This is the beginning of a series, and it definitely sets it up for much more magic and mayhem to come. Ezri is a strong female protagonist while still being reliably human in her limits. There are so many moments I couldn’t help but sympathize with her and her struggles with both her family and work. If you’re looking for a paranormal detective story that kicks butt this is definitely my first pick for you. It will leave you on the edge of your seat and craving more. I will have to be getting my hands on book two to see where we will go now.

I didn’t know what to expect when first opening “Springs Calling” by Sarah Biglow. I have to say Sarah did not disappoint. Springs Calling is an urban crime fantasy with tons of twists and turns that keep you on edge. After losing her mother to a murder that everyone pretended did not happen, Ezri Trenton vowed to solve the murder herself. Now as a Boston rookie detective she is finally has the resources to do it. Solving her mothers murder is not easy especially when Sarah is hiding that she is a Witch and if she doesn’t already have enough on her plate, she is trying to solve a string of murder which seem to be related to a prophecy that just so happens to declare Ezri as the Savior. Ezri has amazing character development and must learn how to trust others. After a bit of a slow start, I couldn’t put this book down and have already started the next one View all my reviews

After reading the synopsis I was really looking forward to reading this book. I am not sure if I hyped it up so much that I let myself down but I found the book to be a bit blasé. The details were not impressively laid out and the storyline didn’t draw me into the story. That said the characters were good but needed fleshed out and some of the background information seems to make little connection with the story. Ezri could be a lot more than she is and I have hopes that the second book will have all those amazing, unique details that bring a story to life. I can see how this could be a really magical, suspenseful and captivating series. I truly hope book two will bring this interesting story to life.

Spring’s Calling is one of the absolute BEST books I have read in the last couple years!! It is the perfect blend of relatable characters, action, & mystery! You can’t help wanting to be friends with the sassy female lead and root for her!! Not only is the story absolutely awesome, but the character development is a work of art. It is wonderfully written as well! I cannot recommend this book enough! Seriously, I have already ordered the next three!!

From the beginning to the end of this book, they have gone through many obstacles. Ezri has past issues she has to deal with while trying to solve the crime and save the world.

Ezri grows up knowing that she has a prophecy to fulfill. When her mother is murdered tragically, and everyone seems to be fine with sweeping it under the rug, she vows to find her mother’s killer. Once she becomes a detective, she sets out to find out more about her mom’s death. However, murders around the Vernal Equinox begin happening around the city and she has to solve them first. Can she solve the murders before she has to fulfill the prophecy? Or are they part of it? Will she be able to find her mother’s murderer?
This is my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed it! The story flowed smoothly with the backstory interspersed at the right moments in the book. Ezri is a very angry, hurt person that has to move past her feelings of self-imposed isolation and allow others to help her fulfill her destiny. Past friends and family that she cut off come to her aid and show her grace in their assistance. I feel like the author did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life in my mind. I enjoyed the way they interacted and related to each other.
This book was a good, clean language, detective-fantasy book!

This was my first book from this author and it won’t be my last. It started out kind of slow but picked up and was action packed. I am excited to read the rest of this series and more Kayla. She was my favorite character. I hope we find out more about her past. Time to start the second book!

This book has an intriguing take on magic and loved the interwoven crime aspect. Ezri is a strong female lead and very easy to connect with. The book builds slowly towards the climax but then quickly races to the finish. This is the first book in the series and has set the pace for the rest of the books. There is a little teaser of things to come which I am very keen to check out.

While I am a huge fantasy lover I haven’t read very many urban fantasies before but this one is just simply amazing! This book combined all of my favorite things including crime, drama, magic, and more. The character development was simply amazing, the plot was so perfect that I was on the edge of my seat most the book. Ezri is a strong cop with the Boston police department and I loved following her magical journey through this story and I personally can’t wait to see what our author gives us next.

Spring’s Calling: (A Witch Detective Urban Fantasy Novel) (Seasons of Magic #1) by Sarah Biglow
This isn’t the first book by the author that I’ve read. Biglow has a unique way of bringing her characters to life. Ezri’s story had me captivated from the beginning.
Ezri is the last Harrow daughter alive. She is told of the prophecy that involves her. Now the time has come and she’s not exactly ready to do it on her own. The quote I chose for Ezri is: “Damn right I am. And they need to know that the only way to stop me is to actually kill me, and if Taggart is their best guy, then they’re seriously going to need to up their game. Now, let’s see about getting you back to normal.”

