Case Files of an Urban Druid #2
Sorcery in San Francisco
Ye screw with this lass, ye get put on yer ass.
With the magical veil between our world and the fae realm down, the life we live has gotten weirder by the day.
Imagine cloud shape bawdiness, venomous invaders sneaking through tears in the fabric between worlds, and waking up to realize San Francisco isn't where it was the night before.
Yeah, lost a city? Call 1-800-Team-Trouble.
Handling the whacked and weird of the world is my wheelhouse.
It doesn’t matter if it’s murderous escaped felons, back-stabbing sorcerers, crazy fae queens, or even slighted ex-lovers, Team Trouble is there to tackle the tough situations.
And by tackle, I mean scramble to keep it all from blowing up in our faces.
Case Files of an Urban Druid brings you more druid adventure with Fiona and Clan Cumhaill. If you enjoy family shenanigans, and mythical tales of magic and mystery, you’ve found your family.

Even after 17 books (15 of the origin series) I still love every character and enjoy the absolutely ridiculous shenanigans they all get up to. This is one of my favorite series of all time. It’s witty and fun and just a damn good time and I can’t get enough of it!

This is a decent enough instalment in the series. It is not great but decent.
It follows the first book and Fiona is still the magical troubleshooter running from one problem to another.
The author ups the stakes big time in this book by making San Francisco disappear. Too bad you cannot make Newsom’s cesspools disappear like that in real life.
There’s the usual good things in the book like Fiona & Co, the bantering, some ass-kicking and all that.
I did feal that the author went overboard this early in the series by making entire cities just disappear and all that. It felt a bit like the author went for sensation instead of putting work in the story.
I also do not like this crap with Dionysus being powerless. He is one the characters I like the most in these books, but not when he is powerless, so I hope the author rectifies that stupid decision sooner rather than later.

And you thought that San Francisco was already “different”??
Well, You haven’t seen anything, until you’ve seen San Francisco on Faye Prana. In fact, immortal lava lamps will seem downright normal in comparison.
Auburn and Michael have finally perfected the art of the misdirect… You will think you have it figured out, and you do, and then it turns out you don’t. That might not make any sense, but don’t worry, it will when she read the book.
It’s a bit odd, and it doesn’t have quite the same “feel” as the rest of these two series have carried. It’s a bit more action and mystery and a little less fam-jam. But then again, they all live in separate homes, for the most part, now, so some distancing seems normal and organic.
Honestly, I am all a-flutter and on pins and needles, waiting to see what they manage to do in New Orleans… I can’t even imagine!
Enjoy!

A bit repetitive.
I know that doesn’t help, but when I’ve read all the books in the first series - and loved them - then by book two in the following series I’m questioning things… welp, it’s not looking promising. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still all in for the characters, but so far, this series is just lacking some nebulous ingredient that the Urban Druid series managed to capture. But perhaps it’s the fact that magic is now outed to the wider world and I’m not a fan of the characters that are rigid in their disapproval, or hatred, of magic. Perhaps by the time I’ve read book three I’ll be in tune with the way this new adventure is heading 🤷🏻♀️

Clan Cumhail and all the gang!
I get so lost in the adventures of Fiona that sometimes I forget to stop and tell the rest of the world how truly magnificent this series and the one that preceded it are. If you are into heroism, Magic, battle bears, adventure and Druidism with a sprinkle of history thrown in and then woven together for one epic tale after another...then this series is definitely for you! I cannot recommend it enough. But, I will warn you, it is easy to get sucked in and hard to put down😊

Interesting
This book is a little bit different in that Team Trouble is still up to their eyeballs with trouble, but not everyone was involved in the escapade and the adventure is actually pretty low keyed, which is perfect. It's nice to have a storyline where not everything and everyone is in panic mode. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of action....it's just that Fi and her family have a little bit of downtime. I liked it.

Another great book !
If you read the last book I reviewed then you know that reading this book is also fantastic with something for both Males and Fenales to enjoy so go on shoo and read this book. Are you still here I have no more wisdom to impart on you other than you should be downloading this book and reading it. If you have not read the box sets I will advise you read them first. Enjoy them all like I have done.

Lost San fran
Book two takes Fiona to San Francisco in the fae world, I must admit I did not enjoy this one as much I am starting to get a little bored of the Greeks and they are in the books as much as Fiona is (poor slone) she asked Nicky if he was ok while fussing over the Greek God but slone went down as well, shouldn't she asked him if he was ok she knew he was in pain helping nicky?

Totally different
This book keeps all the love of the fam jam but with a smaller cast.
Fi, Sloan, Nikon, and their new team member find themselves navigating not only a displaced city, but also a political system they are not used to.
Such a fun read. Loved it so much. Can't wait to see what happens next

So loving this series
I really enjoy the dynamics of the characters in this series. You have a lot of funny things, some drama but always in a good way. Can't wait for the next one to come out. Maybe if we're lucky she'll give us short stories of the characters, that would be a blast.

Magic and the Fae
Another really good book about Fi, her family and crew. I look forward to this series and the books always go to the top of my tbr list. The family and friends dynamics are great and the stories are always full of fun and adventure. I like the new characters that are being introduced and am looking forward to seeing how they add to the fun.

Still awesome
I admit I was nervous about how this was going to work once the original series wrapped up, but I really love how these books are laid out and going. The characters and plot lines suit this style of story telling perfectly and it's fun to see them traveling to other parts of the non glamorous world zones.

Great series!
I’m so glad the Urban Druid crew continues to exist via these case file stories. The original series was great and these new adventures keep improving that status. I’d highly recommend these books to anyone who likes witty characters with hearts and honor, entertaining story lines, and a touch of magic.

Case files Series
So far I've read two books in this new series that continues the story of the Gumball family and their friends. It does not disappoint. So happy to be able to continue with adventures of Fiona and Sloan. I look forward to learning more about some of the other characters as well.

Oh Dionysus...
Well, this changes things. No spoilers other than, I did not see that coming. Nikon - both Greeks!!!!! Nikon might get what he's so long been denied, we shall see.
The characters and story-telling are as awesome as always. The fleshing out of this universe in the second Fi and Family series is seriously on point!! Keep on writing!!!!!

Another great one in the series
This was a little different shift, but still the clan that I have come to love. We have added some new players and got back one of my favs. This one gave us a dip into the fae realm. We learned some history on our favor immortal. It is really a fun read!

Excellent, exciting and very entertaining!!!
Congratulations to Auburn Tempest and Michael Anderle for this amazing series. It’s extremely hard to find such interesting and e,xciting authors who not only write intelligently but also provide top rated plots, characters and excitement in the stories. I’m really looking forward to the next book.

Stretch your imagination as the adventures of clan Cumhaill, the urban Druids just keep getting wilder. By now I’m sure you’re hooked, and if not, start from the beginning as they learn of their new legacy of power,and you will soon be a devoted fan of Fiona and family 👍👍👍💜

With the veil down, fae magic is seeping in creating chaos. Fi’s Team Trouble heads to their next problem. San Francisco has disappeared.
Nikon’s powers seem to be prominent in this story, though the others all have their roles. And we temporarily lose one.
Fave scenes: the baby spider, Fi’s first meeting with Danika, buried in the rubble and opening the clock.

wowzer!!
Another smashing success for Fiona, so thrilled her and team trouble survived and thrived. Super sad about Dionysus though I’m glad he’s back, but I’m sad. He doesn’t have his powers. That seems super scary. Definitely another book worth reading. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Another great adventure.
This adventure with Fi and her team started with a bang. The plot had twists you won't expect. Lots of interaction with a new Guild team. Can't wait for the next assignment. Great series.
