Megan has had it with leprechauns. They want nothing more than to take over her luck—something she’s not willing to give up. After finding herself locked in a dungeon on Christmas morning, she vows to take O’Malley down.
Between trying to have a normal life in high school, and fighting various fairy tale creatures thrown in her way, Megan barely has time to breathe. But when a mysterious darkness begins to snatch the fairies and leprechauns that have protected Megan and her family, she must learn the history of her luck and defeat the bad guys once and for all.
Jaclyn is an Idaho farm girl who grew up loving to read. She developed a love for writing as a senior in high school, when her dad jokingly said she was the next Dr. Seuss (not even close, but very sweet). She met her husband, Steve, at BYU, and they have six happy, crazy children who encourage her to keep writing. After owning a bookstore and running away to have adventures in Australia, they settled back down in their home in Utah. Jaclyn now spends her days herding her kids to various activities and trying to remember what she was supposed to do next. She has published six books in a year, and her mind is still reeling from the awesomeness. Her books include Ring of Truth; A Christmas Worth Billions; The Princess and the Prom Queen; Magicians of the Deep; the Luck series--Stolen Luck, Twist of Luck, Best of Luck, More Than Just Luck, No Such Luck, and Just My Luck, a novella; and Endless.
Stolen Luck #1 - What a fun book! Even though I had read Seeking His Luck #7 first, it didn't affect reading Stolen Luck. This is a well written, suspense filled story. The characters have been thought out and their dialogue is realistic, even the leprechauns; OK, maybe their accents need more Irish. The story is filled with humor, mainly directed at the main character, but while laughing, the reader feels for the girl. An enjoyable read that makes the reader look forward to the next book of the Luck series. I purchased in 2017. 5*
Twist of Luck #2 - This story picks up seven months after Stolen Luck ended. This story is packed with action, suspense and fun. The well thought out plot just twists and turns, taking the reader on a kickin’ ride. The characters are growing better as the pages go rapidly to the end. The humor still exists, although there are some bad things happening, but so are the good. I purchased in 2017. This book reminded me of Butcher and Harris. 5*
Best of Luck #3 - Takes place the same year on Christmas day. This is also packed with action, suspense and fun. Secrets come to light; travel opens doors; and the humor is still constant. The characters learn more about themselves and their talents, even sadness doesn't stop them. This storyteller is on the level of Butcher and Harris. 5*
More Than Just Luck #4 - The adventures don't stop, even after everyone's graduated from high school. Learning about the real and fairy worlds keeps our favorite characters rockin’ and rollin’. The characters are experiencing growth in their adventures and the plot is intriguing. The humor remains and the author's descriptions never fail to entertain, just as in the previous books. I'm gonna have to call this one a cliffhanger. 5*
No Such Luck #5 - This book picks up where More Than Just Luck ends. The fun never stops and the story is so substantial, that the reader can't put down the story. Well written and full of action and suspense, along with a healthy dose of humor all through the story. It appears it's the end, but it's just the beginning to many things. The miracle near the end is very heartwarming and full of magic. As much as I loved Seeking and all the other books, I think this is my favorite! 5*
Just My Luck #6 - This book starts a couple of years before Stolen Luck #1 begins, telling Adam's story with Louie. Well written, but short. A nice, quick trip into the past. This is the last book I read, so all my other reviews apply to this book, too. 5*
Seeking His Luck #7 - This is the first book I've read by this author and I loved it! Even though this is part of a series, I didn't feel lost or confused by the story. It is a well written, intriguing story. The characters are likable, funny and believable. The plot keeps the reader immersed in the story and the humor adds to the enjoyment. This book happens 20 years after No Such Luck #5. 5*
I contacted the author to review her books after reading my purchases of the first two books. Unfortunately, I’m no longer a verified purchase for them, since they were removed from Amzn recently. I also read some of these books with friends (who purchased or had ARCs) during our usual Book Party.
Twisty creatures are leprechauns! Friends are now foes and foes become friends. Picking up from Book 2, you will really want to have read these in order to fully appreciate the twists and turns of plot. Swordplay and crossbows and magic and magical creatures--everything you could want!
This set of books just keeps getting better. So take the time to give them a chance. If you love fantasy books these books have a lot of that. With a lot of action to boot.
This one was slow going at first but the. couldn't put it down. I do want to find out what happens with Megan, Jared, Beth, and Adam now that the fight is over
This was another fun book filled with Adventure and even some Romance! I'm so impressed with this series so far! Jaclyn Weist is an awesome author! I feel like I'm battling right along with Megan!