This is a new author for me but I love the genre so decided to give it a go. The beginning built a little slow for me but as I kept at it to see what came next the author delivered flawlessly. It is a slow build but understandable in order to fully understand the character and her abilities.
Ezri, a rookie detective, read undercover witch is pulled in on a case where she can smell that magic has been used in the crime. Could this be the beginning of the prophecy that has plagued her since birth? With the vernal equinox in the very near future, Ezri along with her partner Jacquie must work to solve the murders while Ezri keeps her magical abilities hidden from even her partner. Yet as the bodies pile up, it seems Ezri must turn to those friends and fellow witches that she abandoned decades ago after the death of her mother. Can Ezri tie up these murders with a nice little bow before she must face her own destiny in helping good overcome evil? Can she maintain the balance between her destiny and the life she chose or will she need to sacrifice one to complete the other?
This is definitely an interesting read with a new take on witches, magical abilities, and the fight in good vs. evil. Though a slow build if you can stick through it then it is quite an enjoyable read. I definitely plan to read the series so I can see what else happens for Ezri and the characters in this book.

Ezri Trenton is a young woman, she is a Detective with the local law enforcement, but she is also a witch, but she has to keep these two sides of herself separate, no matter how much she wishes it could be different, however, she hasn’t had the easiest start to life, when she walked into her house, saw her murdered mother on the floor in front of her and at the time it was just too much for her to bear, now she uses it to fuel her career. Meanwhile, in the background there are the undercurrents of another facet to her magical life, this is the fact that she is destined to take part in a prophecy on the Vernal Equinox, but the when are where are vague and so she just has to build herself up so that she can be ready when the time comes.
Fast forward to today and she has just been assigned a new partner, a mundane, or person without magic and they pretty much immediately get a call out to a homicide, however, this isn’t any homicide, it reeks of magic and dark magic at that, but she has to keep the information to herself because of the secrecy surrounding her life at all times. As the investigation intensifies and more victims are found, Ezri knows that mundane police work isn’t going to cut it and is finding it more and more difficult not to use her magical skills in front of her partner, or how to explain when she has to and appears just to zone out from time to time.
While all of this is going on, the past comes calling as Ezri tries to solver her mothers murder while working though the evidence which is pointing the finger to the darkest of dark magic, she is also quickly coming to terms with the fact that it is this Equinox which the prophecy was talking about and she only has a few days to stop it. Will Ezri be able to solve both cases in time, or will time run out before she has the chance? This is a fast paced and addictive urban fantasy chock full of spells, action and adventure as Ezri races against time while dealing with past and present in one big jumble of emotions, revelations and magic.

When I sat down to read this book, I couldn’t stop. I read the entire thing in 2 hours, completely captivated by Ezri’s story. Her suffocating grief, even as she was a true warrior focused on justice, was heartbreaking. Watching the pieces come together in the mix between remembering the past, learning more about the truth of the past and knowing what the future needed to bring was almost cinematic in its execution. The relationships shown were so genuine and truly made me want to know her. This book truly was a beautiful story that kept me completely engrossed from start to finish and I can’t wait to see what comes next for Ezri and the people around her.

I really liked this book a lot! It gave me some “Charmed” vibes with a cop with supernatural powers due to her being a witch and the Savior that will be faced with an upcoming event in which she has to save the world. I liked the characters and was quickly invested in their journeys. I really enjoyed the main character Ezri’s backstory and thought that this was a unique take on a character that is a witch since there was no silly family or familiar causing drama or interference. I would have given this 5 stars, but I thought the ending was rushed and a few of the explanations didn’t seem to fit, which made me sad since I absolutely loved the first 90% of the book. Looking forward to future books in this series, however!

Spring’s Shower is the first in the Seasons of Magic series from the highly entertaining C.A. King. It is the story of a bet made between Eros and four other gods; Mother Nature, Neptune, the Grim Reaper, and Santa Claus. The gods believe that Eros has the easiest job of all of them and Eros challenges them to do just that. Each god much make a true love match to win the bet. First up is Mother Nature, who goes by Greta for this story. She travels to a small town and finds a gardener named Spring, who is as in need of love as her plants are in need of water. Greta thinks she’s found Spring’s perfect match in a stranded celebrity but it soon becomes clear that nothing is simple in love and war.
This book was so light-hearted and wonderful. If you’re looking for a palate cleanser after a dark romance or just need something that will give you warm and fuzzy feelings, this book is perfect for you! It is well-paced and the detail is splendid. The unique personalities of the gods and the mortals come alive with King’s word choice. Although there is no spice in this book it is one I challenge you to not smile throughout. I look forward to reading the next book that features Neptune in the summertime!
This story and start to a new series was amazing from start to finish. I could not get enough! I loved the main character Ezri . She was inspirational in her own way, and tough as nails. With her own version of feistiness. She had and has a lot going on yet, stayed true to all she believed in!
Story was very engaging. It was very easy to lose track of time while reading. I loved the paranormal version, also loved Ezri being a detective and a witch. I enjoyed reading to find out how she came to be, and the stuff that happened to her that she wanted to get justice for. It was great character development through out the entire reading. Leading up to the ending I was on the edge of my sea wanting more! The author wrote a great story and certainly knew how to keep the reader interested! Loved it truly!
Wonderful book and for sure a must read author. I can not wait to read the next installment in the series. I highly recommend this must read book. Defiantly not a book or a book of characters to miss out on!

