This is a great series, I would highly recommend it. I read the first a while ago so I don't remember specifics but Allie is a good strong heroine who's not over the top in unrealistic ass-kicky-ness. It has a very interesting take on a world of magic and there are some other great characters that develop well over the course of the series like Davion Jones. I got up to 5 (since that's all that was out at the time) but I have the rest and I definitely wanna finish this one up!
The first book in this series was an absolute roller coaster ride for me and even though book 2 and 3 didnt measure up, Id recommend the first book in a heart beat. It was dark and emotional. I felt like I couldnt sleep when I was about half way through. I just wanted to know that everything would be alright. Im onto book 4 now and very excited to get back into the series. I dont think reading this would be a waste of anyones time! Its one of those books I think you have to experience even if you dont go further :)
I'm just starting this one today. I can't wait to read it because it sounds like a very interesting read and seems to have good reviews :)
I started reading this one, this past weekend. I dare say I like the voice of this book a lot more than the other book of the month. I am about 25% through the book according to my kindle app. We shall see hoe I like it at the end, so far so good.
I seriously enjoyed this book omg!!!!! I will definitely be reading more since I really liked the characters, story, world, etc. :D
woo hoo! im glad its being well received. Shamus is introduced in book 3 and he just makes these books for me..One of my biggest book crushes! After Robin Goodfellow, and maybe Cal from Leandros series...

I'm still waiting to get my copy, but it finally sent out and should pop up in the mail by this weekend, so hopefully I can finish it in time. I'm really glad this one was chosen - the premise sounds so interesting and DIFFERENT from what's already out there. Can't wait to read it.

I enjoyed this. An unusual magic style as many others have stated before. I like that it's not without cost, or penalties. I gave it 3 stars in my review and I'm reading the rest of the series.

I'm think about starting this one.. is it worth it?
I would say so - book 1 was great, then it picks up again at book 3 :)
Yes, its a great series.
It's definitely worth it I really loved book 1 and have book 2 and 3 waiting for me when I eventually get there lol. But I've heard nothing but good things about the series in general :)

I can't address whether or not the 1st book is the weakest because I listen differently than I read. I will say the reader was so awesome that I 'heard' her characterizations as I read the remaining novels.
I would put this series right up there with Mercy and Kate. If you like them, this series is worth it. I was put off by so many reviews saying it was heavy on the romance. I did not find that to be true AT ALL. In fact, I would say the romance aspect is . . . just right.
