Book Review: Magic Rises (Book 6 of Kate Daniel's Series)

I won't do spoilers! 
I'll just be so annoyingly vague to the point you (who haven't read the book) will feel stupid (which you should for not reading the book. . .Alicia W Brewster!)!

Before I get into my FANGIRL FRENZY. Let's do a moment of silence for someone dear to my heart who passed away in this book!

The person who passed away brought such great entertainment to the stories, and was one of the most unique characters in the urban fantasy genre.

                       You will be missed!!

I loved this book. Was it the best in the series?

Gosh, I really don't know. I tend to masturbate to them all pretty equally. 

I will say there was a bit of drama in this one. Curran and Kate's relationship was tested several times to the point where Kate's Pimp Hand itched a whole lot.

There were loads of interesting magic!

Hoards of great fight scenes!

And the funny. . .

Oh there was tons of funny! Check these lines out:


"When a joke flies past a sulking werejaguar, does i make a sound?"

"I'd signed six things and my stack wasn't getting any smaller. It was like the paperwork was breeding while I worked."

or this scene..

"Is it poisoned?" Saiman asked.
"It's Saturday," I said. "We only serve poison during the week." 
"Yes, we're not complete savages." Curran sat.


So to wrap things up. . . 

I laughed, cried, orgasmed, got pissed off, jumped in victory, cried some more, screamed, and then fell into a state of depression because the book had ended.

NOW WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE????

Cover Reveal: The Cirque by Ryann Kerekes

A Goodreads reviewer that I truly trust in her book opinions was going crazy over this book. . .so. . .because I am sick. I rushed over, emailed the author, begged to get a review copy, and threatened to stand outside her home and sing Lil Wayne lyrics at the tune of country music songs.

She replied and sent me the book, although confessing that she loves Lil Wayne and an occasional country music song, so I could just BRING IT!

Anyway. Long story short. I'm reading the book and the fan girl inside my core is vibrating with excitement! Here is the Cover Reveal below.

I'll post my review and a giveaway for this lovely book on Feb 22.

Book Blurb:
Eighteen-year-old ballerina Ariel is determined to experience life
outside the dance studio. She auditions for the cirque on a whim, and though ballet training didn’t prepare her for dodging knives, she refuses to flinch and wins the spot of target girl alongside Gabriel, the mysterious knife-thrower.

There’s something unmistakably dangerous yet tempting about Gabriel’s crystal blue eyes and tattoos. She’s determined to solve the mystery of his past after learning he’s on the run from the law. Especially since the distraction is just what she needs to avoid admitting to her parents she was dismissed from her
ballet contract.

The more she learns about Gabriel, the scars on his body, the foster
homes he grew up in, and his fascination with knives, she knows she should run the other way, but that boy’s like crack, oh so bad for you, yet addicting as hell. When he’s arrested and forced to deal with his past, she has to choose between putting her own life back together and dealing with her parents, or taking a chance on Gabriel, as no one else has.