When a series of brutal murders lands in her lap, newly-minted Detective Ezri Trenton sets out to prove to herself and her mundane partner she can handle the investigation. The deeper she digs; the more evidence mounts that dark magic is behind the killings. Ezri knows traditional police work won’t be enough to stop the spree, but she can’t risk revealing the magical world. As the clock ticks ever closer to the Vernal Equinox and the prophecy that’s plagued her since childhood, Ezri must greet her destiny head on. Will she solve the murders and uncover the truth about her mother’s death, or will she lose the life she’s built for herself in the process?

So, I have read the super “popular” vampire series, but haven’t really given more thought to the genre. I loved the cover of this book (which is how I pick all books, no synopsis reading here) and wanted to expand into something other than my usual genre. I was NOT disappointed at all. I enjoyed the interactions between Edith and Darren and I appreciated that this was a story led by actual storytelling and not sex. I found the premise to be one with great promise, I loved that it flowed and was a quick easy read. I would have liked the characters to have a little more depth and backstoroy, but am hopeful it will be in the next book. Overall I felt the authors did a great job, and can I just say this book had some of the best editing I have ever seen! If you enjoy vampires, minimal violence, and more substance than sex this will be a book you will absolutely enjoy!

I give Hunted by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk, 4 stars.
I really enjoy how the authors put their own spin on this vampire romance. Introducing the role playing game to me was ingenious. It made for an interesting and new base of a story. But this is not all this book has to offer. The characters in the story are what really makes this book so good. It’s not only the main characters, either. There are so many secondary characters that were quite interesting as well. I hope to see more of them in books to come too. But let us not forget Edith and Darren. They both have their own issues and misconceptions they have to try to overcome. The struggle and how they deal with them really make this book shine.
If you are a fan on interesting vampire romance, this book is for you.

I really enjoyed this book. I found the story interesting and fun. The best part of the story was watching the love between Edith and Darren. They are two vastly different individuals that were on two divergent paths. It was a joy watching them find and discover each other and their love. The story itself had a lot of twists and turns which made for a very interesting read. I look forward to reading the next installment in this adventure by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk.

Hunted by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is the first book in the Hunted series and was an incredible read! I was drawn in from the first chapter and had trouble putting this book down. This isn’t your typical vampire book, and I really enjoyed reading some of the quirks of vampire abilities I’ve never read in a book before. This book was jam packed with action, suspense, and a little bit of romance, enough to make this book feel like a very quick read. All of the characters were very enjoyable to read, especially Darren and his character development throughout the story. This was a great read and I can’t wait to read the next installment of the series!

I really enjoyed this story. It is a vampire romance which I always enjoy. The book drags you in and grips you from the beginning. The author’s does a great job writing the characters so you can’t help but feel the emotion they are going through.
Edith is a vampire. After her fiance dies in the war she is turned into a vampire and for 100 years she has lived with her “daughters” Hope and Angel.
Every year they hold a convention. Its seen as a role play weekend where people can see what the life of a vampire is like and if they want to they can also be turned.
However this time is different. Two of the people on the weekend are Hunters.
Darren and his younger brother Dan are trained as Hunters and its their job to rid the earth of vampires. When Dan goes missing Darren follows him and finds him at Edith’s weekend convention.
Things aren’t what they seem though and Darren and Edith need to work together to figure things out. The closer they work, the closer they become. Can a relationship between them ever work? Can Darren forget being a hunter to save Edith and her family? And what or who is working against them.

