Re-read on 4.30.13 - Review stands. I'm re-read in preparation for the third book!

**Beware! Some spoilers for those who haven't read the first book**
Earlier this year I picked up a book on a whim by an author I'd never read before. I ended up absolutely charmed by the book that just seemed to have something special that made it rise above its few flaws. In looking at it, it was hard to pinpoint exactly what made it special. Though there are elements unique to...more

I only just now read some of the other reviews for this book and it's interesting how different my experience with this book was from some other reviewers'.
I felt like Simon and Gray's story wasn't finished at the end of the first book, so seeing in the blurb for this one that it was about a new couple actually disappointed me. Especially seeing that it was about Rocky. I felt so guilty at the end of the first book because I'd not been able to like him, and seeing that book 2 was about him I fe...more

SlashReaders: Keep going, I think that is what I want to say most about these books. In the end I do not think they are great; however, I think that Poppy Dennison shows a lot of potential for the future.
A lot about these books, the characters and the relationships are rather juvenile. But there are some good things as well. I like the way she deals with magic, which isn't as straight forward as it could be. A lot of times for me werewolves, vampires and mages tend to get a little over used, tri...more

This second installment held my interest just as much as the first story did. Because I really loved Simon and Gray as a couple, I was happy that this book followed up on their mating and the ripples that their unexpected union caused in the shifter community. Simon was still in training with his grandfather Cormac, and was about to come into his full magical powers on his 25th birthday. He was also trying to adjust to pack life as well as being a step-father to Gray's son Garon (who was just ad...more
I struggle on how to rate this book. For overall enjoyment of the story, it is a 4 star, yet I can not give it that score. The back cover makes you think that it is about Cade and Rocky, but it is really more focused on Simmon and Gray. And the fact that I feel like I was sold something I did not get makes me want to rate it a 2 star. Honestly, I feel a bit peeved. We really don't see Cade and Rocky's romance start until 51% and then it is just one sex scene and one fight. By the end you don't e...more

This book is part of a series and must be read in order. Cade is Alpha Gray’s best friend and he feels he could have done more when the cubs had been kidnapped and will do anything to ensure that his pack is safe. Even if it means working with Rocky, who he just can’t quite trust. Rocky is only with Gray’s pack to upgrade security, or so the pack thinks. His own Alpha wants to know all the packs secrets, but t...more

I really like what did the author done with this series. Usually I don't enjoy the storylines which are mixed up with different couples. Here I actually don't mind. The start into this second book was a bit boring. It was fixed on Simon & Gray. But then this way we got a better understanding about their emotions and fears, I liked it. Simon's fears are understandable, but as soon as he accepts his new pack family, he begins to accept his love for Gray, too. The second couple in this book are...more
You need to read the first book in the series (Mind Magic) before this one or you'll be disappointed. Body Magic picks up right where Mind Magic finishes. According to the blurb this book is about Cade and Rocky but in fact Simon and Gray from book 1 get more page time. The High Moon Pack is just starting to accept its Alpha (Gray) being mated to a Mage (Simon). Representatives of the Were Council arrive to judge the mating but an Alpha from another pack (Malone) has a spy in place to prevent th...more
Second books in a series can sometimes be a letdown not much happens, you get introduced to new main characters and the rest of the cast you grew to love from the first book have a very small part or no part at all in the second book. A lot of times in a series each book can be a standalone and I often wonder what makes them a series? My idea of a series is a story that is a continuation with all the characters playing a role and yes new ones added.

Rating 3.5 to 4
Body Magic picks up where Mind Magic ended. Simon and Gray are mated but have yet to announce their mating to the pack (although word travels fast). Unfortunately, there is still trouble ahead for the young mage and alpha wolf. Threats from within, political machinations as well as some very scary unknown bad guy actions keep the plot interesting and fast paced.

4. 5 stars...Interesting a little different, then the traditional wolf-shifter as far as an omega view point. Good chemistry, nice spin off from book one. I wish it were a HEA not an HFN dang.
Change is the word with C capital in this second book of Triad series. Change for Simon and above all for Rocky. Really I not liked him from begin but his character is realistic because is true who one person grown up thinking being a omega, the last,the nothing, takes his time for understand that there are persons who think be different is beautiful and enrich everyone, in this case the pack of werewolf. I'm very curios of development of story but I must tell that there is strong and true moral...more
Originally Reviewed for The Book Vixen
The blurb makes this book sound like it’s about Rocky and Cade when it’s really more of an extension of the romance from book one. I really liked book one so I wasn’t displeased that romance is continued here but it short-changed Rocky and Cade’s romance big time, which disappointed me since it had potential to be awesome.

