HAPPY RELEASE DAY!!!
I have been wanting more of The Charm Collector series since I read Diabolical Sword. Let me tell you... I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by this second installment!!!!
After Harlow goes on the run with Caspian Blackthorn, her bestie Kayda Verdan was not a happy camper. In this book, we get to learn more about Kayda's POV and follow her outrageous adventures with her crush, Henri. Kayda is one bad a** Draken who can toss juvenile orcs out of the casino and still show up ready to party in her thigh-high slit dresses. Despite being over 7 feet tall and stronger than an ox, Kayda has a soft & sensitive side, and she still gets nervous around Henri and his nervous stutter. They make a dynamic duo, and along with glamour witch Welsh, they learn more about the Vampire Hunters of America and the dark forces behind the ferals slipping through the veil into Luma.
Harlow and Caspian are on the hunt for treasure, and not just any old treasure will do. They are looking for a special treasure that has something to do with their friend, the sentient magical cutlass. But this treasure might just have them in over their heads. Trolls are terrifying, did you know that?? I still have anxiety (read TERROR) after reading about the massive trolls that work for the black-market trade where the sunken pirate ship booty can be found. Now they've got a treasure chest full of items that both the fae AND the Collective want and are willing to hunt them down for it. Harlow also gets a surprise visit from someone in her past!!
Yet again, Melissa Erin Jackson DID NOT DISAPPOINT with fantastic world-building and characters that you just can't help but love! If you're looking for an urban fantasy that will take you on multiple adventures and keep you on the edge of your seat, look no further! This is the series for you.
The only downside? Now I have to wait for book 3 to be written!!!!
I want to extend a HUGE thanks to the author for an advanced digital review copy of this book. I am providing an honest review as a courtesy and all thoughts are my own.
