Kindred Magic (Dangerous Magic Book 2)
By melodyraven
This one was a little bit sad. I really felt for Sonia. She does a pretty good job keeping it together even though it’s obvious how much it’s hurting her. I’m not sure how well I would do in her situation.
The plot is definitely thickening and there are many new mysteries to solve. I love the twists and I’m very curious what Sonia and her group are going to uncover in the next segment. Can’t wait for Death Magic.
This is the second book in a spin off from the New Breed series. The book is told in first person with the main character, Sonia, being the most powerful witch in the world. She is part of a team that has formed with Homeland Security. The story picks up where the last one ended. There is still friction between Sonia and Carter with more later in the book due to “NotIan”. Sonia is working with Gabbie to help find her brother. A lot happens in this book and we are left with another cliffhanger. I’m looking forward to reading the next one to see how everything will play out. I read this book with my kindle unlimited subscription and I am voluntarily giving my honest review.
4.25 stars–KINDRED MAGIC is the second instalment in Melody Raven’s contemporary, adult DANGEROUS MAGIC paranormal, sci-fi, urban fantasy series focusing on a powerful witch Sonia Shaw-a spin of from the author’s NEW BREED series. KINDRED MAGIC should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one Blood Magic; there is an ongoing premise throughout.
Told from first person perspective (Sonia Shaw) and third person (Carter Blackburn) KINDRED MAGIC continues to follow witch Sonia Shaw as she is contracted to work in the DMD (Dangerous Magic Department) of Homeland Security. With the recent and complicated death of her lover Ian, and the betrayal by Carter’s girlfriend Amy, Sonia and Carter are barely able to acknowledge one another as Sonia was the person to reveal the truth. When Sonia is tasked with protecting a man who sold his soul to the proverbial devil, our heroine will soon discover that the soul marker has been bought by someone she knows.
Meanwhile, the return of the recently deceased forces Sonia to rethink what happened and why as Sonia’s estranged but powerful father Gideon Shaw has also returned, and with it too many unanswered questions that threaten Sonia’s peace of mind. Carter Blackburn is determined to prove Sonia is not the woman she proclaims herself to be, a determination that places Sonia in the direct line of fire.
KINDRED MAGIC is a fast paced, character driven, exciting and suspenseful story of family, betrayal, secrets and lies. The premise is entertaining and engaging; the characters are powerful, magical, enchanting and tragic. KINDRED MAGIC ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
Another great book in this new series. Plenty of suspense. The tension is still there between Sonia and Carter and I don’t know if there will be an end in sight for them! lol I really do love all the characters in the series. I can not wait for book 3. It seems the author want’s to keep us in suspense as to what is to come! To me this ended in another cliffhanger but I am sure it will all be worth it in the end. I highly recommend picking up book 1 and book 2. You won’t regret it!
This Is A Gut Punching, Shocking & Captivating Read!! 4.5 Stars
Kindred Magic (Dangerous Magic Book 2)
This book continues the day after Sonia exposed Carter’s fiance, Amy, as a Spy!! Her dreaded next day starts slow for her, she feels sluggish, she’s ignored multiple calls from their Boss & she soon realises she probably shouldn’t have!!
To distract herself she decides to start helping Gabbie find her Brother. They have a couple of leads but it gets put on the back burner when they’re called in to start a full case for the DMD (Dangerous Magic Division). A
Superstar Actor, Brock Dresden, needs their help after striking a deal he wasn’t even sure was real initially. He’s sure now though & payment is due within the week!!
Carter has always had a huge chip on his shoulder regarding Sonia’s criminal past. He & his late partner, Ian, were never able arrest her & to have her working for law enforcement now doesn’t sit easily for him! This is tipped way, say over the line when he’s sent a video of her committing a heinous act! What will be decide to do??
I loved this book. It said the reading time was just over 5 hours, but it was finished as soon as I started, at least that’s how it felt. I was so completely absorbed in the fast paced & gripping story!! Carter shocked me to my core!! I can’t wait for Death Magic book #3
