“Here.” I set the container of bath beads down beside Zav’s foot. “Throw some of those down when you get a chance.”I backed away slowly, not wanting the dark elves to notice. “And try to keep them distracted. Keep saying arrogant things.” Zav looked over his shoulder, pinning me with his glare. “I do not take orders from law-breaking mongrels who do not acknowledge the supremacy of dragons.” “Yeah, say stuff like that.” I gave him a sarcastic thumbs-up. “You’re a natural.” This book was a lot o
Sinister Magic was interesting. I love how the novel is straight-forward. It didn't waste any time in creating predictable suspense.
3.5Magic? Dragons? A bad ass, weapons toting, sarcastic, confident and competent adult female lead? Yes. Sign me up. I'm really enjoying the start to this new series, and can't wait to see where the story goes!My only issue is that everyone really seems to treat the h like crap (if they aren't trying to murder her on the spot) or that she is annoying them in some way. Boo, give Val some love for being a BA Hoss! Oh and I'm feeling the dry humor and possible romance that was hinted at between
I like Lindsay Buroker and enjoy her books, but they're outside my usual genre—i.e. while they often contain romances, those romances aren't ever truly central. Even her sci-fi romance books (written under a penname) are a blend with the sci-fi as emphasis. So I have to be in the right mood for whatever aspect is primary for me to enjoy her books.Fortunately, when I'm in the right mood, they almost always hit home. Which is the case with this series. It's Urban Fantasy (which I happen to be in t...
2.5/5Readable but predictable and formulaic. It had great moments and it doesn't treat itself too seriously. I mean, the story's protagonist sleeps and fights with a sword named Chopper and a gun called Fezzik. She's six feet tall and can bench press more than her body weight. Accompanied by magical "tiger" with whom she has nice banter, she kills magical creatures that pose threat to people.All told, it has good moments but it feels too corny to be enjoyable (again, a subjective opinion - if yo...
Great new series by Lindsay Buroker! Already grab a copy of second book and can't wait for its release.
Audiobooks 1-5 now available for free on the author’s YouTube channel along with her other series. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mp6bOxV...Excellent start to a series, though it seems that the prequel novella is essential to the story, so I’d not skip out on that one. Great supporting cast so far, and if that arrogant dragon doesn’t fall embarrassingly hard I will be VERY disappointed.
Won this on a Goodread's giveaway, so thought I had better get it read. Found the audio version for $.99, so listened to it in a day. The story is fast paced and easy to keep track of everything going on, unlike some of the epic's I've been reading lately, so is a nice change to relax my mind a bit. Val is a half-elf assassin working for the government to kill magical beings that have murdered humans. She's 40, battling stress, asthma, is tough as nails, and full of snark. Val puts me to mind of...
4.5 Stars ⭐️ Buddy Read With My MacHalo Lovelies!This book was so much fun and I loved the characters. Well, most of them!Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
3.7 starsWhy, oh why does one of my most favorite authors jump on the YA 1st person narration bandwagon? It’s so sad, I could cry. Half-elf Val is a government contracted assassin fighting magical criminals. When she crosses paths with a dragon on one of her missions, she earns his scorn by killing the magical creature he intended to bring to (dragon) court.Meanwhile her commanding officer was magical poisoned and is dying. Val goes on a quest to find an antidote. This story has the main ingredi...
3.5 stars This was entertaining and a good set up/first book for a new series. The last series by this author I really clicked with was her Emperor's Edge series which I got the first book back in the heady days when getting free ebooks was a new and awesome thing. I loved that series, especially its brand of humor, the world-building and the different personalities.I have tried other series by the authors but none worked for me. I like this one, it is set in modern day earth that just happens t...
Well that was disappointing and mildly annoying. Ok, more than mildly. I almost dnfed it multiple times and ended up lightly skimming the last half of the book. I don’t feel that I missed much by doing that either. The author chose to elaborate on odd, unnecessary details, but not give enough information about other, more interesting things. It was weirdly unbalanced. The whole book just felt kind of wonky to me. The main character was painful to read about. Typical UF female heroine. Overdone,
If I had to use one word to describe this book it would be: Boring . Don't get me wrong, it certainly had its moments, but overall Sinister Magic came off as formulaic, predictable, and terribly repetitive. The characters were not very compelling and the plot was really average.
MacHalo Buddy Read FINALLY got to sink my teeth into something good! I really love what Buroker has done with this urban fantasy. The magic was all in the characters and dialogue. I'm all in for book 2 buddy read!
Mon avis en français My English reviewI bought the novel when I saw it for 0.99 and as it is an urban fantasy, I couldn’t resist. I was also curious to discover this author I didn’t know yet. I must say I was pleasantly surprised.Val is an assassin for the government, but not just any assassin, because she kills magical creatures who have perpetrated horrible crimes. But now her latest case is going to turn her whole life upside down! Indeed, while she is hunting a wyvern, she finds herself in
