Who’s more dangerous—the brooding, attractive man she’s partnered with or the things they’re hunting?Lizzie Ashton thought being a professional Fire Impeder was dangerous, but using her magic to stop bombs, guns, and fires before they start is nothing compared to what happens when Abel, an intense man she’s worked with previously, storms back into her life.Abel needs assistance with a dangerous … needs assistance with a dangerous task that only Lizzie can do. She hesitates to accept his job offer, as what little she knows of his dark past unnerves her, despite their moments of attraction. But when the local police department calls her in on a disturbing murder investigation, Lizzie must put aside her misgivings and partner up with Abel.
Luckily, she has the Shade Amulet to help her. But as more people are murdered—and closer to Lizzie’s home—the case quickly becomes personal. Is this job worth her life?
If you enjoy edge-of-your-seat fantasy action, slightly snarky humor, and a hint of romance, you’ll love the first book in the pulse-pounding Koven Chronicles. The Shade Amulet will thrill you to the core. It will keep you up late into the night, devouring its pages. Grab it now.

I first met Lizzie in the mosaic chronicles where she was a boy crazy flirt. In this series Lizzie is all grown up and working one of the most dangerous magical jobs there are. And then she’s tasked with saving the world in top of it! Can she do what it takes In time? Read on to find out!
To be honest, I didn’t want to read this book as it is an offshoot of another series and I usually do not like that. However, I promised and the author is great so I read it. I am so very glad I did read this book. It started off really good and ended great. While this book focuses on Lizzie, some old friends of books past do show up in cameo appearances. Nonstop action leads to a well written cliffhanger. Still, everyone ends on a healthy note. LOL. I can’t wait to read the next one. This is a clean read with no swearing and the only PDAs are a kiss on the forehead and a tiny bit of hand holding. Great for teens and adults alike.
This book starts off quickly and never lets you go! If you’re looking for a quick read, this is it. What is the Shade Amulet and how is it going to help Lizzie fight demons? Lizzie is a professional fire impeder and works in a dangerous job. But things heat up when she finds that she must work with Abel, someone she isn’t sure she trusts, to fight demons from another world. The demons are hunting her even as she hunts them…*I received a free eBook copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*
Interesting and creative story. The introduction of the paranormal beings was a bit shocking, but then Andrea somehow made it work. Next thing I know I’m still reading when i should be sleeping. At some point i was so into it that i felt like I was there and the bedroom disappeared until i finished the book. On to the next one.
Plenty of action, magic and intrigue
I picked this book up from KU as soon as it came out. I have been following this author for awhile now. I have read most of her Mosaic Chronicles books but I must for-warn those who have not. This book contains some spoilers regarding Nicole and Austin. However, I was glad to read that Lizzie has gotten her own book series. She is a larger-than-life character and truly deserves the attention. The action in this story begins within the first few pages. From then on it is intrigue and action interspersed throughout the book. The reader also sees the possibility of some romance for Lizzie (Finally! I hope, I hope!). This book is a wonderful continuation of Lizzie’s story and I will definitely be following through with the rest of this series.

Interesting story! I enjoyed it very much, especially the magic twist to a modern life. The story occurs in an intriguing world and sets the stage for what should be a very interesting and entertaining series.
I was given a copy of this book from the author. So thank you for allowing me to read your book. I enjoyed reading this story about magic, demons and other beings. I did feel the book was too short so missed detail, especially since I have not read the series that the main character is in. Guess I will read the main series to understand more. This book is clean for anyone to read, has action and keeps you interested
Brilliant writing! The words flow like water in a creek. This series is such a joy to read. The storyline ran fast and furious with Lizzie as an Fire Impeder. She could stop sparks from a gun or sparks from a bomb and worked for the Police department through the entire State. Things start to happen with other people and hounds chasing her. Good book. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
ANDREA JUST KEEPS BRINGING IT!!!
A wonderful, exciting, amusing and just plain awesome stoy. You’ll never want this series to end. Andrea is a super talented author. She continues to put her heart into her tales. I would definitely recommend The Shade Amulet to anyone who enjoys Urban Fantasy.
I received a free copy of this book to post an honest review of the book. I loved it! It was a super enjoyable read, and I’ll be starting on the next book tonight 🙂 Andrea Pearson delivers an excellent story and start to what is bound to be a great series yet again!! For those who know Lizzie from the Mosaic Chronicles, she is back working as a cool Fire Impeder in the state of Utah. What a fun ride! Lizzie just found out she’s part of a prophecy to defeat supernaturals like vampires and shifter werewolves and has no idea what to do, and she’s also romantically involved with two good looking men, but her heart truly only belongs to one. It is a short read, but the book is comprehensive and full of enough action to keep you fully engaged.
Lizzie is a wonderful mix of strength and weakness, confidence and uncertainty, comfort and want & so many other dichotomies. While the story is mainly serious, there are also a good number of humorous point.
I was provided this book as an ARC by the author; however, the review is my honest opinion.
This book gets you hooked right away and you are reading it faster and faster to see what happens next. Andrea Pearson is a terrific author who will work her magic on you. When you finish it you are anxious for the next book to read in the series.
