Magickal beings abound in this spectacular anthology
featuring six very talented authors!
P.J. Bishop kicks off this anthology with "Magick Justice".
Miko Jones is a reporter determined to keep the serial
murders in the news, while Hadrian Hawken is on his own
quest. P.J. Bishop does a marvelous job at crafting twists
and turns to keep the reader intrigued. Miko and Hadrian are
likable characters and the last lines of this novella gave
me quite the chuckle.
"Spirits Rising" by Evelyn Vaughn features a ghost, a
mansion, and a tale of love and deceit. Evelyn Vaughn
creates an eerie ambiance that permeates the entire story
and Manon Boulanger is the perfect wickedly evil villain!
The story seamlessly flashes back and forth between past and
present, as we relive the past events of Galveston's unnamed
hurricane. Evelyn Vaughn is an author I always enjoy
reading, and this novella was no exception. She even made me
enjoy scenes with a hurricane in them!
In Karen Fox's "Blood Rising", Hayley Donahue is determined
to find the vampire who killed her sister. But is she ready
to accept the help of Rurik Anatoli? Karen Fox tackles the
vampire mythology and puts her own spin to it. I like how
she builds the world in "Blood Rising" and hope to see more
stories in this vein.
Laura Hayden's "A Shift in Magick" features a private
investigator with the ability to shape shift into other
humans. What happens when Jonathan Craft takes on a
seemingly easy case to help a woman gain her inheritance?
Laura Hayden's story is a breath of fresh air in the
paranormal genre. Paranormal private investigators are
always a favorite read of mine but Laura Hayden puts a new
twist to shape shifting in "A Shift in Magick". To say more
would reveal spoilers but the twists that occur from the
shape shifting are quite clever.
In "Destiny Rising" by Jodi Anderson, Celeste Soraya has one
last chance to bring her lover, Erik, back from the dead.
Unfortunately, she also has to face the evil wizard from
their past too. "Destiny Rising" starts off with one of the
catchiest lines ever! Jodi Anderson crafts a beautiful
romance between Celeste and Erik.
MAGICK RISING concludes with Parker Blue's "Wolf Rising".
Beth Aldiss is Duncan Gray's last hope for a cure for his
lycanthropy...but will the cure challenge everything he
believes in? This was my first time reading anything by
Parker Blue but it definitely won't be the last! Both Beth
and Duncan are living with diseases but each approaches life
very differently. Beth's upbeat nature in the face of the
progression of her disease is beautiful to behold and I
couldn't help cheering her on, hoping against hope that
Parker Blue could find a happily ever after. What a great
finale for MAGICK RISING!
Every sort of magick collides in these six paranormal tales of magick and romance . . .
