A Taste of Magic (Magic of the Damned, Book 3) - McKenzie Hunter

Devious deities, monstrous magicians and more than a sprinkling of spice. 

This is the final installment of this PNR series and it didn’t disappoint. If you like your paranormal romance with devious monsters and a dash of spice, then this is a series for you.

Our FMC, Luna, is in a sticky situation. She has no magic; it has been stolen by a powerful Dark Caster who would happily leave the supernatural world without magic. Everyone in the supernatural world blames her. Most of them would happily see her dead, including family members of the Prince of Darkness, who has claimed her as his own. 

Will she be able to reclaim her magic or is it gone forever? Can her relationship with the Prince survive? Can she, herself, survive?

I love the way this ended. It could have gone down a wholly predictable route but it didn’t. 

The reading order is as follows:

Book 1 : A Touch of Brimstone

Book 2 : A Hint of Darkness

Book 3 : A Taste of Magic

A Hint of Darkness (Magic of the Damned, Book 2) - McKenzie Hunter

Duplicitous gods and devious monsters. Surviving in the Underworld is Hellish. 

This is the second installment of McKenzie Hunter’s new Paranormal Romance series. The story is set primarily in the Underworld. Unusually for this author, there are several descriptive scenes of a sexual nature, which really enhance this story.

I have been eagerly waiting for this book and I was not disappointed. The characters are well thought out and well developed. The interaction is believable and the worldbuilding is excellent. McKenzie Hunter has created a well developed magical system and included a variety of supernatural species; some familiar and some less so.

Our FMC, Luna finds herself trapped in the Underworld alongside the Prince and a host of other supernatural and demonic beings. They all want out and to most of them, the only way to achieve this is through her death. There are only so many places to hide in the underworld; at least she seems to have the Prince on her side. His family however, not so much. 

Magic, politics, intrigue and betrayal abound. There are duplicitous gods, monsters who aren’t necessarily what they seem, and a fight for survival.

I raced through this book. I could not put it down. There is a big shiny hook at the end and I cannot wait for book three.

A Touch of Brimstone (Magic of the Damned, Book 1) : McKenzie Hunter

Magic, politics and some very devious characters. Is the Prince of the Underworld really the Good Guy? 

This book is the first in a new Paranormal Romance series from McKenzie Hunter. The book is set across both modern day USA and the Underworld. There is the potential for romance but there are no descriptive scenes of a sexual nature.

As with all McKenzie Hunter’s books, the characters are well thought out and well developed. The interaction is believable and the worldbuilding is excellent. She has created a well developed magical system and included a variety of supernatural species; some familiar and some less so.

The book’s main character is Luna, an unsuspecting human woman who is dragged unwittingly into the supernatural world, which comes as something of a surprise to her, as she’d previously been under the impression that witches, shifters and vampires were only found on the fiction shelves. Sadly for her, they are all real and the method in which she is drawn in has made her the target for several supernatural political groups, some of which want her dead. 

It’s coming to something when the only being who might be able to keep you alive just happens to be the seemingly all-powerful Prince of the Underworld. Luna is in a fight for her life and her only option is to help him but even that’s not guaranteed to keep her safe. 

This book has magic, politics, battles, deception and some very devious characters. Nothing is what it seems. Who is human? Who is Supernatural? Who are the good guys? It’s hard for Luna to tell. 

I was so wrapped up in this book that I couldn’t put it down and ended up reading until well into the early hours of the morning. I have been eagerly waiting for this book all year and I was not disappointed. I’m very much looking forward to book two.
