And it’ll kill anyone who gets in its way...

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2021

I don't actually know how to rate this book. Let me just preface this by saying that I actualy preordered it as soon as it was possible. On one hand it is really well written and the plot is solid, but at the end I found it frustrating. Although the actual plot and villain is different from the previous books it felt that I was reading again the same thing. The underlying story between Lizzie and Aidan is actually going so slowly with always the same things rehashed and the same non communication on both parts that I feel less and less interested in knowing what happens next to them as I feel that it will take them at least 5 other books to get really somewhere if they even get there. All in all I think I am disappointed as I feel that the serie could definitely have been shorter. I might buy the next one to see if the pace picks up otherwise I think I'll be done with this serie.

Love the series, but..........

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2021

This has been one of my favorite series, but this is not one of her best books. It was slow, and pretty boring in places-- with less action than normal. The case they were working on was long and drawn out, except for the deaths, which were many. The ending was not satisfying, and left a lot of unanswered questions. I don't mind a cliff hanger, but there were too many threads left hanging.

Also, Lizzie seems to be drinking more than normal, she is still keeping secrets from Aidan and she is still putting her life on the line-- with no care for her own survival. She needs to grow up, and be aware of how much her actions affect the people who love her. I hope that happens in the next book. I still love this series.

Best Yet In Series

I think this is Ms Arthur's best series to date and that's saying something considering what's come before. Her continual growth as a writer shows spectacularly. If you're on the fence about this, know that character growth here is amazing and the world here is also developed more. The problem they face would have made for a great book even in lesser hands but with Ms Arthur writing it, it is very very cool to read about!

Seventh in the Lizzie Grace urban fantasy series and revolving around Lizzie Grace, a witch on the run. It's set in Castle Rock, Australia, near a werewolf reservation.

My Take
Oooh, Belle is dating Monty! Hmmm . . .

Arthur is using first person protagonist point-of-view from Lizzie's perspective, so we experience all of her thoughts, emotions, and actions, including that the wild magic may be eating Lizzie up. It certainly does create a certain tension, which Arthur could do with ratcheting up. I do wish she provided more dialogue tags as well. It can be confusing as to who is speaking sometimes.

Lizzie not being a werewolf creates all sorts of problems for Aiden, including a number of social ones. Whoa, I knew Aiden's mom was a nasty person, but she really takes it to extremes. Luckily Katie has a way to let Mum know. As for Lizzie's father, oy, that man never learns.

Whoa. Again. Lizzie's mother actually thanked Ava Sarr. A Sarr!

Not to worry, though, there's plenty of conflict besides Lizzie's with her family and the investigation into what happened to Clayton. Something is murdering random people, and someone is after Belle's stash of books.

It's a character-driven plot with plenty of action with a pace that kept me on the move.

And Lizzie gets yet another job!

The Story
Her husband might be dead, but her problems are far from over . . .

Lizzie Grace had hoped that Clayton’s death would bring some normality back into her life. But not only does her father remain intent on interfering now that he knows she can manipulate wild magic, but the High Witch Council has sent in an investigator to uncover her part in Clayton’s murder.

But a bigger threat has arrived on the reservation.

One that wears flesh and blood, and is intent on revenge.

The Characters
Lizzie Grace, a witch who's been in hiding for 13 years, has been hit by wild magic, a.k.a. earth magic, which has triggered changes in her own magic. And Lizzie has just moved into Aiden's apartment in Argyle. Belle Sarr Kent is her partner, best friend, and familiar. Belle inherited all of her grandmother, Nell's, library. Ava Sarr is Belle's very supportive mom. She and her husband, Belle's dad, are in charge of the Psychic Advisory Commission. Belle's sister, Alison, married Dylan Fitzgerald, and they have a baby, nine-month-old Beth, and three-year-old Eddie. Belle's brother, Josh, is a very strong telepath with a secondary strength in energy medicine.

The Psychic Cafe is . . .
. . . Lizzie and Belle's successful business in Castle Rock. Penny and her niece, Celia, are waitresses.

