Completely "UNPUTDOWNABLE!" Just like the first three!,

This review is from: Bewitched & Betrayed (Mass Market Paperback)
Okay, you've read my reviews before. I usually give a brief detail of what happens in the book, then my thoughts on it. This review is going to be all over the place, LOL! Fair warning.**Spoiler Alert!** If you plan on reading the novel and don't want to know what happens, do not read past this point! Lisa Shearin has done it again!!! This is only the fourth book she has published, and already, with her style, she resembles a veteran; an author who's been around for years! She's that good! Raine's back, with our entire favourite cast of characters. The spectres are running rampid all over Mid, including Sarad Nukpana. Raine is now after them, to put them back where they belong. The opening line is, and I quote: "I was being chased by a pissed-off guy with a knife. A really big knife." My first thought: And we're off!!! Then, not halfway down the page, I cracked up when I read: "And believe me, I got to see enough manhoods and fleeing pasty white posteriors to last me a lifetime." When a shriveled up body is dumped at her feet by none other than Sarad Nukpana, she's warned that the whole situation is about to get worse. Sarad is going to "eat" as much power as he can, and will eventually find a way to control her and the Saghred (stone). And he's going to go after everyone she cares about and everyone she loves before he gets to her. Raine will stop at nothing to find him. We see another side of Mychael; now we learn where he came from before he became Paladin. Their umi'atsu bond grows stronger, and both finally admit to being in love with each other. Talon gets himself into even more trouble - on a couple of separate occasions. Piaras keeps himself out of most of it, until he goes after Talon. And when Tam learns of where his son has gone, he takes off before anyone can stop him. But of course, Tam is captured by Sarad, and Raine has to make the hardest decision she's made so far. The whole scenario gets more and more complicated as the book moves along, and the deeper Raine gets, the more you're rooting for the home team. A war is averted, for the most part, although the threat is still there. A duke is thought dead, but isn't. Imala Kalis, head of Goblin Intelligence (with the cute dimples), needs Tam's help. Imala has a secret of her own as well. And if I keep going, you'll end up getting more of the story than I intend to give you. This book has great characters that you love to love and hate with a passion. This book is non-stop intrigue and action, from beginning to end. Figths (magical and non), arguments, truths and lies, conniving deceptions and set-ups, power-hungry elves, mages and goblins, and love-making that was 3 books in the making. This book, this series, is one of the top fantasy series I recommend to anyone who asks me. Why? Because it deserves the recognition. Run, don't walk, and get your copy today! What are you waiting for?

This review is from: Bewitched & Betrayed (Mass Market Paperback)
Raine has met up with an old friend again Mr. Sarad Nukpana who is taking souls from residents of Isle of Mid. Mychael and Raine need to stop him before he can make his body whole again.Mychael and Raine do get closer in this novel and Raine must make a hard decision regarding Tam. Talon tries to be a hero and gets himself in trouble. Piara's can't let his friend go alone so he follows Talon which results in Raine following as well. Like she needs anymore problems. Bewitched & Betrayed is my favourite novel in the series. It was constantly keeping me on the edge of my seat. Lisa is the master of keeping her books paced with the amount of action she puts in them as well as the humour she uses with her characters. For more reviews please visit [...]

This review is from: Bewitched & Betrayed (Mass Market Paperback)
Alright I admit it I was prepared to wade through this series, not ready to take the word of a friend that it was thoroughly and utterly hilarious. She was right, I loved the off the cuff comments, such as: "he gave me a look, you know the one". The story was pure fiction, but then you are prepared for that, and lets face it buying a book about Elves you expect it to be. But the sense of humor behind the character of Raine makes the whole thing come together. I have gotten several of my friends hooked on the series now as well. Cannot wait for the next one to come out.
