From the Author

This series begins one year after the end of How to Wake an Undead City. If you're a real stickler, the chronological order for reading these connected series is as follows:

The Beginner's Guide to Necromancy
The Potentate of Atlanta
The Beginner's Guide to Necromancy: The Epilogues

But you'll be fine rolling straight into The Epilogues after finishing The Beginner's Guide to Necromancy series.

USA Today best-selling author Hailey Edwards writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.

Another amazing book!

Hadley is the character everyone WANTS to hate, lives to hate even. Yet she’s also the character that a reader can most sympathize with and therefore cheer for. Add Midas into the mix and you’re left panting for more, literally! I love the give and take they share together trying to dig out a new life they never really anticipated while also dealing with the teenager hormonal equivalent 😂 of love. The storyline is a great second helping of the world in Atlanta and I can’t wait to see where it progresses! Ford better find his happily ever after as well or I will. D extremely sad

I may like The Potentate of Atlanta books more than The Beginner’s Guide to Necromancy - which is saying quite a lot since I not only gleefully devoured those books as fast as I could read them when they were released, but have reread the series probably a dozen times by now. It worries me that I like these characters so well, but the underlying theme of second chances and redemption is compelling. In fact, one of the things I struggled with in Ms. Edwards’s other series is that so many of the female protagonists are pile-ons, which is to say that they start out as relatively normal women and by the end of the series they transform into magical/miracle queens/goddesses/whathaveyous.

Hadley exists because of the mistakes she made. It’s a deeper truth that is fairly universal - don’t most people make mistakes? Hadley’s mistakes were catastrophic. They were mistakes that hurt not only her, but everyone else in her life. These books are about her learning to live with those mistakes and the consequences of her actions. It’s a story of redemption, rehabilitation, and reintegration. She is trying, slowly and painfully, to build a new life on the ashes of her old life. It’s a laborious process and she is painfully aware of the road that she left to take this new road.

The mystery of Midas, Bishop, Remy, and coven of witchborn fae is coming along neatly. I very much want to stay in the world that Edwards is building and learn more about these characters. I’m curious if Edwards is going to revisit the fae realm that she established in earlier books or how she is going to bring the fae element further into the story as it unfolds. I feel like this book is a worthy continuation of the previous novel and waiting for the next book is likely to be as frustrating as the wait for this one. I confess, I was not looking forward to waiting another 5 months for the 2nd book in the series and am delighted that it was released early. Fingers-crossed for book 3.

The only downside is that this book does, however, make me even more sad about the recent TBTGN novella about Grier’s wedding. It doesn’t fit into the timeline of the POA books, at all.

Second in the series does not disappoint!

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020

I love how Hailey Edward's books all have a life and character to them that is rich and so incredibly well-crafted. This book is no different.

Hadley was the kind of character in the other series she appeared in that I wanted to hear more of, so when the POA series was announced, I anxiously waited on a release date. Book one did not disappoint, and book two took it one step further. I'm now fully immersed in this world and am anxiously awaiting the third in the series. And much like the TBGTN books, I don't doubt I will be craving as many of these stories as Ms. Edwards will write. These are the kind of characters you think about after you're done reading, who hold on and don't let go.

Trust me, if you're wondering if you should pick up the second in this series, my only recommendation would be to do it when you have time to get sucked in completely!!

Love Hadley & Midas

I’m really enjoying this spinoff series, and it’s getting easier to like Hadley the more I see her in action. Her relationship with Midas is evolving and she’s building loyalties and making friends that will stand her in good stead when she finishes her apprenticeship and becomes the Potentate of Atlanta. There are lots of secrets on both Midas and Hadley’s parts, and it will be interesting to see how much they are able to reveal and how perhaps learning of some secrets might change how they feel about each other. There were some tense moments in this one and it built up to the next book, clearly outlining the next mission to come, and I’m dying to find out how it all turns out.

This is a good 2nd book to the series. I really enjoying watching Midas & Hadley’s relationship blossom. They are learning to gust each other more and I look forward to when they share their secrets with each other. The plot took an interesting turn and I enjoyed it. There’s was a bit more funny moments and low on angst. Good action n the book interspersed with good dialogue. I series and am on to the 3rd one now.

I love these books! I started with Grier and Linus' story and I loved them and didn't think I would like this series because of all Amelie did to Grier but I love this story even more! Hailey Edwards is a fantastic writer she makes you root for the characters and makes you feel like you know them. I can't wait to keep reading all of her series.
I would recommend these books for anyone who loves adventure, some romance and hilarious one liners. I can't wait to see what happens next!

It’s just so good!

Loved it. Why did it have to end! I get so excited when Hailey releases a new book and consume it like an addict, now withdrawal kicks in. I love the dialogue between characters, they’re spunky yet mature. I don’t like it when other authors have a character stick their tongue out at someone to be silly, that’s weird, doesn’t feel authentic. Dialogue attempting to be playful ends up childish, Hailey’s characters are who other authors try to create. Sassy, strong, loyal, smart, compassionate, they’re just awesome people I love to read about.

Interesting

A continuation of the series. The characters are reasonably well developed. The story line is well thought out. It's well written and edited.

Being quite jaded for the most part, just sitting down and reading any book from start to finish is praise indeed.

Why not 5 stars?

Good question!

Without being absolutely certain I get the impression that there are enough already completed in this series for me to get my fill without having to wait for further publications. For that reason they don't get the read a second time treatment and, consequently, can't prove themselves worthy of that elusive 5th star. Life is so unfair.

Enjoy.

Awesome with a cherry on top

I have to hang my head in shame and say that I was in the camp in the beginning that did not want to read about Amelia/Hadley all that much. However knowing what a wonderful writer Hailey Edwards is, I picked up the first POA book and loved it beyond anything I imagined. Pack of Lies cemented that and made my love grow stronger! Hadley is utterly awesome, so terribly broken, so much more than we ever knew in the Necromancer books. How she picks herself up, goes, moves on, makes relationships work and is still learning about her magic is a riveting read and I can't wait for more. I so hope that these books keep going as I could read about hadley, her gang and Atlanta endlessly.

Hadley is brilliant!

I absolutely love the Potentate of Atlanta series - Hailey Edwards has outdone herself with this one.

Hadley is such a wonderfully complex, flawed and yet utterly likeable character. You can't help falling in love with and rooting for her.

I devoured this book in one sitting - can't wait for the next one. More, please!
