Magic-Scars (The Crown of Stones, #2)Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When reading a book that is entirely based in another world, when an author has created races of people, magic and non-magic, I am usually bitterly disappointed when those stories come to an end. CL Schneider not only created a detailed world for her characters, she continued their stories and moved the plot along, intricately connecting pieces along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed Ian Troy’s second installment as he battles himself internally and seeks absolution and answers along the way.

Magic-Price (The Crown of Stones, #1)Magic-Price by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Crown of Stones Book 1, Magic Price was an intriguing read and great start to a solid Fantasy series. The prologue immediately draws the reader into a time of war and passion, transitioning to a time a decade later with a magic-repressed self-exiled protagonist. The story moves along quickly, interweaving different races with histories ripe with drama, kidnapping of royalty and slaughtering both of the magical and physical variety. Very interesting and fun to read!

Magic-Borne (The Crown of Stones, #3)Magic-Borne by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This third and final installment in the Crown of Stones series was a heavy ending to the trilogy, taking the reader on a bit of a roller coaster ride jumping from time travel to drug/magic induced hallucinations. Ian Troy feels the weight of his race and others on his shoulders and has to find a way to save them all. The story is long, but worth the read! Be sure you’ve read the first two books prior to jumping into this one!

Return to Hoodoo (Boudin, Bourbon, and Barbecue, Book 1) by Reggi Dupree – Review by Sharon Funkhouser

Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women's Fiction Novel (Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo Book 1)Return to Hoodoo: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel by Reggi Dupree
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reggi Dupree paints a colorful paranormal world in the town of Hoodoo, Texas ripe with witches, vampires, ghosts and more. I love picking up the start to a series and looking forward to continuing the story; my only disappointment throughout the book was that I didn’t realize there was a prequel that was seemingly referred to a number of times. Not the end of the world (though, that may come later in the Hoodoo books!), and the witty banter woven in throughout with Gwen and her closest friends was entertaining and engaging. With a number of surprises within the book, I found myself eagerly turning the pages to find out whodunnit and what happened next. A fun read, for sure!
