I loved it. I feel like the series gets better with each book. Breena and her band of misfits seem to find trouble everywhere they turn. Is it weird that I want a Robert for myself? I can't wait to read more!

I absolutely love this series!! I have read all 3 books in 2 days. I'm not one to just do that. I haven't done that in 12 years! These books, for me, are different than your usual paranormal books. Bree is more realistic to me than other paranormal heroines. I guess because she is older (Which I love! ) and with that age come wisdom. Plus, she sometimes struggles with the more physical stuff and actually needs an advil or 20 afterwards! I really think if you enjoy reading the paranormal genre then you will love this whole series. Now, I just have to some how make it to December to read the next book * insert huge unhappy moan here*

DUCKING - While I'm sure the author thought the whole ducking was cute and endearing, it is the most annoying thing to keep reading. We are all adults and a good swear is needed at time. Especially if this character is suppose to be fed up and starting a new from being a reserved person who didn't speak her mind.
BREE TREATEMENT - Its becoming harder to read how Breena continues to let others walk all over her. They lie and manipulate her and she still allows them in her life because they treat her slightly better than her ex. Corb lies and consistently manipulating situations. Thomas lying saying he helped her get rid of a spell but it was all a lie for her to owe the Hallows a favor. Sarge trying to kill and her just forgiving it. While I understand that she just got out of an abusive relationship and any slight improvement in treatment she sees as being treated well. I hope she starts to see her worth and stop allow others to treat badly. After her divorce she was all alone so now that she has some friend she is willing to put up with sub par treatment instead of cutting them off so she doesn't have to be alone.
LOVE TRIANGLE - The whole love triangle seems more for something to put on the page than it actually being something interesting, seems more distracting than anything. We want true connection not just you are so hot I can't think when you are around. Both option of men are sub par, compared to her ex a big upgrade but over all she can do better.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT/GROWTH - Healing is a process so I hope as she learns her true worth and gains confidence she starts to cut people out of her life that are toxic or don't prove to growing. She still has a lot of insecurities to work on, with having Eric there you would think she would use his services. She clearly needs it and it will help her character develop and create more depth. We are three books in and I don't feel like the characters are growing/developing or maybe it's too slow for us to notice differences from book to book. She has trust issues but always seems to pick the wrong person to trust. They told her not to go to Crash and she just believed what they said. Crash has been the only one who has always been upfront with her and has not lied. He deals in some bad things but he has never lied or manipulated her.
EX HUSBAND - While it was satisfying for her ex to be killed in a horrific way, it does not give a sense of justice for what was done to her. Nor does rights the wrong she had to endure. Life insurance that pays for the debt seems anticlimactic. Plus he's still around as a ghost being so annoying.
CONCLUSION - Even with all those things that I disliked in the book, the story over all was very intriguing. The world the author build pulls you in and you want to keep reading to find out what is next. Still so many unanswered question what is Bree? Who killed her family? Who are the mayor players? Maybe we will find out in the next book.

Paranormal fiction at its finest
Hilarious, action pact and one of the best in the series so far! So many things are going on her life it's hard to keep them straight. Bree is definitely a magnate for death and darkness, it seems to stick to her like glue. A lot of heat and sexual tension and I just want her to pick someone, even if that someone seems to be hot and cold and is making my head spin! Something is happening in Savannah and it's getting more dangerous every day. Everyone seems to want something from her, or want her to do something! I devoured this installment and I'm diving right into the next one! Another five star read for me!

The excitement keeps coming!
Set aside some serious binge reading time for this series. It sucks you in and won’t let you go!
A very quick overview:
Bree accepts a job with a goblin. Bree meets with the council and befriends an old man who they keep around, but don’t think much of. Bree and Crash get closer. The King of the goblins steals her friends and Bree needs to get them back.
There is action to the very last word. I really couldn’t put this one down. The only downside are all the characters. There are so many that sometimes I forget who is who.
I absolutely love how this author writes from Bree’s point of view. It’s like Bree is telling us this story as she’s living it. It’s more intense than a normal first person narrative. I feel what Bree is feeling. When her heart soars, mine is right there with her. And when she nearly has her heart broken, I want to go drown my sorrows in whiskey along with her.
This is a fantastic series! Seriously dedicate some time to it. Happy reading y’all!!

A Strong Third Book
This is the third book in the series and is just as good as the first two. Shannon has a way of writing characters where you feel like you know them in real life. You love them, hate them, and cheer for or against them. Her books, this one included, are infused with romance, humor, and suspense.

Another fantastic instalment of the forty proof series.
Next book is in December so that will be a fun wait.
Bre is an older woman who has moved to Savanah because she has no other options. She is a witch and a powerful one. She is also part fae. She finds herself attracted to 2 guys, the fae king and her ex-husbands cousin.
