Ever had ex-housemates you can’t get rid of?
When Killian and the rest of the Drake vampires kicked me out of their mansion without any explanation, I felt beyond betrayed… house back! Best yet, I can pass on the magic techniques and fighting skills I’ve learned to all the wizards in our group.
As long as I ignore the rotating vampires standing watch on the corner across the street, life is normal again…until the fae risk injuring hundreds of supernaturals just to stage a surprise attack on Killian.
There’s no way I’m going to let the fae get away with this. I may be furious with Killian, but I hate bullies even more.
But, big surprise, my good deed won’t go unpunished. I knew I’d face a fallout for saving the most feared and lethal vampire in the Midwest—I just never imaged the lengths Killian would go through to protect me and win me back…
Magic Unleashed is the final book in the Hall of Blood and Mercy trilogy, which features vampires, wizards, fae, and werewolves. It’s packed with humor, adventure, and a sweet, slow burn romance between a vertically challenged wizard and the deadliest vampire in town.

I loved this series and wish it went on for another book or two. Lots of action and humor in this one. Hazel and House Medeis wizards and the Drake family vampires learn to fight together, there’s a big showdown with Queen Nyte and her Court, oh – and a big fearsome vampire closing in on a petite, snarky wizard! Likable characters, good action, and a fun, original world. Clean enough for teens and enjoyable for adults.
This was the finale of this series, and it was incredible! I loved every page. Hazel has trained up her wizard house to be awesome! But Killian’s vampires still seem to be stalking her. She wants to give him the figurative middle finger, until the Night Court faes attack the vampires on neutral ground. Hazel’s too virtuous of an idiot to let that kind of crap go on under her watch. And so…the story booms from there. All the loose ends were wrapped up from the other books. The ending was dreamy and all that I could hope for. I loved the twist on this magical world the author created. It was super captivating, funny, and swoony all at once. Bravo!
Loved the whole series. Fun with some twists and turns, very fast-paced. I don’t generally like vampires because…well, they are dead. This focused on the humanity of the vamps. The main wasn’t instantly head over heels either. She didn’t do stupid things just because the guy was handsome. Relied on her wits, wasn’t afraid of hard work and wanted those around her to succeed too. She has a good head on her shoulders even though she’s down on her luck. The three books in the series flow together really well. Some of the most human vampires I’ve ever read!
K.M. Shea has done it again by sucking me into another great series. Let’s just say that Magic Unleashed was a perfect end to an amazing series. You got to see Hazel and Killian’s adorable HEA which I have to say took a long time. The end of the second book had me worried about their future together, but it was definitely worth the wait. I loved seeing the end of this series played out with plenty of action, romance, and always K.M. Shea’s hilarious humor.
Magic Unleashed is the third book in the Hall of Blood and Mercy series. It’s an urban fantasy series about a vertically challenged wizard, and an extremely feared wizard that I recommend reading in order. It picks off soon after Killian kicks Hazel out of the Drake family mansion. She is still furious with Killain, but when the fae attacks him, she can’t stand by and do nothing, so she decides to help him. And Killain is not about to let Hazel go a second time.
This book was so good! I loved seeing Killian and Hazel’s slow burn romance finally pan out. It was adorable to see them work out their differences and learn how to trust each other. I really loved how Hazel held Killian accountable for his mistakes. She forgave him, but she made it clear that he couldn’t keep his behavior the same. And I loved how Killian was willing to change for her. Their romance is also really clean which is hard to find these days.
And you get to see more of Hazel’s House, who are hilarious, with the Drake family. It was awesome to finally see Hazel and Killian’s world collide. Plus it made for some hysterical scenes. I loved seeing Josh and Celestina again too. I will never get used to Josh’s obsession with death especially because he can’t die. I just adore K.M. Shea’s gift for irony and satire. I really like how none of her books take themselves too seriously.
It was definitely an amazing last book that perfectly finished the Hall of Blood and Mercy series. It gave you a satisfying end to Hazel, Killian, the Medeis House, and the Drake family. It also concludes with the fae world still in pieces which is great because a new main character will come to clean it up. Leila is half human and half fae, and her books will also be a trilogy and come out in late November. I can’t wait to see more books in this world. I’d like to add that the book is really clean, but the word ass is used a bit. Other than that there is no language.
Lovely finish to a series! Reading Killian and company try to get back in Hazel’s good graces is amusing. The story line with the Night Court gets intriguing and the conclusion is well done.
The epilogue is a nice touch and I would love it if more books were in this series.
One of the funnest series I have read in a long while. K.M Shea is a fun author. Her books are geared to younger readers but I enjoy them. I just read this whole series in a couple days. Her books just suck you in. You just have so much fun and care about her characters. This is the final book but she does leave it open to write more if she wanted to. The triumphant ending was not a disappointment:} I thought I might kill this author after waiting for three books for the main characters to finally have their MOMENT! And then she delivered:} It was great. She keeps it very tame so I could hand this to my 11 year old and have no problems with them reading the kissing scene. Lots of heavy moments with light banter right after. I almost wished there would have been more of a serious romantic feel because I am older but it wouldn’t have fit with her writing style. I enjoyed the whole series.
Some violence but nothing overly described and people heal. 12 and up
