Customer Reviews

I can't believe I paid $7.99 for this book!
As others have already mentioned, within the first 30 pages or so I got lost in all of the characters that were being introduced. Here are my issues with this book.
1. Too many characters.
2. Too much handed to you via first person narration.
3. Two possible love interests? Enough already! Is this even necessary?
4. Level of the plot is YA!

I'm not sure how anyone rated this anything above three stars! I will not be reading the sequel. The only reason I finished reading this title is that I lived in hope that at some point the author would redeem herself. Unfortunately, the only way I was able to get through the entire book was by reading every other page and then simply skimming the pages that I actually stopped on.

An interesting, fast-paced novel
This novel, though considered urban fantasy, is actually set in it's own world. I think the handsome goblin idea -though a more interesting take- did not work for me.
Now here are the Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Intriguing bad guy (you never really know where it's at),strong heroine, edge-of-your-seat love triangle, Mychael, Phaelan, and Raine's witty comments.
Cons:
Tam, the Sarad Nukpana is so sexy thing, Talon, the way Raine does indeed get out of every situation unharmed, and the lack of descriptions on clothes and meals.

Buton the whole I had to give it 5 stars because the pros way outnumber the cons (in importance)

A good Saturday Afternoon Read
It was no surprise to read a review on Lisa Sharin's website comparing her to Janet Evanevich. I had the same thought reading her first novel. The begining of the novel has pooor editing. There were too many dublicate statements. How many times do you need to be told that her cousin is a smuggler? I got the hint the first time, the twelveth was just annoying. But despite it's rough writing you could see the author's potential.The second half of the book that potential shined through. You could escape into the story. Writing is at it's finest when you don't think of it at all. If you are looking for a unique fantasy read for a lazy afternoon then I would deffinatly recommend you try out Magic Lost, Trouble Found - the first in what proves to be a captavating series.
