Magic Forged is the first book in the completed Hall of Blood and Mercy trilogy. I'm not sure what happens when a scrappy wizard is taught how to fight by a hall of deadly vampires, but I'm about to find out. And if I can convince him to train me, I might get strong enough to free my family and get my house back. And he's definitely using me as his personal magic detector in his feud against the local fae.īut Killian is also the first person to believe I might have more than just a scrap of magic. He's also so powerful that my flight or fight instincts kick in every time our eyes meet. Is Killian sexy and charismatic? Heck yeah. I barely manage to flee, but the only supernatural willing to help me is Killian Drake - the most feared vampire in the region, and a far more deadly villain than the jerk threatening my family. The situation veers from bad to catastrophic when my backstabbing cousin stages a coup and takes my family hostage. But when my parents die in an accident, and I find myself responsible for our whole wizard house and family, I know my usual tactics aren't going to cut it. Thank you.As someone with barely a flicker of magic, I've spent my life being mocked and surviving fights with bullies. I’m going to go dive into this new series you’ve written, but I just wanted to let you know how very much I appreciate your books and you as a person. Hell, I waited damn near 15 years for Garth Nix to release more books about the Abhorsen world, would have happily waited longer, and I’ve come to enjoy your world’s much more than his in the last few years. I’d rather wait years for the next installment than have you try to churn out something you aren’t feeling just yet, and I think most of us feel the same way. So, that being said, you take as much time as you need and as many breaks as you want.

My family thought I’d finally cracked, and then when I tried to explain it they knew for sure XD. I just about died laughing when you gave real meaning to the toads and snakes falling out of the girl’s mouth in your Evangelique series. Ma’am, may I just say that you are hands down one of my favorite authors, partially because I love your subject choices, but mostly because of the life you give to those subjects.