Monty Ashworth, a great dancer, is the reservation witch and her cousin. Eamon is his possessed orange menace of a cat. The grandfatherly Ashworth is also a witch and the representative for the Regional Witch Association (RWA). Eli is Ashworth's husband, a retired RWA witch.

The Faelan Reservation is . . .
. . . a werewolf reservation. Patrick Sinclair is a friend of Aiden's. John had known Patrick. Jackson Pike is/was a gold miner. Myra handled the birthday party arrangements.

Harry is the owner and manager of Castle Rock Ultimate Storage. Mrs Sanders calls about a monster. Maelle is the only vampire in Castle Rock and runs, or ran, a nightclub, Émigré. Roger is her thrall. Both are still missing. Joe works the desk at the fitness center. Jenny Brown, Derry, Morris, and Dorothy were more victims. Mrs Grantham, a magician, is another victim. Leesa Rhineheart, a human, had been bullied at school. Honor Rhineheart is Leesa's daughter.

A witch has a shop, Pot of Magic, in Woodend. Professor Janice Hopetown works for the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Sydney University. Butterworth's makes humbug candies. Ingrid Butterworth and her son still live on site.

The Rangers are . . .
. . . werewolves and the police force for the reservation and the surrounding area. Aiden O'Connor is the head ranger and has been dating Lizzie for several months. Tara Sinclair (she has five teenage brothers) is his second-in-command. Maggie is the office receptionist and a ranger-in-training. More rangers include Mac, Jaz Marin, and Duke. Ciara O'Connor, Aiden's sister, is the coroner. Luke is Ciara's assistant. Betty is the receptionist at the morgue. Jack Martin was helping to search.

Katie had been Aiden's younger sister, "killed" when her witch husband, Gabe, used a spell to bind her soul to an "unknown" wellspring. A spell that pulled him in as well. Aiden's control freak mother, Karleen, is the pack alpha, as is her husband, Joseph. Fawn is staying at the O'Connor compound.

Canberra, Australia
Samuel Kang is a full-blood witch and the High Council's chief investigator. He has a younger sister who had also been in an arranged marriage; she has a sixteen-year-old son. Belle has bad memories of Tommy Kang from school. Most of the Kang family are prominent lawyers. Lizzie's detached parents, Lawrence and Eleanor Marlowe, are members of the ruling High Council. Lizzie's siblings are Cat, whose death their parents blamed on Lizzie, and Juli.

Clayton Moore, Lizzie's husband, had been responsible for an explosion at Émigré and the kidnap and torture of Belle ( Deadly Vows , 6). Henry James is a retired dark sorcerer. Blackwing might be a witch's psych hospital.

The Black Lantern Society is . . .
. . . a group of witches, werewolves, and vampire who work behind the scenes to right wrongs and bring justice. Samuel Kang's brother is second in charge.

There are three levels of apparitions: souls, ghosts, and specters. Kash is a former boyfriend of Belle's with an abnormal interest in her grandmother's books. Roland Waverly is a friend of Kash's. Black Arts is selling e-copies. Mia Raines had tried to cheat Aiden in marriage. The Thaumaturge Society should be able to track the cheek tattoo.

The Cover and Title
The cover is primarily browns with the bottom half a deep brown and bare trees rising up to frame Lizzie who's facing us and wearing a gray knit stocking cap, her crimson hair floating around her shoulders. She's also wearing a gray sweater over a white turtleneck and black pants with black gloves, holding a book of magic with gold and white spirals swirling up from its open pages. The whiteness of the magic frames Lizzie in a soft glow. The author's name is in white at the top. The title, also in white, starts mid-thigh on Lizzie. At the very bottom is the series info in a pinkish orange.

The title is an unhappy one, for Magic Misled is what occurred. All due to bullying.

Love Lizzie Grace!

Another awesome Lizzie Grace story that I read too fast and now I have to wait sooo long for the next one. This time Lizzie and Aiden are looking for a murderer that is out for revenge and defies description. They don’t know if it’s paranormal, human, wolf, or a combination, but whatever it is, they need to figure out a way to stop it before more lives are lost. One bright spot in all of this is a visit from someone both Belle and Lizzie adore, which is one benefit of being rid of “husband” Clayton. If only she could be rid of her father and his machinations as well. And Monty is slowly winning over Belle, much to Lizzie’s delight. I’m enjoying this series so much, and I look forward to seeing what happens next for Lizzie and friends.

