Description

Clio might be a nymph living in exile among humans. And she might possess the rare ability to mimic any magic she sees. And she might have just seriously ticked off the most powerful family of spell weavers in the Underworld. But she is not in love with an incubus. Lyre is the rebellious black sheep of said weaver family, and he's the only reason she survived her recent Underworld "vacation." He's also the sexiest thing she's ever seen. Together, they have to track down a catastrophically show more dangerous magic-a magic he created, she sort of stole, and they both lost-before his family gets their hands on it. And that means fighting alongside him in a desperate attempt to avert complete disaster. But she is definitely not in love with him. At least, she's pretty sure she's not. Mostly sure. Maybe sure?. . . Crap. show less

This is the second book in the Spell Weaver trilogy. I have been really enjoying this series. It is a fun and easy urban fantasy read. I enjoyed learning more about Lyre and Clio.

In this book Lyre and Clio have fled the Underworld and are looking for a safe haven as well as trying to figure out how to retrieve Lyre’s potentially world-ending KLOK device.

I loved getting to spend time in the Overworld, it was very magical. I also really enjoyed the chemistry between Lyre and Clio. The storyline here is pretty simple.

Marie’s strengths have always been writing amazing action scenes and having wonderful chemistry between her leads and that continues in this book. While these books aren’t masterpieces...they are quick fun reads that I show more always find very entertaining and enjoyable.

Overall this was another entertaining read by Marie and a great addition to this series. I really love the characters, the action, the spell weaving, and getting to journey to the Overworld. I would recommend this series to those who enjoy lighter urban fantasy reads.

The Shadow Weave picks up right where The Night Realm left off. We follows Clio and Lyre after they’ve escaped from Asphodel and are determined to get back Lyre’s KLOC spell before it can be used to destroy all of their worlds. I just have such a love for urban fantasy and this world that Annette Marie has crafted. I really liked that we got more of Clio’s background, learning more about her pre-Earth life. It really added some depth to her character. Like her other books, The Shadow Weave is not short on action. The fight scenes are engaging and intense and feel like there are stakes. Each fight is hard fought and has consequences. I also really enjoyed the Easter Eggs we get to the Steel & Stone series - I LOVED seeing show more a young Piper and seeing the River Sytx again. I did think that some of the scene transitions were a little jarring. They weren’t as fluid as I would have liked - there was a bunch of location changes or micro time jumps that felt distinct. Overall I had a really fun time with this book and I can’t wait to see how everything wraps up in The Blood Curse!

I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I'm enjoying this series. I will finish the trilogy. I enjoyed the first book more than this one but I'm hoping the last one pulls through.