Biglow and Zenk know what they are doing. Hunted was a fantastic read! It’s like True Blood meets our crazy world. Vamps and Humans.
Edith has been a vampire since the 1900’s. She has only ever sired two Humans and her sire wants to make more. She meets two boys with the last name of her lover. The quote I chose for Edith is: “Humans and vampires both have their meals in the dining room off to the left.”
Darren is a Hunter and wants to keep his brother safe. When his younger brother wants to go to a Convention he follows. What he doesn’t know is his brother has just signed up to play a vampire. The quote I chose for Darren is: “Sorry about that back there. Don’t mind us. We’re brothers . It’s like my solemn duty to rough him up from time to time. Or, in this case, follow him to some crazy LARP weekend.”
This is a tale of vampires and vampire hunters, two sets of people leading very different lives and each others lifelong enemies, but that is just most of the clans, however, the Heartsong Clan wants to change this perspective from one of violence to one of peace and coexistence, that is why they hold “Human vs Vampire” LARP reenactments so that humans can learn a bit about Vampire culture and then maybe chose to become one of them and this weekend is another of these events where humans and vampires mix together for a few days.
This book starts with Edith on her wedding day as she prepares to end her life, she has lost her love and sees nothing else to live for, she just wants to be with him, she is walking into the river with the stones in her pockets until someone calls to her from the bank, this person is Mr Heartsong, a vampire she knows from the VHA (Vampire Human Alliance) and he is trying to glamour her to convince her that Daniel would want her to continue to live and to be happy and also stop her from joining Daniel in death.
100 years to the day she turned, Edith is leading the LARP event with Hope and Angel her two daughters, they are just like any other family, apart from they are vampires and older than they look, as they man the booth where people sign up for the event, a young man, Caden comes to sit and chat with Parker, another vampire and the girls and it turns out he is there to help with the recruitment drive, Edith is initially reluctant to trust the young man, but decides to give him the benefit of the doubt when the girls say that they trust him with their lives, as does Parker. As the day goes on and more people sign up, they have their first “vampire” added to the list, Dan, he is friends with the girls and Caden and it seems that he wants to learn more about the vampire way of life.
Next we meet Darren who is Dan’s brother and only wants to chaperone him to the nerdy convention that his brother is interested in attending, but he feels uncomfortable as soon as he enters the building where he can’t tell the humans and the vampires apart and as a hunter, it is something that he hates. He realises that he has lost Dan in the crowds, but remembers that he spoke about going to meet some friends while there, but getting there that late in the day, Darren is a little worried about him and starts to stress out when he can no longer see him because of their history. Darren has intel that the Heartsong Clan are recruiting at the event and he prays that that isn’t why Dan is here, however, if he is, then it will be a great way to get some inside intel on the Clan while meeting his brothers friends.
This is where Edith and Darren come face to face and meet for the first time and although the insistent banging on her office door is giving her a migraine, she remains polite and as she opens the door, another wave of memories hit her. It is then that he asks to join in the LARP and reluctantly, Edith agrees and gives him a tour of where he will be staying for the weekend, as they do this, Edith explains the rules of the weekend and the game play, as well as what will happen and when. When they see a group with Dan in, Darren takes him to one side and they have an argument about why Dan is there and why he left Darren in the convention and neither of them is happy with the situation, but they both go to the dining room when the bell is sounded for the meal. It is later that night when Darren decides to go and check that Dan is alright that all hell breaks loose as the weekend takes a turn for the worse and this leads to Darrens worst fears, that Dan is in danger and he is realising that Edith is not like any other vampire he has ever met.
Will Dan and Darren be able to escape the convention, or will the vampires show their true natures? Will Edith be able to come to terms with the memories which are flooding back and be honest with herself and Darren and will he be able to be honest with her as they grow closer? The only way to find out is to read along and discover their revelations at the same time they do.
Hunted by Sarah Biglow and Molly Zenk is a collaboration between two fantastic authors which has resulted in a great fantasy story that will really grab your attention. I loved the combination of fantasy and geek with the LARP storyline, it isn’t something I recall seeing before but I definitely enjoyed the way they were brought together in this book. The characters were strong and really connected well. Their worlds were completely adverse to one another and yet the way they tried to make something work was great to see. I have read both of these authors previously and I loved the fact that they have combined their talents to produce this gem. This is a thoroughly enjoyable book and I hope to see more of them together in the future.

I loved reading this story!! I was pulled in from the start and had a hard time putting it down. I found this book to be original, gripping, and has great characters. There is suspense and twists and turns. Both Edith and Darren learn some new things that were unexpected. Will they find Dan? Where will their search lead them? To find out these things and more, this is a must read. I am so glad I decided to dive into this book and I can’t wait to read the next one. I highly recommend this book.

Having read previous books from these two authors I thought I had already found my favourite read, until this one! This was a brilliant paranormal fantasy read that I couldn’t put down! I was drawn into this world from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down until the end! This is a fast-paced, action-packed read with action, adventure, mystery & suspense. It has characters that you thoroughly enjoy following their story, and watching them grow throughout. This storyline that these authors have created is captivating and addictive and I can’t wait to read more! I highly recommend this read and these two author’s work!

Hunted by Sarah Biglow & Molly Zenk is a paranormal vampire story but not the normal trope. This duo gives us something that is unique and original, exciting and with a fresh twist on the fang gang genre. It is fast paced but as I have come to expect from Sarah and Molly there is definitely nothing lacking in the story. The tale is well plotted and the characters are endearing. There is an air of tension, mystery and thrills as your mind bends to the fantasy world that Sarah and Molly have designed. I certainly can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
