Beka Yancy is a powerful, inexperienced witch trying to
keep
up with her duties as a Baba Yaga. When the Selkies and
Mer
folk are driven from their homes by a mysterious toxin
Beka's abilities will be put to the test. To help with her
investigation, Beka buys her way onto the boat of former
U.S. Marine, Marcus Dermott, and even with a less than
desirable attitude, Beka finds herself attracted to the
hardened soldier. But a Selkie prince also has his eye on
Beka, and only when she truly trusts her powers will Beka
be
able to save the underwater peoples and chose her true
love.
WICKEDLY WONDERFUL is the second book in Deborah Blake's
Baba Yaga series, and readers won't be
disappointed. The
plot is fast-paced and addicting and readers won't be able
to stop turning pages. Beka is likable from page one, and
her insecurities and commitment to her duties gives her
character depth and personality. Marcus, though only
human,
is the perfect match for Beka. His stubbornness and good
intentions will win readers' hearts. The love triangle
between Beka, Marcus, and Kesh is filled with tension and
will have readers wondering whom Beka will choose.
Blake does a great job moving the dialogue along and
keeping
it witty. Baba Yaga is once again upgraded for the
current
times, but is still the powerful witch from legend.
Wickedly Dangerous will get readers' attention, and
WICKEDLY
WONDERFUL will reel readers in and keep them reading and
wanting more Baba Yaga stories.
Known as the wicked witch of Russian fairy tales, Baba
Yaga
is not one woman, but rather a title carried by a chosen
few. They keep the balance of nature and guard the borders
of our world, but don’t make the mistake of crossing one
of
them.
Though she looks like a typical California surfer girl,
Beka
Yancy is in fact a powerful yet inexperienced witch who’s
struggling with her duties as a Baba Yaga. Luckily she has
her faithful dragon-turned-dog for moral support,
especially
when faced with her biggest job yet.
A mysterious toxin is driving the Selkie and Mer from
their
homes deep in the trenches of Monterey Bay. To
investigate,
Beka buys her way onto the boat of Marcus Dermott, a
battle-scarred former U.S. Marine, and his ailing
fisherman
father.
While diving for clues, Beka drives Marcus crazy with her
flaky New Age ideas and dazzling blue eyes. She thinks
he’s
rigid and cranky (and way too attractive). Meanwhile, a
charming Selkie prince has plans that include Beka. Only
by
trusting her powers can Beka save the underwater races,
pick
the right man, and choose the path she’ll follow for the
rest of her life.
