Blood Magic Box Set by M.J. Kraus, J.T. Lawrence
4.0
Average rating of 3.5 stars for this enjoyable, action packed series
Book 1
======
3 stars
Good fun and I enjoyed the various characters. I do wonder if Jax could ever die. She seems to roll from one fight to the death battle to another, often more than one in a day, managing somehow to recover her strength without rest or sustenance (mostly). This is very action packed and there was a bit of a lover's twist which surprised me to tie some things together. Also why can't I have a housekeeper ghost?
Book 2
=======
4 stars
Really enjoyed this second book in the series. There were fewer battles and more adventures. The pace is as frantic as ever and I'm starting to get really curious about Darick and Lysander. Ends on a bit of a cliffhanger so I'm glad I already own book 3!
Book 3
=======
3.5 stars
I am motoring through this series. There is so much going on that each chapter flies by. A whole book later and then I realise we still don't know what Darick was about to confess at the end of book 2. I guess I'll just have to keep reading. And that last scene at the church definitely had a girl-power-super-hero-team feel about it :-)
Book 4
=======
3.5 stars
Lots of action and activity although the broader plot didn't really develop much further. Still enjoyable.
Book 5
======
3.5 stars
More action and adventure and no closer to the source of the mystery. Who's really behind everything and what is so special about Jax?
Book 6
======
3 stars
It was a fun and almost happy ending to the series but somehow I can't shake the feeling that I was expecting something a little bit more. I also was getting a bit weary of the recaps of the series that kept popping up. I probably would've been grateful for these if I'd had longer gaps between books though.
