book 3) by Megan Mackie was a hooking, unique, outstanding read, that had me flipping the pages late into the night. Why does work have to ruin good books?

Not my first read by this author or in this series, I was super excited to get my hands on it. I will say that this book isn’t actually book three of the Lucky Devil Series, it’s a story set in that world, with different MC’s and plot. So it can be read as a standalone, and as a side story to the main one. But I do suggest reading the other books, because they are, amazing.

This book was so fun, unique and just, wow. It took the over used concept of the 100 year old supernatural something or other, that falls in love with the 16 year old minor, and flips it on its head. This book was all about taking those over use tropes and clichés and destroying them, while making new ones. The plot itself is original, and grabs your attention right away. Like the other books, this book has that spark of adventure and danger, keeping you engaged. The detail was movie like, and helped round out the story and characters.

Overall this book is a super high recommendation from me. So please take my stamp of approval that, this book will hook you right from that opening scene, until the last pages of that wicket closing ending.

Happy Reading

She has outlived many of those she’s known and cannot wait for this hell to be over — she’s tired of her demons following her. When a beautiful young man takes her off the streets and offers for her to stay with him, she’s sure he’s taking her home to have his fun then kill her. But the promise of food and a warm place is just too tempting. And as time goes by, he doesn’t try anything but to make her comfortable and happy. Turns out this man is more than she ever imagined. Can she find a happiness that she lost a long, long time ago? If so, at what cost?

This series had me hooked from the beginning and this book is no different in that aspect. This book is considered a spin-off, we don’t see too much of most of the characters from the previous books, but the setting is the same. The main characters in this book though are just as interesting. This combination is not something I have read before. I read this genre quite frequently and I love that the author threw something different at me. The story itself is good too, Margaret struggles with the way she has been living vs what she has now. There is mystery in this man too — she knows there’s more to him and her curiosity gets the better of her. She takes us on the road of discovery with her. The story grabs you and pulls you in, not to mention some surprises along the way. This book can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend the whole series.

If you are a fan of urban fantasy and/or paranormal romance, this book is for you.

Death and the Crone (Lucky Devil Series Book 3)
Megan Mackie
4 stars

Death and the Crone is not the first book I’ve read in Megan Mackie’s Lucky Devil Series but if desired I believe this installment could be read on it’s own with little or no difficulty.
I most enjoyed Death and the Crone because of the break from a stereotypical storyline/main character. Instead of being young and easily desirable, Margaret is older with a much more colorful past. This book had me intrigued from
start to finish with a rocky road of action and adventure. While I did mention I believed this book could be read as a stand alone, I recommend reading the other books in the series before it as well for a bigger picture. I’ve truly learned to appreciate Megan Mackie’s style of writing and I’m looking forward to reading more.
