I am excited to have a new series from Benedict Jacka! I read a bit about the magic on his website before reading the book. It was short reading and gave me a bit more of a foundation for the story. I like the main character, Stephen, who has some long-time friends but really no […]
I LOVED having the Alex Verus series as the Read-along choice for 2019. Risen is the final book of the series and I have highly anticipated it. I would definitely recommend reading this series in order and the books are highly recommended. I look at my review of Forged and many things are the same. ” […]
I LOVED having the Alex Verus series as the Read-along choice for 2019. I enjoyed every book. Benedict Jacka is a clever bugger because he has me loving a spider and rooting for her! Forged is the 11th book, so there may be some spoilers here for earlier books. I would definitely recommend reading this series […]
We have come to the last published book, Fallen, and the end of the Read-along. I can’t express enough how glad I am to have chosen this Alex Verus series. I managed, even with a schedule, to get them all at the library and they were available in ebook and audio. I feel grateful that […]
Gah. It never gets any easier. Alex is busy trying to stay alive and do his “job” on the Council as a junior member. He is working to retrieve artifacts which were stolen from the Vault. He also makes an effort to keep as many alive as he can on either side. But he is […]
Alex has learned how to make some great friends, but he is much better at making enemies. And he has made some doozies. Richard and Mordan are at top of that list (a very long list at that) and they are by far the most dangerous. They are educated, cunning, patient, mysterious and are playing […]
I feel like every great series has that book where the s**t hits the fan and it feels like nothing can go right for the hero. Burned is that book in the Alex Verus series. In sum, Alex gets his burn notice from the Council of Mages in an emergency session led by […]
Alex starts to make some decisions to protect himself and his friends. Luna urges him to try to work with Caldera to become a Keeper. So he tries it. It may or may not make him safer. There are people who want to kill him in the Keepers, in the Council and in the […]
Hidden is the fifth book in the Alex Verus Series. Â So far this series has been getting better and better with each installment and while I did enjoy Hidden quite a bit it wasnât my favorite book of the series so far, Chosen still holds that space but it is another really good story […]
Chosen was another great installment in the Alex Verus Series. This is a series that really does need to be read in order since each book builds on the previous installments. I think I am liking each book in the series a little more as I work my way through the series and I […]
