There are books that are highly rated where I wonder how that many people could like them, but not these. Alice Winters does neither of those things, yet she draws you in for a thumpin’ good story. Still others develop a character fully, only to kill them off for shock value.
(I am made sad because the book is finished, not because the ending is sad.) There are authors who simply tell you what a person is like, because you cannot tell anything about who they are from their words or actions. I will happily skip a few brief scenes that make me uncomfortable to get the luscious diversion that allows me to keep going on tedious tasks while the time just flies by, even if it means I am greatly saddened when it is over. Oh, yes, sex, too, although I am so old that I am too embarrassed to do anything but keep repeating, “Alexa, skip two minutes,” until it is past.
With Alice Winters, you know what you are getting: Humor, likeable characters with actual character development, plot twists, stories that keep you listening far longer than you should, happy endings, romance, and great narrators. Contains a powerful mage who just wants to be left in peace, a mysterious curly-haired troublemaker, gargoyles that are literally dumber than stone, a river trip that doesn’t feel at all like a vacation, and a “cat” with some unusual features and deadly claws. For the first time in 300 years, I’m finally with the person meant for me, and I will do anything to keep from losing him.įamiliar Beginnings is a 63k word sequel to Happy Endings. It doesn’t hurt that there’s a sexy demon by my side every step of the way. Havoc and I, along with our unlikely band of.(I don’t want to say heroes, I can’t give them that much credit) annoyances will stop at nothing to end the destruction. But you can’t blame me the guy needed to die. Oh, and it might have something to do with the fact that I was also the one who originally killed him. And since I’m one of the strongest mages alive and am leading the resistance against him, he’s coming for me next. The dark mage Geoff is back from the dead and creating chaos by devouring the hearts of people with magical abilities, giving him overwhelming power as his followers grow.
Especially when disaster seems to follow me and my soulmate Havoc, a demon I bound to me 300 years ago with my magic. Smart men quit while they’re ahead - they lay low and hope disaster blows on by them.
