The Avid Reader

I just love this series Blood & Magic and I when I saw that book 4 was available for review I jumped in with both feet. I have loved this series from the first book Cursed by Fire and all the characters as well. But I think that Branded by Fire is by far my favorite.

Aria has come a long way since the first book but she is still trying to get a control on her powers and now she has more power than one person should have and it just may be too much for her. But with her growing feelings Declan may just be the only thing that can keep her grounded and in control of her powers if not then she could level a city.

Aria is still trying to deal with being mated to the Northwest Pacific Pack leader Declan Valkenaar. But he is growing on her in more ways than she cares to admit. I think old Declan is sort of growing on me as well. I didn’t like that Declan was the one to bond with Aria to save her life in book 2 Kissed by Fire. No I wanted it to be James, Aria’s best friend and I think James wanted it to be him as well.

I love this world of Blood & Magic with the kick a** witch with all that power and more male attendees than she would like. Branded by Fire is filled with lots of fighting and the use of magical powers that is unbelievable. I can’t wait for more adventures with Aria to see her use her powers and what all she can do. I also can’t wait to see how Aria and Declan’s relationship develops and how the Pack and Aria interacts with each other and how she is going to deal with all that babysitting that Declan and the Pack puts on her. What mysteries will Aria get us into to next?

I would recommend Branded by Fire and the whole Blood & Magic series to anyone who loves a good magical book that is filled with lots of goodness and powerful magical fighting with the help of shifters. We have tigers and bears and foxes and a whole lot more. Come join in on all the fighting. Be sure and pick up your copies of all the books in the series to enjoy this wonderful, amazing journey. I would suggest that you start with Cursed by Fire book 1, then book 2 Kissed by Fire and then book 3 Burned by Fire before starting book 4 Branded by Fire as I know you want to know Aria’s story from the beginning.
