Allie Beckstrom is a working Hound, someone who can scent
magic, in a world where the price of using magic is paid
for with pain. She is being forced to except things she
has turned her back on most of her life in order to keep
her alive and her friends safe. Her relationship with
Zayvion Jones is blooming, and the Authority wants to test
her to see if she may retain her magic as well as her
memories of everything involving the Authority. After all
that finding whoever or whatever is using forbidden blood
magic, as well as a form of portable magic that only few
know exists, should be a snap. Now, if only her dead
father's unwanted presence would just leave her alone, she
may just survive to see a second date with Zayvion. MAGIC
IN THE SHADOWS is the third installment of the Allie
Beckstrom series.
This is a wonderful read full of different types of magic,
fascinating characters, an intriguing plot and politics
that does everything possible to interfere with Allie's
life. Devon Monk is an excellent storyteller; she manages
to write a vivid and captivating story for her fans and
newcomers alike. Anyone familiar with this series will be
treated to a new adventure, while new fans can read without
felling lost. MAGIC IN THE SHADOWS is full of fascinating
characters, mysterious and power hungry villains, and
twists that keep everyone guessing until the very end.
I loved seeing a main character with obstacles that she has
to deal with and overcome every day, complex relationships
that most people can relate to, and a life that is full of
surprises. I was refreshing to see a strong female
character who didn't rely on magic or physical superiority
to make her that way. This book will keep everyone turning
the pages to see what happens next and salivating for
more. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the Allie
Beckstrom series.
Allison Beckstrom's magic has taken its toll on her,
physically marking her and erasing her memories-including
those of the man she supposedly loves. But lost memories
aren't the only things preying on Allie's thoughts.
Her late father, the prominent businessman-and
sorcerer-Daniel Beckstrom, has somehow channeled himself
into her very mind. With the help of The Authority, a secret
organization of magic users, she hopes to gain better
control over her own abilities-and find a way to deal with
her father...
