Recap: Herman and Stephen continue to figure out their relationship in the light of his demonic powers and the complication of Nina.
Review: Maybe it was because I read book two straight after reading book one but it felt repetitive and that hardly anything was happening until about three quarters of the way through and then bam! It all kicked off and that was fantastic. The prose has lost its delicious sexual tension from book one and moved into a darker, more violent sexual frenzy at times. I d ...more

Author Linda G. Hill has done it again. She has managed to surprise me, entertain me, frustrate me, amuse me, and make me cry with her new release, The Magician’s Blood. This book is second in her series, The Great Dagmaru. Her main characters, Herman and Stephen continue their journey while facing unspeakable challenges when Stephen’s Incubus nature is revealed.
This book is a true gothic intended for audiences 18+ and releases on August 10, 2018. Linda graciously let me read an ARC in exchange ...more

Good book! Worth reading if you enjoy paranormal with steamy romance scenes.
When i first started I wasn’t certain, as the first few chapters didn’t seem to be doing anything for me, but then I realised i was 1/3 of the way through without realising how much I had read! Always a good sign reading a book, and I had come back to it a few hours later and in a different mood.

The Magician’s Blood is the second novel in The Great Dagmaru Series. I’ve read and reviewed the first book, The Magician’s Curse, on my blog at colleenchesebro.com.
Let me begin by saying that I could not put this book down! Much like the curse that holds Stephen Dagmar under its control, I tore into this book, reading into the wee hours until finally, the book released me from its hold! Be prepared, because Canadian author, Linda G. Hill, has created a paranormal romance like no other.

I've been waiting for the 2nd book in this series for what seems like for ever and it definitely didn't disappoint.
Full of magic and intrigue, the story kept me gripped from the first page to the last.
I loved the development of Stephan and Herman's relationship as well as the further glimpses into the supporting characters.

I have waited patiently to finally read this sequel to Linda Hill's The Magician's Curse and I was really not disappointed!
It took a couple of chapters to get back up to speed with the original story; the magic, the curse, Stephen and Herman's love, Nina and her demented adoration for the 'Master' who impregnated her by compulsion rather than desire...

This is an unusual tale full of twists and turns involving a sexy and clever magician, his lovely magician’s assistant and soulmate, a family curse, and a jealous romantic rival hell bent on revenge. Stephen Dagmar, or The Great Dagmaru, is no ordinary parlor-trick magician. On the contrary, his magic is real, as is his love and passion for Herman. If you’re in the mood for some romantic suspense, steamy passion, and a gothic tale of magic and revenge, this is the book for you!
Book 2 in the series and absolutely no disappointment here.
The book picks up where book 1 left off, only this time the initial mystery is where has Herman’s family gone? Is it connected?
A really good read

Review: The Magician's Blood: A Paranormal Romance takes off where the first book ends in The Great Dagmaru series. Herman is working as Stephen's assistant, but she is constantly bumping up against her inexperience and his robust sexual past. She loves Stephen and knows he loves her, but that doesn't seem to quell Herman's feelings of jealousy.

Stephen’s magical act is on tour all over Canada and with Herman playing a big part in the act, it looks like things are on track. However, Herman and Stephen’s relationship is as complicated as ever and with more of Stephen’s demonic side making an appearance could it get any worse.
With Nina temporarily out of the picture you would think it would help Herman’s relationship. However, the revelation of the incubus bloodline puts another strain on it. Although it explains a lot about other women’s ...more

After reading book one I had to jump onwards to book two. The plot is very captivating and there is definitely more to uncover. There were revelations about Herman this time, which adds to the intrigue of the story.
I thoroughly enjoyed the authors writing. There is lots of chemistry between the main characters, which lends itself well to the romantic elements of the story. That said, there are a few moments that were more eww than ooh, but maybe that's down to personal preference. Overall anoth ...more

Even better than the first book. I really enjoyed the way that Herman's character grew as an individual. She certainly doesn't deserve all the drama in her life. I am not fond of obsessed characters, but Nina's history is pretty messed up. And Herman's father is not likable.

The 2nd in the series this book follows on straight were book one finishes.
The is more explicit scenes and definitely more violence in this one but thats also a development of the story and especially how Nina is unraveling.
We also learn more about Herman in this book and why she is called a man's name.

How do you know it’s true love? Dedication, commitment, trust and pain. If it doesn’t hurt then you don’t care. Herman cares so much for Stephan that she hurts all the time for him. Nina makes it quite difficult for them to have a normal relationship but Herman manages to handle every situation with grace. This book was addicting and will put you through emotional turmoil like no other.
Exciting
Definitely worth reading! It was a little more violent than the first book which I didn't enjoy, however, the story is entirely gripping and the characters make you care. Even the badies. ...more
