(Amplifier #4)

I knew that opening the letter from the sorcerer Azar would have deadly consequences.
So we had prepared.
We’d planned.
We knew we might have to defend ourselves, our freedom. And that I might finally get a chance to exact the revenge I kept telling myself I wasn’t interested in exacting.
What we didn’t know was that we’d find ourselves hosting a dysfunctional family reunion — ...more

One of the best things to come out of the pandemic, at least for me, is that I discovered Meghan Ciana Doidge. She writes urban fantasy in sets of interlocking trilogies and I'm completely hooked. I had so much fun reading through the first 20 or so books, that I didn't pause to think about what would happen when I was through all the backlist. This was the first one I had to wait for. It was completely worth it - the first of a new trilogy - but admit to being frustrated that I now have to wait

Another great read
If you haven’t read Meghan’s books you need to NOW!! I’m loving how Emma’s character is developing. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I would love my own Paisley. He is one of my favorite characters.

Amazing as always!
Love hearing more from Aiden’s family, and the 4.5 from Opals view was awesome! Thank you again for sharing your work with us, another good one, looking forward to hearing more about the Archivist.

This series has certainly grown from the first book that I had to drag myself through. Now I am fully on Team Emma, even when the rest of the usual suspects are away.
We knew Aiden would have to open the letter from his father someday, and that's really what this book is about. We deal with the fallout and the larger scheme at play, all while they are also trying to raise a teenage witch and hunt down the rest of the five.

Meghan Ciana Doidge"She has a penchant for bloody love stories"
Emma and Aiden's story tipped the scales to love over blood in this one. Emma experienced so many circumstances of love and family and friendship which contrasted to her own upbringing. The focus was on her relationship with Aiden and the plot that pulled him into dealing with the two sides of his family. I loved watching Emma think and choose rather than having to act/react for survival. I so love this world and the characters' evo ...more

Another fantastic book from MCD, though I liked Amplifier 0-3 better.
Idols and Enemies gives us everything we expect from the Amplifier series: Emma kicking ass, Aiden being hot, Paisley being... well, Paisley. It also mixes up the cast heavily, introducing a whopping 5 new and 2 semi-recurring characters to the household. MCD goes out of her way to give each character their own personality and scene to take the spotlight, but even so I found it hard to genuinely care about the fate of all thes ...more

Idols & Enemies – Amplirier Book 4
Emma and Aiden are still adjusting to life without the past to haunt them, or are they?
Unfortunately, Aiden’s parents turn up – both bringing issues with them and then more members of the families, each tearing the fragile webs of family apart. As the story deepens, they discover more powerful spells and magic, some of which is bad and some of which is good.
I don’t want to tell you too much for spoilers, but I will say that Meghan Ciana Doidge is a fabulous writ ...more

Awesomely wonderful!
May I just say fricking awesome!!!
The build up to this Sorcerer showdown with Aiden and his father had had me bring my nails. Hubsters like it's a frickin BOOK!! I looked at him appalled 😮
Add in his brothers, sisters, cousin and mother you know it's going to be an epic smack down 😉
Emma must face one of the Collective on her own turf and invite him in.

Man oh man did things get messy in this book. Who knew that loving someone so much could make you go against something so ingrained in your nature? I am in absolute awe of Meghan’s writing. Her imagination has built this world that feels so rich and real. The growth of Emma in this series has been amazing. From being this human designed to be a socio-path, following orders to kill, given these abilities to turning into this fierce woman who loves and protects her own is beyond fabulous. I know t

I've enjoyed all of Meghan Ciana Doidge's books from the cupcake series (where I started) through this one and this was no exception to my enjoyment. I usually keep reading her books until I finish it. I'm retired. :)
She brings life to her characters and she showed the complex relationships that can happen in families. I am looking forward to more stories including maybe a few about the next generation.

I love Meghan Ciana Doidge and her writing.
I am always looking for books that hook you within a short number of pages and this author can do it by the second chapter. Emma and Aiden have the house to themselves and get a visit from Aiden's father quickly followed by his brothers. This results in his Mother needing to come with his half sisters. The atmosphere is quickly ratcheted up, but by the end of the book we are reminded of last characters from her other books, so I hope everyone is coming ...more

As always Amazing
I really enjoy Emma's journey in learning or finding her humanity. Her & Aiden gaining confidence in themselves & each other, their ever expanding family & friends. This recent challenge to there lives is a family affair from hell. The surprise rescue is a total shock & hints at a crossover that's thrilling. Salivating for #5! ...more

Kind of left with the feeling this would not be the end if the amplifier series. This author doesn't leave so many loose ends. Bee is still missing, Daniel is out of the loop, Opal's to vague future to see, what's going on with Ocean? Is she staying? What about the wedding? Will Papa Azar be back? How will Emma handle the new power? Will the guardians check back in?

Phenomenal
This story just kept getting better. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I had a hard time figuring out what we were up against & loved it was something we hadn't faced before. Especially loved the guardian appearance towards the end. I hope there will be a few more cameo's in the future stories. Looking forward to more. ...more

Excellent work! Fast, tight, smooth writing with no lulls in the tempo. Love the addition of new and interesting characters and the possibilities they bring to the Adept world.
This novel was a welcome read, not even a hint like work!

Emma and Aiden finally open the letter from Kadar Azar and of course he comes to visit. Things escalate and more battles with the supernatural occur.
