Une nouvelle sympa et j'ai beaucoup aimé le concept d'urban fantasy avec des pirates ...
Mais j'ai été hyper frustrée ><
Oui je savais que c'était une nouvelle mais si la romance a une fin, l'intrigue non et c'est très frustrant ! Pour moi c'est plus un prologue qu'une nouvelle et ça m'a un peu gâché la lecture ...
J'aurais préféré un livre entier !

Bref, une introduction pour une série qui semble avoir beaucoup de potentiel !

A nice short story and I really liked the concept of urban fantasy with pirates...
But I was very frustrated ><
Yes I knew it was a short-story but if the romance has an end, the plot does not and it's very frustrating ! For me it's more a prologue than a short story and it spoiled the reading for me a bit...
I would have preferred an entire book !

In short, an introduction for a series that seems to have a lot of potential !

Actions have consequences. Colton Hayes spent his mortal life plundering royal ships with his pirate crew until he and his crew steal an object that curses them with immortality. Sure it gives you time to build a fortune and learn new and wonderful things but what is life without love? When psychic Skye Olson becomes a bone of contention between Colton (he wants her as a woman) and the captain (he wants her property) maybe she will end up being their redemption. A sweet fun escape that will leave you longing for the high seas.
I received a copy of this book and chose to review it

I gave it 3.5 stars

MAGNOLIA MYSTIC was short and sweet and that is how my review will be.

Colton and Skye are a cute couple. Their attraction was strong and their romance was sweet. There were so many different things happening in MAGNOLIA MYSTIC that the romance felt rushed and lacked some development. It still felt like the main point of the book, but I think some things in MAGNOLIA MYSTIC could have been saved for the next book so that the romance could have had a little more to it.

I enjoyed meeting the pirates. I feel like their story will be exciting and I look forward to reading more about their adventures.

This book has a main defect: it was too short. It's fun to read, an enjoyable mix of paranormal and romance.
The character are likeable and sexy and the plot get you hooked since the beginning.
Recommended!

If this had been expanded to a full-length novel, I think it would have been great. Instead, it skimps on details, pushes the plot along too fast and minimizes most character development -- not to mention ending very abruptly. The writing is good, the characters are compelling, and I like the "Immortal Pirates and the Holy Grail" plot. However, this book is best read as a prequel to the (much better) books in the rest of the Sentinels of Savannah series.
