What do you do when everyone wants you dead?January Chevalier is no stranger to having a price on her head, but when mad magician ‘Bob El Muerto’ turns up, claiming January is trying to steal his title of ‘king of the magicians’, it’s the final straw. Bob wants them to have an epic magical duel to the death, but January just wants to be left in peace to bake her cakes. To make matters worse, …
To make matters worse, January makes the discovery that her life is being written about on a blog and both her past, and several things she’d rather have kept a secret, are on the internet for everyone and anyone to read. Can she uncover the identity of her stalker and get them to stop their scribbling before too many bad guys take out blog subscriptions?
Tor Bennet may claim that January is an immortal enchanter, but January suspects it won’t be too long before her ‘immortality’ is put to the test…
She’s just not sure who’s going to kill her first – The Clan, a bounty hunter, or Bob.

Standalones, but a well written series! If you love Sooky, you’ll love this series. Each book gets better, as do the characters and the plots are suspense-filled, intriguing and action-packed.
Death’s Reckless Reaper, Prequel – An introduction to January. I’m glad I read Death’s Dark Horse first, since the anticipation of discovering what her other form was well fed by the delay in revealing the truth. This little story starts with her move to Paris and her experiences with her first vampire marked for death and a twist. Read after Death’s Dark Horse is my recommendation, if at all. The author said she was going to rewrite Reaper and make it 1.5 instead of a prequel. 5*
Death’s Dark Horse #1 – A well written, suspense filled story with a unique and surprising character and many other interesting characters, along with humor thorough out the story. The plot is well thought out and the reader is kept guessing as to what is so specially about the main character: her job is surprising and you may guess at her animal. I guessed it but put it out of my mind and surprise I was right. I’ve read many of Ms. Loren’s books and she gets better with each new book. 5*
Death’s Hexed Hobnobs #2 – The story takes place a year after Death’s Dark Horse ends. This book is amazing! I felt like I was reading a Butcher novel. This well written, action paced, suspense filled novel kept me prisoner to its pages. The plot twisted like an angry rodeo bull and the suspense never stopped, along with humor thorough out the story . The characters, while well thought out in DDH, become stronger and evoke all sorts of emotions from the reader. I can’t wait to see what #3 is has in stock for the reader.5*
Death’s Endless Enchanter #3 – This book starts right where Death’s Hexed Hobnobs ended. Well written, filled with suspense and intrigue, humor and well developed characters with realistic dialog – (not stupid dialog). Although the book concludes the issues that arise in this book, it’s a cliffhanger and the book doesn’t end the way the reader would expect. 5*
Death’s Ethereal Enemy #4 – This book starts a month after Death’s Endless Enchanter ended. Well written, intriguing with the suspense starting later in the chapters than usual, but making up for the delay. Still with humor, but some darkness appearing and new revelations as the plot twists and the pace picks up. 5*
Death’s Last Laugh #5 – This is a whooper! There’s a lot happening in this book: action; intrigue; suspense; romance; and humor. Another well-written story that keeps the reader immersed in the pages, and too soon, the end is reached. This very substantial book with it’s well thought out twists and turns, along with the continuous growth of the characters makes it hard to put the book down. So ease up with the tea. I’m so glad I contacted the author to review her books. She hasn’t disappointed me yet and she has traveled a long was from Larch Hall. 5*
Another great story. January seems cursed to have the worst luck with guys in her life. Nonetheless, she inspires loyalty and she bakes fantastic cakes.

Fantastic Paranormal Series
This is another episode in the great January Chevalier series. I am enjoying this paranormal series more than I expected. This is not my normal genre, but these books are not creepy. This mystery series is more of a fantasy than a thriller. This one ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. However, by now the reader should be invested enough to be ready for the next book. I have enjoyed all of this author’s books so far. My goal is to read her entire catalog. I received a free copy of this book (ARC) and voluntarily chose to share my honest review.
