Book Review: Soul Spell by Skyla Dawn Cameron

Soul Spell (Elis O'Connor)Soul Spell by Skyla Dawn Cameron
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There's so much more going on here! I didn't want to put the book down. I wanted to lock myself in a room and read straight through. The storyline with Elis being framed...to find Melinoe to help find Dev... I wanted it all! NOW!

I loved this book and could NOT wait to get to read it each evening.

There's someone out to pin murders on Elis. Of course these are not ones Elis committed and she's not that sloppy. So Elis is on the case to find who's committing these murders, and she's determined to clear her name. All while looking for her brother...

What really caught my attention, and pulled at my heart, is seeing Elis's father in action and getting out to help. Nate. *sigh* I've always been a fan of Nate's since the original series, Demon's of Oblivion. (Totally worth a read!)

I was happy to see Nate getting brought into the events as he has lots to offer in knowledge and connections. And to see him be Dad is pretty cool. I know Elis is always worried about telling him about Dev or bringing him into the group to search for his son, but he's great.

This book brings Melinoe back into the action as well. Oh the things she's going through. I love seeing Elis grow and be an honest person as she admits when she's made an error in judgement. Great seeing characters grow.

Now, to read the next book! Can't wait for it to come out!

Book Review: Witch Hunt by Skyla Dawn Cameron

Witch Hunt (Elis O'Connor)Witch Hunt by Skyla Dawn Cameron
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elis is a determined young lady.

This book is just what the title says. Elis is on the search for her brother and hoping his last girlfriend would have some helpful details. In looking for her, Elis stumbles into a a Witch Hunt. The thing is, those doing the hunting don't know who they're picking up . Elis isn't a witch to run from the, but turn and fight. And she has no qualms about killing those that are trying to do the killing.

I love seeing Elis turn the tables in this book. And I absolutely loved reading her memories with her mom, my V-BFF Zara Lain. Seeing these memories shares details of what happened to Zara and brings her back to life a little for us. It's great to see Elis and her relationship with her mom.

There are tidbits that reference back to the original series, Demons of Oblivion. I love seeing these little things. It ties the world together and explains what has happened.

I enjoy the writing in these books. There's a dry humor and the characters unique personality shines.
