It looks amazing! It has been added to my tbr list! <br /><br />Just an FYI, <a href="http://www.heavenlyhostbooks.com/Heavenly_Host/About_the_Author.html" rel="nofollow"> Cheryl Dellasega </a> has come out with a new series titled, "The Heavenly Host." I just read the first book, "The Testings of Devotion" and was blown away! I found the book to be rare in the sense that it brings to life the 'good' angels. Of course it wouldn't make sense if the book did not point out the fallen angels that serve Lucifer, but the focus is on the never ending duties of the angels that serve the Almighty One in heaven. Pretty great book!Beckyhttp://www.twitter.com/beckybooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-9573213005599865802010-07-01T20:14:04.668-04:002010-07-01T20:14:04.668-04:00Angie - Oh yes, there was no way I could start ano...Angie - Oh yes, there was no way I could start another book! I actually downloaded the sample of <i>Magic Bleeds</i> to read on the bus on the way back, but it only went partway through chapter 2. Since I wanted the paper copy to go with my other three books, I didn't want to spend money on the rest, though, and forced myself to wait for a trip to the bookstore (it was tough).<br /><br />The end was awesome, just like it was in <i>Magic Strikes</i>! I loved Kate's little speech at the meeting. Cannot WAIT for book 5!!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-83134173639414916892010-07-01T16:23:52.165-04:002010-07-01T16:23:52.165-04:00Oh man. I don't blame you at all. If I'd j...Oh man. I don't blame you at all. If I'd just finished MAGIC STRIKES, no book in the world could have kept me from continuing right on to MAGIC BLEEDS. So glad it came through for you. I can't tell you how awesome I thought it was that in the end it was Kate protecting him. From the freaking pack! I mean, talk about perfect. <br /><br />This review was awesome. :)Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-44282070060802077312010-06-29T23:41:07.172-04:002010-06-29T23:41:07.172-04:00Orannia - Thank you!

I am glad to see there are 7 books contracted, but I keep wondering if that means there is a possibility for more than 7 books.<br /><br />The first two chapters of book 5 were up on the blog, but they are down now!!! I missed it. :(<br /><br />The humor is fantastic and I do love all the characters - like you said they are very 3D and as Angie said in her review they all make sense and act in character. Kate does work - she becomes more sympathetic with each book and she also develops in each of them. And I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.<br /><br />There was less Derek in this one, wasn't there? I'm just happy if there is Saiman, and I can't complain about his role in this one.<br /><br />I really like Andrea and how her friendship with Kate has grown too... and I had to laugh at the situation Kate had to rescue her from.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700004253248186101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146259764837045872.post-4036417111711480332010-06-29T23:17:54.406-04:002010-06-29T23:17:54.406-04:00Great review Kristen! *SIGH* I just love this seri...Great review Kristen! *SIGH* I just love this series. I love the humour, the characters feel very 3D...and Kate works for me (and so many urban fantasy heroines don't). I wasn't so sure about the relationship side of things, but that works too. My only complaint - not enough Derek!<br /><br />I so want to see where the author takes the story now :) Do we have a publication date for the next book?<br /><br />*checks*<br /><br />No date but there are seven books in the series...so, three to go! *grin*oranniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007355589161084262noreply@blogger.com