Enjoyable series

I've enjoyed the suthor's depiction of an alternative Australia where people fear what goes bump in the night rather than the pandemic we are currently facing.
Her characters are real and flawed and it makes the reader want to partake of tea and cake at the cafe.

Unlike many authors who's paranormal characters are a world apart , the author weaves the paranormal elements into the worldview until they become instrinicly believable.

I was sad to read the foreshadowing of sorrow and the end of her relationship with the ranger, but overjoyed at the long delayed reunion and the familiar's denial at having met her own match in cousin Monty.

Looking forward to the next book in the series.

The Price of Magic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2021

I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

Lizzie is now living with Aidan, despite knowing there is a time limit on their relationship. She is trying to live in the moment and relish every day they have together making happy memories. It’s not perfect, but it’s good. His mother, however, is causing problems and doesn’t want Lizzie to attend Aiden’s 30th birthday party as another way to force a wedge between them.

The Witch Council has sent someone to investigate the death of her ‘husband’, Clayton and they’ve sent someone who is very attractive who is also interested in Lizzie, but is he interested for her own sake, or what she might bright bring magically and politically to a relationship.

Into the Reservation comes a darkness that is impossible to categorise because it defies nature. It is filled with rage and vengeance, seeking only to slaughter, leading Lizzie into dangerous situations as she tries to stop the violence.

One of the things I like most about this book is that Lizzie really struggles as she tries to protect herself and people she loves. She doesn’t have a perfect grasp on her magic. She’s never been an all powerful witch. She’s always struggled magically and just because she has access to Wild Magic hasn’t changed that, because she still hasn’t had much training. We see in this book that she has to pay a steep price for using the Wild Magic and she has to weigh up whether it’s worth it or not.

I like it when there are limits to powers in my Urban Fantasy books. I don’t want the main character to just keep powering up and up in order to face of bigger monsters. I want them to have to work better, learn more and get help from experts. If they do power up, I want them to have to face the consequences of doing so.

This book was mainly focused on Lizzie’s magic and the darkness they faced. There wasn’t a huge amount of focus on her relationship with Aiden. I liked that there was more focus on Belle’s relationship with Monty, even if it was just observed by Lizzie.

Belle and Lizzie’s relationship is one of the best things about this series. No matter what else happens they are the best of friends. They are sisters of the soul rather than blood and they always try to put each other first. Their support for each other is a really lovely part of these books.

I get the feeling that the next book will have a lot more about Lizzie and Aiden’s relationship judging by some of the hints dropped in this book and also the blurb for the next book. I know it’s going to be ages until the next book comes out, but that just means I’ll have the opportunity for a re-read before it’s release.

What is even better is that the next is available for pre-order as of I don't miss it's release. This was quite a self contained book that is leading up to whether Lizzie will keep her man or whether Aidan will revert to typical wolf norms. Still not sure how that will go. This was a nice little mystery with the shadow of Lizzie's family still there. Not quite sure whether Sam will be a further feature. Eve and Monty are cute. It felt a bit like a bridging book good but not as fraught as previous books. Good but not awesome.

As always Keri Arthur has produce an action packed magical adventure filled with new baddies and new drama. Leaving all of us readers craving the next book. The dynamics between all the characters are fun and entertaining. A reader can't help fall in love with them. They all give life and body to the story. The beautiful out back of Australia (well stormy and rain) has always been easy to imagine with her description. A fun and exhilarating experience reading this book. Highly recommended to all

This was a bit of a nothing instalment. Another deadly foe, posturing from the boyfriends mother, a bit of weirdness in the wild magic, apart from that nothing much happens. No forward movement with Lizzie's family, or her relationship with Aidan. This felt like a money-spinning filler, and much as I have enjoyed the series to date, I am not sure I'll continue with it.
