If magic could kill, it would. Or, at least it would kill Devon Jinx.

Half warlock, half… well, it used to be half witch, but I’m not so sure anymore. Ever since I defeated a powerful witch, my magic isn’t what it used to be. And, yet, I still hunt the ring leaders of the witch slave trade.

Until a more unsavoury plot appears. Gerard, my handsome agent partner, works with me to unravel the mystery of the warlock and witch gatherings. Apparently, they want to do a lot more than party. They’re prepared to create half-breeds, like me, to keep the warlock coven safe from the witches who threaten it.

And yet, from my own experience, being a half witch, half warlock, isn’t all fun and games. If I don’t stop the rogue supernaturals, the poor beings that are born into the world will face the same ultimatum as me: To choose just one type of magic… or die.

Witch, Warlock, Whatever…

My name’s Devon Jinx, and, yes, I’m half warlock, half witch. But I couldn’t care less about which kind of magic is better. All I want to do is keep my head down and get on with my new job as an investigator at the Hunted Witch Agency.

A recent, shall we say, mistake, has put me in place to inherit the leadership of the warlocks. Which means only one thing. I have a choice to make: Leave behind my life of witchery to become a warlock, or lose my warlock magic forever.

Complicating my choice is the fact that someone is trying to destroy the warlock coven. If I don’t stop them, the warlocks will be annihilated. The task seems impossible until Gerard Freshwater, a distractingly handsome witch, explodes into my life. He’s determined to make me see that being a witch isn’t just the best option, but the only option.

Be careful what you ask for…

Kylie got into journalism to write important stories. Ones about gargoyles and dryads, elemental warriors, and thwarted magical attacks on her city. The bigger the story, the better. So when she lands the opportunity to ask an enchanted everlasting tree for the answer to any question she desires, she doesn’t have to think about it. She wants the story of a lifetime.

So does her nemesis, Nathan. If anyone is going to write a high-profile story, the senior journalist believes it should be him—and Nathan’s not above playing dirty to get his way. Kylie must work fast or risk losing control of her story.

But with every new lead forcing Kylie and her gargoyle companion, Quinn, deeper into a deadly maze of murder, warped magic, and monstrous beasts, rushing could prove fatal. Kylie is determined to publish her dream story, but she is beginning to wonder…will she survive long enough to write it?

USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Chastain returns to the beloved world of the Terra Haven Chronicles for a brand-new spellbinding adventure of elemental magic and courageous gargoyles. If you love action-packed stories filled with mythical creatures, brave heroines, and adorable sidekicks, you’ll love Leads & Lynxes!

Book Review Scythian Dawn Book 1 by P.K. Lentz

by

Well this was bloody fun. I mean that in the literal sense. Scythian Dawn imagines an alternative Earth history where humans are kept in an eternal Dark Age by aliens. Anytime a civilization gets too powerful, it is razed.

The hero of the story is Princess Arixa of Scythia. A Princess who gave up princessy comforts to become the leader of a war band, she encounters friendlier aliens, learns the bad aliens’ plans for the city she abandoned, and sets out not to save just her people but all mankind.

She’s tough and that toughness slips into being a tyrant sometimes, or at least duplicitous. But it fits. She was raised to rule and to fight, she (mostly) doesn’t doubt her victory or death is the right course for humanity.

The book has lots of funny one liners, and believable characters. Her horde is barbaric, and it works because they would be. The contrast of a culture that is distantly bloody (the evil aliens) and the barbarians who are in your face bloody is well done.

If you like shoot em up sci-fi, I think you’ll like this. I read it in a day and bought the next book.
