In a market currently saturated with witchy themed, and excellent witchy themed books, at that, it takes a lot to stand up to the competition. A Wicked Magic by Sasha Laurens is failed by a trite, overdone and unoriginal ending. Then there are the characters… Lord. These characters, though.

I’VE BEEN TAKEN HOSTAGE. Council Of The Ninja Magic Conjuring Cats Demand A Tag In Their Honor. Complete It Or Face The Consequences
I am being held against my will to complete this original book tag in honor of the Council of the Ninja Magic Conjuring Cats. Sensible because they are more popular than I. Non-sensical (and in my favor) because they can’t read. I’m not pushing it too much, though. I’m sure there are spies on the inside community. Yeah. I’m looking at you, Leah.

His And Hers By Alice Feeney Questions So Many Truths, Personalities And Lives I Pulled Out My ID To Make Sure I Was Me
In a summer of incredible Adult Psychological Thrillers, His And Hers, By Alice Feeney hits the mark and stands tall among them. It also continues in the long line of authors that are a first to me but not the world. PS. I may have cried of fear… -_-

Cut To The Bone By Ellison Cooper Fits Everything But The Kitchen Sink Into A 320 Page High-Stake, Race Against The Clock
Cut to the Bone is the third installment in Ellison Cooper’s Agent Sayer Altair series, but it works as a stand-alone, as well. I haven’t read the first two books and I didn’t miss a beat. It features a Black, female FBI Agent, a Gay counselor (former famous cook) with a three-legged therapeutic dog, and an amputee data investigator that is a cinnamon roll! Thrilling, educating, and fun… except for the part where a busload of students are kidnapped by some guy.
