Isn't that a funny thing in life, once your told that you aren't allowed to have something. You become more determined to get it? Even if you, in reality have realized that you can live without it. The actual pursuit of obtaining it and the effort you put into getting it, will be your driving force.

If shamans can heal and drugs can convey them into mystical realms, why shouldn’t video technology do the same? This premise underlies M. Terry Green’s Shaman series, making Livvy Lawson’s healing journeys seem very immediate and real. But what of the warnings, the things a shaman shouldn’t do? Wounds in the past can hurt a shaman as surely as they can the rest of us, and Livvy’s hurts might lead her in dangerous directions in this second novel.

Article first published as Book Review:Shaman, Friend, Enemy by M. Terry Green on Blogcritics.
Sometimes our past dictates what we become, some grow stronger; others will often allow that darkness or secret to dictate the direction of their entire being. Only strength will determine how we decide where to turn. That strength comes from acknowledging that secret and bringing it into the light, no longer allowing it to hold you hostage to the pain.

Los Angeles is changing. Techno-shaman Livvy Lawson—who's one of the most highly coveted shamans in the area, thanks to a recent triumph in the multiverse, as well as its exposure—can feel it prickling in her skin. It's not just her career dynamic; there seems to be some other shamanic influx disrupting the natural flow of her work, too. Only when she notices a devastating pattern among her clients, and when shamans begin appearing in her middleworld, does she figure out there's someone out ther...more
This is the second book in the Techno Shaman series and it doesn't disappoint. Olivia (Livvy) Lawson is now the most famous shaman in Los Angeles--she's the lightening shaman. Along with a fellow shaman and friend, Min, and her dwarf intercessor, SK, many are clamoring for her services--to heal their fractured souls, to cast out evil ancestor spirits or to save them from themselves. The paparazzi follow her wherever she goes, but Livvy finds it hard to enjoy her new found success. She is harbori...more

A sure sign of a really good book is when you forget that you are reading. You get so wrapped up in what's happening that there ceases to be words on a page; and you're just inside the story. That's how I felt reading this book.
The story picks up several months after the events of Shaman, Healer, Heretic. Livvie is still working as a shaman, but her life has changed drastically. Gone are her days of poverty and derision. Her bravery and her special abilities have made her famous and put...more

Livvy has become a well known shaman in this book and is very busy now with her job as a shaman. Min is her assistant and SK is still her go to man that gets her all her clients.

Did I enjoy this book: I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed it as much as the first book, Shaman, Healer, Heretic. I read every free chance I had! As with the first book in this series, I was hooked from the very beginning. The book didn't let me go until the very end.
This was an interesting sequel and an unexpected story line. I found the mother's story fascinating and it was not at all what I thought it would be. And the end!!! Again, totally unexpected. I love it when a book surprises me an...more

Having enjoyed the first book in this series, I was keen to see how the sequel would measure up and overall I was happy.
This book didn't have the immediate impact of the first one for me. With the first book I was caught from the first page, but this one took me a few chapters before I really got into in. After that, though, I was pulled into the story and characters again.

What a fun series this is! It has a little bit of everything and is a wonderful example of urban fantasy.
The best part of this book, the second in the series, is the relationship development between Livvy and Sk. There is a great sense of tension between these two characters, making for some thrilling romantic scenes that are handled with care and not overdone. Livvy is a great character that we slowly get to learn a bit more about in this book, delving into the darker parts of her psyche. But a...more

After reading the first book in the Olivia Lawson Techno-Shaman series, Shaman, Healer, Heretic I knew that the second book was going to be a must read.

This, the second Olivia Lawson novel, takes a darker turn than the first, as Livvy has to face her inner demons, and struggle with the publicity her new-found fame has brought, as well as facing down another shaman who seems to be out to get her. I loved Livvy in the first book and it was great to see her facing some more tough challenges in this installment. It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I can't wait for book 3!
My Opinion :
Shaman, Healer, Heretic, the previous book to Shaman, Friend, Enemy was a pretty good book that I enjoyed, and this book was the same for me. I have pretty much the same opinion, so that is why this review will be pretty short.
In Shaman, Friend, Enemy, the story begins about a month (or more) after the first book ended. But now, business of Olivia is way better, since she has gotten a lot of publicity all over the media. But now, a dark shaman named Dominique has set her mind to kil...more

I greatly enjoyed this book. It was a nice way to spend my day in the hospital just reading and caring for the new Baby Prince. Shaman, Friend, Enemy is an easy read, with a plot simple to follow. I felt there were some parts that didn't quite make sense to me, and were never fully resolved, but perhaps there's a book 3 coming out. Overall, this was a great read from a self-published author. There was a little language, but not too bad.
Not as good as the first, some of the conflict fell a bit flat...until you knew a bit more about the backstory, which, sadly you only learned about too late.
All the same, I did like this book and deeply enjoyed the first one in the series. I'll be turning up for book 3 whenever it comes about.

This book was just as good as the first book. It grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let you go. I loved it. Such a great series!
This installment in the series held less interest for me. Again, I listened to this one but found my mind wandering.
While not as well executed all around as the first book in the series, it was still an enjoyable and quick read.
Just as great as the first!
