**I received an ARC of this story for an honest review

Overall I did like the story. The beginning was really good, but then the end felt really rushed. There was too much crammed in for a short story. I would have liked it a lot more if it had been a full length novel. I liked the main character, however she seemed to get over such tragedy rather quickly. Her surviving daughter seemed to grieve longer than she did. 

3 stars out of 5

Review of Cold Burn of Magic by Jennifer Estep

Image
Lila Merriweather lives in a world were there are monsters, fairies, and humans with Talents. She is a 17yr old orphan with two rare Talents that lies, and steals for a living. She works for a man that runs a pawn shop named Moe and the initial view of their relationship reminds you of the Artful Dodger and Fagin. The town that she works for is controlled by several Families, two in particular, that rule like the Mob but have a feud worse than the Hatfields and McCoys. Lila avoids both families at all costs, but one day she can't help save a boy, Devon, that happens to be the son of one of the rival Families.

Review of Hotter Than Helltown by SM Reine

This is the first book I have read by this author. I was definitely curious especially since it is in a man's point of view. This is the third book in the Preternatural Affairs series. It follows a male witch, Cesar Hawke, as he and his partner have to solve a crime involving mutilated dead bodies that are popping up all over the place. It took me a little while to get to this book, but once I got into it, I didn't put it down until I was done. Cesar is absolutely hilarious. I found him squeamish, unsure of himself, always seems to have a plan, and yet very likable. He is also very loyal to his partner and his director. Towards the end of the book, he is able to find the confidence he needs to pull off some hard magic and save his boss. I look forward to reading more books with him in it.

Review of The Girl Who Ignored Ghosts by K.C. Tansley - 5 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Kat was in Professor McTernan's class of the lore and lure of historical places. Kat had to do a paper on a double murder that happened in 1886. Ghosts were things that Kat had actively avoided for the last 8 years. Ghosts were a constant presence since childhood, but Kat had some things to help her. Kat was a young woman who had powers and she connected with her ancestors to do what had to be done. She was a great character, as were all the others. The plot and overall story were very entertaining. I highly recommend.
