The Black Blade young adult urban fantasy series focuses on Lila Merriweather, a 17-year-old thief who lives in Cloudburst Falls, West Virginia, a town dubbed “the most magical place in America.” Tourists come from around the world to tour all the magic-themed shops and attractions, as well as see monsters like tree trolls, copper crushers, and more in their natural habitats. Lila has a Talent for sight, along with transference magic — in other words, magic makes her stronger. To survive, she does odd jobs for her pawnbroker friend. Lila also does her best to stay off the grid and avoid the Families — or mobs — who control much of the town. But when she saves a member of the powerful Sinclair Family during an attack, Lila finds herself caught in the middle of a brewing war between the Sinclairs and the Draconis, the most powerful Family in town.



The Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series focuses on Gwen Frost, a 17-year-old Gypsy girl who has the gift of psychometry, or the ability to know an object’s history just by touching it. After a serious freak-out with her magic, Gwen is shipped off to Mythos Academy, a school for the descendants of ancient warriors like Spartans, Valkyries, Amazons, and more.


The Bigtime paranormal romance books feature sexy superheroes, evil ubervillains, and smart, sassy gals looking for love.

Loved the Mythos Academy books, Bigtime was OK, haven't yet tried Black Blade, though I've got a couple of them and of course Gin Blanco in Elemental Assassins ... really enjoy those ones, though I'm not up to date.

So I've got a couple of books to read for AOM :)

I have read all the Mythos Academy books and I am up to date on the Elemental Assassin books, since I just finished Unraveled this week. I have not read the Bigtime or Black Blade series.

I read the first one in the Bigtime series but my library does not carry them and I am not in love with them enough to buy it.

As for Gin Blanco I am so far behind, like six books!

As far as the Elemental series I am just really glad she stopped repeating herself so much like she did in the earlier books. I think I may try and get in a few Elemental books and maybe Cold Burn of Magic. I hate YA but this one looks interesting.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I'm definitely not a YA fan but I really enjoyed Mythos and I didn't even realise Cold Burn was YA. LOL.

is on sale for $2.99 for Kindle and Nook through 12/04/2016. Y'all might already know because it is a Goodreads deal but thought I'd post here in case anybody was interested.
Addendum: It is also this price on Google.

Thanks Tina, I for one had no idea as Goodreads Deals are only for the US people.

You are welcome.

Read Cold Burn of Magic and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a really good story. Having said that it reminded me a lot of Gin which is a bit unfortunate.

I picked up my first Jennifer Estep Elemental Assassins's novel several years ago and thought it was ok but I wasn't hooked. Recently I picked up the second novel in the Elemental Assassins and I'm loving them. I would encourage anyone to keep reading. I feel like the series gets better and better the more I read.
