Thank You KMM for Every Fabulous Word Of This Story.

Many other reviewers have discussed the plot and  storyline, so I'm only talking about my feelings about the wrap-up story of this thrilling end to a series..
I usually do not read urban fantasy, so for me to absolutely love this series was a surprise, but I had faith in this author, so I started this series with some trepidation, but ended absolutely loving the entire plot line, characters (and boy were some of them characters! Yikes!) and this series.
Author Karen Marie Moning has a magic touch with every story she's written, and this series did not disappoint due in part to KMM's magic touch, and just plain magic  embedded within each character, and indeed, the new world that she created. I loved the story, the plot kept me up at night reading, and I did not regret being tired the next day.
I highly recommend this group of books to anyone who enjoys fantasy with a dark bent, and anyone who wishes to add a bit of magic to their lives.
The twist and turns never fail to amaze, and my only concern for new readers is be sure to have access to the entire series because when you finish one book, you will want to immediately start on the next.
Each book was a 5 star read because I could not give anything higher..Enjoy, and let me know what you think! Hugs....Susiq2

K.J. Charles does it again with another fabulous, exciting, endlessly entertaining story. I know I can always count on her to deliver when I need her most!

I wholeheartedly recommend this book with a few minor caveats. First of all, I think all prospective readers of this story should start with A Queer Trade, the prequel novella. I think it gives background information that is really necessary to understand the main characters and the dynamic of the relationship between Crispin and Ned. Secondly, you should NOT jump into this series without first reading The Magpie Lord. It's best if you read the entire Magpie Lord series before you start this one. There is so much information there about the magical world in which these books are set that I think you are operating at a deficit if you start your The World of A Charm of Magpies journey here.

Now that that background stuff is out of the way I can get to the story. Rag and Bone was so on point. To start, I don't think I've ever read a historical romance where the main MCs are in an interracial relationship, much less a M/M historical with one (shout out to Courtney Milan for The Heiress Effect where the side characters have an interracial romance). Combine that with some really fascinating and well-crafted magical world-building and tons of intense action, and you've got yourself a winner.

I adore how K.J. Charles envisions her Magpie world and the amount of thought she takes with her storytelling. Her characters' magical practices make sense in that brilliant way that so few authors are able to pull off. I loved Crispin's unique strain of magic and the pressure that that put on him. It was a case of really masterful writing.

Though I wasn't quite up to the same level of emotional investment with Crispin and Ned as some of the other K.J. Charles pairings, I think that I could grow to be obsessed with them as a couple too. There was something special forming there, and I have extremely high hopes for this offshoot series.

This story is amazing...and that word is still too inadequate to describe this book. Kennedy Ryan is a brilliant and talented author. She weaves a story that doesn't shy away from controversial  topics. She uses the controversies to connect Grip and Bris in a way that leaves you mesmerized. I couldn't stop reading and feeling the emotions portrayed. This a must read period!

And then there was the poetry! I'm in love with the spoken word again

Wow. What a great piece of fiction. Relevant, important. You get a good sense of the story from the blurb. Amy has Cerebral Palsy, Matthew has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but the beauty of this story is in the nuances of emotion, in the tiny victories and the heartache of first love. Basically, I loved everything about this story. I celebrated every milestone with Amy, I felt every panic attack with Matthew. The author did such a fantastic job creating a believable story centered around two unique characters. I never wanted it to end, so much so that I read it cover to cover. Even the secondary characters felt rounded and essential, with their own hopes and fears. I loved Matthew, with his idiosyncrasies and OCD habits, he tapped his way right into my heart. And Amy? So smart, so braveI found myself rooting for her from the start. The way their story unfolds is heartbreaking and heartwarming. Triumphant. Love, love, loved it.

This story has it all and you don't want to miss it! I will be picking up more books by Cammie McGovern!

There are so many things to say about this heart warming story.  It made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me feel warm all over.

I wish I had the ability to put into words, how cute, sweet, heartfelt and so many other words that I can't even think of, this wonderful story is. I loved every character in this book. I loved Jake and his longtime crush he had on Gillian, and I loved Gillian and how wonderful of a wife, mother, friend and everything else she is.  I loved each one of her kids, her BFF, and all the other characters. I even really did like the ex-husband. Even though he obviously couldn't keep it in his pants, on many occasions over the years, I could really feel his remorse, his heartache and his loss after his breakup with his wife.  Everything about this story just felt right, and I can't wait for the next book in the series because I know it's going to be just as touching.

Quite possibly the best book I've read all year. There was never a dull moment. Every word mattered. Every. Single. Word. K.M. Weiland is a master storyteller, and I was hooked throughout the entire tale. Now I need to read the rest of her books. Immediately. And you need to read Storming. Why are you still reading this review? Go buy it!!! :)

I was hooked at the first book.  There has only been one other writer that brought me to tears through their story.  Kings Fountain is hands down a fabulous story.  Hundreds of readers have stated the same and I now add my voice to the chorus.  Excellent story.  Thank you!!!

The story is Awesome by all meaning of the word. The author is fabulous in her writing and making these characters seem real and fun. So in this readers opinion just get this book..
Take the journey and enjoy it just as I did and so many others have.
The authors note at the end was also the most touching message I have read in a long time. Kudos to her.
Enjoy

Okay, I'll admit it.  I'm in love with Kelly Favor.  I love how she can write a story and just transport you into the lives of the characters she creates.  I love how every story she pens is different but equal in their sensuality and excitement.  "Obscene" was a riveting story of a troubled young man saved by the love of a good, kind hearted young lady.  Each of us deserve the type of love depicted in this story.  Thank you again, Kelly Favor.

It so fittingly applies to this story. I would not change a thing about it. The author's inspiration creates a beautiful, honest, hilarious, and absolutely enjoyable story.  Thank you Katherine Ashe.

First I'd like to say thank you to Kelly Elliott for giving all us readers a series that makes us smile, laugh, and cry . I was afraid at some point I would cry more than others and didn't look forward to a certain couples story conclusion. I was pleasantly reading and didn't find any disappointment in the words in the story. I'm going to miss waiting for the next book and the next love story from this adorable family . Please always give us more . Thank you!

I love reading your reviews, never a bad word about a Harper Bliss story nor should there be. Thank you for pouring your heart and soul into your writing. Thank you for tackling the tough issues with the care and compassion of someone who knows. Thank you for always knowing how to make me laugh and cry *tear*. But most of all thank you for being an amazing person. It was an honour and privilege to meet you and your beautiful partner on your recent trip to Australia. It makes reading these books even more special as i now know they come from an amazing mind and soul!

Ms Marie has done it again by bringing a story to live that had me reading it from cover to back without being able to put it down. Diego and Em are genuine. I felt like I was with them experiencing every triumph and every set back. I felt Em's anguish and set backs. I would absolutely hold on to someone like Diego and never let him go.

Bravo Ms. Marie. I am so so glad I took the opportunity this past October in Nashville to meet and buy your entire set in paperback. Now these treasures on my shelf are even more valuable to me as I am getting to know what they hold.

This is Pam da Wife buying under hubby' s account. This was one of the most beautiful love stories I have read in the last year. The characters are complex, noble.  They see one another clearly and accept the whole person. The adventure was thrilling as we have come to expect. There was a ton of action and intrigue. The enemy was really and truly evil.  I would so like to find out what becomes of George, Jack and Sophie. I hope this saga continues. I enjoyed this enormously. It was such a complete pleasure to sink into the world of the Weird and the Edge.  It allowed me a respite from some sad had developments in my real life. Bravo!
