This is one of those series that has me biting my nails in anticipation of the next book. Waiting not so patiently and shifting from foot to foot for my next hit. Who would’ve thought this is where I’d be today and how I would feel.Ms. Kane is one of the very few authors that can make me feel a myriad of emotions, all in one book. Sacrificial Magic is no different.
From the amazing writing, to the non stop story and characters that have stolen my heart. Sacrificial Magic will take you on such a ride, I really didn’t want it to end. THAT I CAN GUARANTEE!
This book made me angry, sad, scared, turned on, rabidly pissed off, brought tears to my eyes and put a smile on my face. At times I was literally sick to my stomach, watching the train wreck unfolding; other times I couldn’t help but cry at things that just broke my heart. But the whole time I couldn’t help but put the whole world around me on hold because I couldn’t put this down!
Downside is not a world I would like to be caught in. It’s a scary place. And when Chess is assigned a Church job in Slobag’s part of town to debunk a school that’s alleging a haunting; things can get bad. Right from the get-go.
I don’t want to ruin the story and tell you what happens, but expect to find dead bodies, evil humans, evil ghosts and some pissed off drug lords. Chess as usual is in the middle, and while she tries to do her job and she tries to help Bump, what she’s really trying to come to terms with is the fact that she is in a relationship with Terrible. And she’s never been in a relationship. To the point that she fucks up plenty, again.
Don’t take this from me, because I am in love and love is blind and all, but Terrible is the perfect man. The way he loves Chess, so deep, it comes through in his acceptance of her. It’s raw and powerful.
This series is a MUST READ!!! One of my favorite series, and Sacrificial Magic might be my favorite yet! Definitely unputdownable, and mind-blowingly amazing! Yes, I have to make up words to tell you how I feel about it.
I am preparing myself for the changes Chasing Magic will bring. It’s going to be a lot more intense now that the stakes have been raised!
And these are some of the quotes that had my heart speeding, tripping and skipping:
“The sound of the exit door slamming back into its frame hit her ears at the same time his body slammed her against the back wall, farther into the shadows where no one could see him kiss her long and hard.”
“My place is closer.” “Aye.” He leaned in to bite her neck; she shivered. “But mine’s got thicker walls, dig, an I plan on makin you scream a few times afore we get to sleeping.”
“I chose you,” she managed, choking out the words in a strangled, warbly sounding whisper. “I chose you, I chose you all but I chose you, I love you so much and I chose you-”
“I want to be with you and if you weren’t there I wouldn’t want to be. I chose you”
“You got that, aye? Ain’t you know it? Love you right, till it hurts. Ain’t goin nowhere, don’t need to cry, ’sall right up—”
