Unbound Magic by Alexis Calder

 

3 Star

Raven and her men survived the trials but now there is a new enemy that escaped from the Fae Realm. This fae wants something that Raven has, and she has to willingly give it to him. She will need to survive his attacks as well as doing the trials over again as the school board nullified those results.

This is a good conclusion to the series. I was a little irritated by Raven towards the end of this one because she was assuming her men were all going to leave her. Didn’t talk it over with them just assumed. Overall, if you like academy books this is a pretty good one to read and I enjoyed the series.

Fated Magic by Alexis Calder

3 Star

Raven’s magic has come back, the Time Thief has been destroyed so life should be easier for Raven but they’re not. She now has to prepare for the trials. The school is changing how they are done this year. Instead of attempting them on their own they are now placed in groups. Raven is matched with Ben, Matt, Zach, and Luka. They will have to work together to survive the trials.

There is a huge OMG in this book that I sort of saw coming but it was still interesting to get to it. I loved that things were revealed in this book and still left some questions for the last book. I enjoyed the growth of the relationships between Raven and her men. Overall, it was a good addition to the series, and I enjoyed it but cliffhanger esq ending.

Wolf Chosen by Alexis Calder

 

1 star

With all her history finally revealed. She knows what she has to do. The problem she's not sure she can.  Will she be able to take out her uncle and get rid of the corruption plaguing the packs?

Well, the series is done, and I am left with questions. Why do they have King/Queen? Why couldn't a mate bond be broken without Someone dying? Particularly when the mate is abusive! Overall, the book and series were not the best and I would skip it.

Broken Magic by Alexis Calder

 

3 Star

Raven’s magic has disappeared because of the Time Thief, and she will do anything to bring it back including working with the weird teacher and getting closer to Matt and Zach. Even if she gets her magic back, she still can’t use it as that will lead to her going to prison. Which is the worse outcome?

This continued where book one ended and was right on par with the first one. The story moved nicely but ends on a cliffhanger esq ending which makes for a very long night of reading so I can see where things end up. Be warned.

Wolf Untamed by Alexis Calder

 

2 Star

Betrayed by all, who is Lola supposed to turn to. Her mate wants to complete the bond but for all the wrong reasons. The man she was interested in betrayed her and she's not sure she wants to forgive and forget.

This one is so much worse than the first one and it still ends in a cliffhanger. I get she was betrayed but there is only so much you can do on your own. Plus, she doesn't seem to understand why he did what he did. He's trying to take care of those relying on him. One more book to go.

Untamed Magic by Alexis Calder

 

3 Star

Raven didn’t know she had magic until she killed two men with fire who were trying to assault her. She’s given the choice to go to the special academy or go to magic prison. She chooses to head to school with hopes to figure out what is going on with her. While at school she attracts the attention of the four most eligible men. They all want to help her for their own reasons. Will she have to pick which man she ends up with?

I enjoyed the story for the most part. I didn’t like the I have to have you oh wait this stuff behind the scenes say no so I am going to withdraw my friendship from you to appease people. All without actually telling her any of this. Looking at you Ben the shapeshifter. Luka was an interesting take on Incubus with his ability to drop into her dreams. I also really liked the twins Matt and Zach. Overall, I enjoyed the story enough to continue with the series to see how it will all play out.

The night she's able to leave her fated mate attacks her and leaves her for dead. She is able to get away and ends up with the rogues. Will She find her place with them, or will her birth pack find her?

I enjoyed this book up to the end when it ended on a cliffhanger. I can see why the twist at the end happened, but it did frustrate me. We will see how the next book works out.
