Synopsis: They say you can never go home again. If only that
were true. Game store owner and nerd sorceress extraordinaire Jade Crow knows
death stalks her in the form of her murderous ex-lover, Samir, a sorcerer who
wants to eat her heart and take her power. With the help of her friends, and
sexy tiger-shifter Alek, Jade trains for the inevitable confrontation. Until
her estranged father shows up begging for help. Someone or something is
murdering the crow shifters of Three Feathers ranch and her father believes
sorcery is the only way to stop the killings. Faced with an unknown foe, a
family that exiled her decades before, a deepening relationship with Alek, and
Samir's ever-present threat, Jade will need all the power she's gained and then
some to stop the Murder of Crows. (from the online description)
Review: I purchased this after reading the first. It was
good. Bellet creates characters with depth and flaws, even the secondary
characters. With fine pacing and plot, it was worth the $3 for the digital
version, even though it's not very long.
Jade returns to her home and family at the request of her
father - the same man who tossed her out at 14. I don't want to spoil it, but we
learn the answers to questions about Jade's past, but those questions are
replaced by others - and we still don't know much about her ex-boyfriend, the
evil sorcerer. I enjoyed the twist on the Native American folklore and the
further exploration of Jade's magic. Her interactions with Alek felt plausible,
and I'm interested to see where they go and where Jade's story goes.
