Boundary Magic series, starting with Boundary Crossed, by Melissa F. Olson - beginning November 27th, 2018

[Jennifer]

Book One description: After her twin sister’s brutal murder, former US Army Sergeant Allison “Lex” Luther vowed to protect her niece, Charlie. So when two vampires try to kidnap the baby, it quickly turns into a fight to the death—Lex’s death, that is.

She wakes up to two shocking discoveries: she has miraculously survived the fight, and baby Charlie is a “null,” gifted with the ability to weaken supernatural forces...and a target for creatures who want to control that power. Determined to guarantee her niece’s safety, Lex makes a deal with the local vampires. She sets out with the mysterious—and undead—“fixer” Quinn to track down whoever’s responsible for the kidnapping, sharpening her newfound magic skills along the way. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her powers become.

Boundary Crossed is a dark, thrilling journey into a world where the line between living and dead isn’t nearly as solid as it appears...

Ch 10 (25%) - (view spoiler)[ I like Quinn, for a vampire. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 14 (36%) - (view spoiler)[ Well, that was a convenient time to stake her (right as she was about to confess who the boss was). Now I'm wondering about Quinn. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 21 (53%) - (view spoiler)[ interesting dynamic she has there with her sister's widower. (hide spoiler)]

[Jennifer]

Finished - (view spoiler)[ Crap, now I can't remember how Sam died. Hopefully, the next book will recap. Either way, Sam's character how Lex sees her, is different from how I remember Scarlett seeing her.

I'm glad Charlie is safe (for now), and I like the spark of romance with Quinn. Vampires in Melissa Olsen's books are usually more devoid of emotion, but Quinn is sweet and interesting. I can't wait to see where this goes with Lex. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11 (24%) - (view spoiler)[ So someone is controlling the werewolves? I guess if a Boundary Witch can press Vampires, and Vampires can press humans, there is probably someone out there that can press werewolves. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 23 (51%) - (view spoiler)[ Well that was a bit lucky that they weren't home when the house was torn apart. What the hell is going on?? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 31 (74%) - (view spoiler)[ So someone powerful is controlling this snake? Or did they just activate the ley lines and the snake waking up was a side effect? (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[ Yay, she gets to explain to John about the Old World. Seriously, I was starting to feel bad about him always needing to be pressed and not knowing why. I also felt really bad that he has been messing around with a married woman this whole time and didn't know it - yuck!

I'm glad Lex made up with Quinn too (though, I think he was right to do what he did). And I'm even a little proud of Maven - she didn't just kill everyone....that's progress! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 7 (20%) - (view spoiler)[ IDK...it seems a little fishy to me that her birth father would just show up out of the blue at the same time there is strange stuff going on. He's sketchy! (hide spoiler)]
Ch 21 (50%) - (view spoiler)[ Holy moly, that was an intense couple of chapters! Emil stakes Quinn, traps Lex with a bunch of angry wraiths and then Simon comes and saves the day. Whew! I'm wondering why they could touch her though?? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 33 (77%) - (view spoiler)[ I'm still trying to figure out why he is blue. But I'm glad Kirsten explained everything else. (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[ Man, Quinn is a really nice guy! I am so glad that he didn't just break up with her because she pressed him. It makes me happy inside that they are sticking together. And Maven! Who knew she had it in her to be nice? (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1: (view spoiler)[Well, shit. That whole baby thing was intense! (hide spoiler)]
Ch. 13: (view spoiler)[ Interesting so far. I like that the baby is a null because of that one series we are reading (scarlett) but I'm wondering what kind of witch she is.. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch. 30: (view spoiler)[lmfao the whole family thing and how she had to bring a plus 1 to a birthday party had me dying. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Finished: (view spoiler)[okay, that ending was kind of meh. I guess I'm down to dive into the next book? (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 10: (view spoiler)[ugh every time boulder is mentioned i think of colorado and that makes me think of the people i work with there.. and then I'm frustrated beyond relief. (hide spoiler)]
Ch. 20: (view spoiler)[I like Lex and Simon.. kind of reminds me of Clary and Simon - in a way. (hide spoiler)]
Ch. 30: (view spoiler)[omg I feel so bad for Sam.. hot damn, i'm emotional (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[WOW, a lot happened in this book. I'm glad stuff came out in the open and I'm also happy that Lex and Quinn are back in it. Yay for making up! (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch. 10: (view spoiler)[..a bit awkward between those two (hide spoiler)]
Ch. 20: (view spoiler)[OKAY.. but what does he have against MAVEN? (hide spoiler)]
Ch. 30: (view spoiler)[lowkey, I hate her dad.. well her real dad. zero emotion towards his own kin. ugh (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[OMG YES! Quinn, I love you - don't ever change. My man! (hide spoiler)]
