Boundary Broken

This is a great forth book in the series, excellent story with danger and plotting going on in the back ground. Read with great feeling by Kate Rudd.

Excellent Urban Fantasy

I really enjoy these novels. They are really enjoyable as an audio book and the narrator, Kate Rudd, is an excellent choice for stories with Allison ‘Lex’ Luther. Lex has a mature voice. She is a woman with combat and command experience and having a voice with depth and conviction is necessary for the novel to be read with the right degree of authority. Kate Rudd has that kind of voice and acting ability.

This is the fourth book in this particular series but there are other story strands to the ‘Old World’. You really do need to read at least the other books in this particular series for this book to make much sense.

Lex has been working for Maven, the Cardinal Vampire for Colorado, for a while now and is happily settled with Quinn, her vampire boyfriend, who also happens to be Maven’s right hand man. Maven has been pretty busy of late and not really using Lex for anything particularly useful that utilises her skill set. She is also a little worried that if Quinn was forced to lie to Lex because Maven told him to, he would be force to, due to the magic of his oath. She knows he loves her but it is a nagging worry.

When Lex gets a call from a werewolf alpha from the next state asking for help, as she owed him a favour, Lex doesn’t hesitate to help, because: 1. She owes him a favour, 2. It’s the right thing to do and 3. She’s bored. Two wolves have gone missing and the alpha suspects foul play. It turns out he’s right.

This is the start of some very complex and political plot writing, interwoven with great use of magic based on a huge resource of a ready built universe that has been created over quite a few books. It also helps that Lex is a great character as are her friends and family. In particular I love the relationship she has with Charlie and hearing about their cute video calls reminds me so much of chatting to my own niece when she was four the same way.

I like that Lex has a difficult past but has forged a present that works for her, surrounded by her loved ones. She’s incredibly moral but at the same time she is pretty practical when she needs to be.

This author writes well rounded characters, based in a complex and real feeling universe with clever, interesting and entertaining plot lines. I always enjoy her books, and this one is a particularly good one.

Witches Werewolves and Vampires whats not to like

Good follow on book for our Boundary Witch Lex and her pals - I wont give the plot away but obviously Lex has to act to avert disastrous consequences of enemy action.

I found it quite enjoyable for the most part - though there is the odd sad part to it.

Narration was good

Its a complete story on its own but would be appreciated more if the books have been read in sequence. There is certainly scope for the story to continue into a next book

good and enjoyable.

I'm really enjoying this series and I like the mix up of characters and story. it's nice that the books are set a while after then ending of the previous book. allows for changes needed to keep it fresh.

Ok - but not as good as the rest of the series

Lex just seemed to bumble about completely clueless and useless throughout the whole book. It was still an ok listen but it was really lacking the extra spark I’ve grown to expect from Melissa F. Olson. I’ll still get more books from the author though.