Recommends it for:
Anyone who has read Book 1 - Mind Magic
So often a sequel doesn't live up to expectation, but this one does in spades.
The main characters we became attached to in Book 1 play a prominant role in Body Magic, so we're not left with the traditional 'Ben and John were book 1.,,, lets forget about them and focus on Mark and Paul in book 2'
New relationships play an important role in book 2 which just adds to the 'Magic Family'
I have an idea as to who the ringleader 'baddy' is, so I'm definitely looking forward to book 3 to see if I'm correc...more

I had to rate this one higher than the first, especially since author didn't leave Simon and Gray dangling in the wind, but continued their story. She also started the new romance between Cade and Rocky and didn't make them fall madly in love in the middle of that madness. She just opened the possibility for something more to grow between them. I'm hoping that Cormac saving Liam means that "grandpa" vampire will and Grey's Beta will be in the next book to complete the Triad. All in al...more

I enjoyed this second book but it was mostly still about Simon and Gray rather than Rocky and Cade. I also wish that the author would have gone into more detail as to what an Omega wolf is. Aunt Maggie says it's a 'wolf who needs more training' but then Cade could tell Rocky was an Omega by the submissive tilt of his chin... We also have no idea just how bad Rocky was treated in his old pack and what that had to do with being an Omega.

When I read first read Mind Magic, I was so enamored with the story and the characters and the world, I didn't want it to end. I was anxiously awaiting the sequel, and while a small part of me was afraid it wouldn't live up to the first, I couldn't stay away from what was such an alluring world. My fears were for naught because the sequel ended up being just as good as the first.

OMG are Code and Rocky hot couple or what? They are great together from my point of view.
Even though Poppy Dennison wrote them in combination with first couple Simon and Gray and continued story plot from first book the whole is just awesome.
Its shown that Poppy Dennison really knows how to write because its a skill to write 2 couples in story and get such a harmony out of it.
Really great writing. I love the story plots progress and I really hope that we will get new book out soon.

Second installment to the series, it continues from where Mind Magic left off on. The focus has shift a bit and is not exclusively on Simon and Gray, Rocky and Cade are also featured a good amount in the story. This book was as good as the first in the series if not better. I hoping the next book will feature a romance between Liam and Cormac, with what happened when they were fighting the enemy at the compound...
3.5 stars
This story is a filler between #1 and #3 with some but not a huge amount of progress made in revealing why the people of the 'Others' society are under attack.
Read the reviews by by MandyM and Cole Riann for excellent synopsis; there's really nothing I can add to that.
The reason I didn't rate it higher is simply due to my own personal take on Rocky....he's kind of a dick and not very likeable (at least so far).

First, this book is an immediate continuation of the previous book, and it has just as much of Simon and Gray in it as the first book, so you do need to read the first book, and I would suggest reading them together. While Cade and Rocky are working on their relationship in this story, it's just as much about Gray and Simon as it is Rocky and Cade.

The sequel to Mind Magic kept me on the edge of my seat. Cade and Rocky were fantastic as sub characters and I adored watching them come to the headline in this book.
Simon and Grey continued to grow as a couple which was lovely to see and I also loved how Garon interacted with Simon, on a similar level, but that he is growing to love Simon as a secondary father.
Well done, Poppy

Just finished reading "Body Magic" this afternoon. I finished reading "Mind Magic" EARLY this morning. I soooooooo looking forward to getting my hands on "Soul Magic" (assuming that is the title) when it come out. My mind is going in circles trying to figure out what direction the third book will take. Oh, if I only had a time machine.....
Poppy Dennison started off running with her smashing hit, Mind Magic... and the sequel to that book, Mind Magic is also a thoroughly enjoyable read. In the return trip to the loveable wolf-pack from the first novel, there is even more adventure, character growth, and plain old sweet, hot, sexy fun. I'd recommend this one to anyone.
Loved it!! Has all the things I love in a story. Family issues, power plays, violence, romance, new characters that added to the main storyline.. and of course my wolves!!! Excellent second book and looking forward to more.. Thanks Carey!!
Was a good follow up to the original story and let me wanting to know what happens next...I hope the author finishes it because I'm completely invested in the MC along with supporting cast! Recommended read.
4 stars. I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first. I say almost only because this is a trilogy and things were left very open at the end. I kinda wish I had waited until the next book is out because now I'm so impatient to read the next! I can't wait to see who the next couple is (Cormac please?) and I love reading about Simon and Gray and the family.
Recommended if you've read the first book (which you should!). :)

Good sequel 4.5 stars. I'm so glad that the omega thing didn't also mean bottoming in that relationship, it's good to spice things up....still wanted more of Cade and Rocky together,but I like the action.
