Smashwords book reviews by m Williams

Semester Aboard: An Urban Fantasy Adventure on Nov. 26, 2012

How many great things can I say about this book?!? It took me a few pages to get into it, but I was sucked in! The author did a great job with the character development, and there were a lot of characters to deal with! As the story progressed, I got to learn more and more about each person: their "gifts" and how they use them. There was a sense of mystery in this book and the fight scenes were well played. As with the main character of this story, Jenn, she was very interesting as well as identifiable. There was magic, magic and more magic on a voyage on a "ship", which fits the title. I cannot wait to read the next book because the cliff hanger left me wanting more to sink my teeth into!
Snow Bound on Aug. 08, 2013

I loved the More Than Magic: Semester Aboard Book #1, but this book, More Than Magic: Snow Bound Book #2 is even better! It starts with Jen going to a ski resort to have a vacation with the Magics she met on the cruise. Jen is so excited to see all of them, but is most looking forward to seeing Thomas who she developed a serious crush for on the cruise. She is all perpared when she arrives at the resort with her bag, skis and her familiar, Rak, a cat. Thomas was supposed to pick her up, but as much as she loves TS, he is alone to take her to their cabin. She is so excited and gets to ride TS as a werewolf the three miles to their cabin. She soon sees everyone, Dani, Mariana, Char and Thomas! Also she meets Ember, Char's Niece, who is a fire elemental herself. They all ski and have a great time. Dani tricks Thomas and Jen by getting them by themselves. It happens that they talk and kiss. :) This is the most darlin' scene. I love how it is written. They end up 'going steady' and Dani gets to tease them. Eveything is going great, then Jen's non-magic cousin, Shannon, shows up as a surprise. Jen is tense and doesn't know what to do, but everyone else offers for her to stay in the cabin with them. Jen doesn't think this is a good idea because Shannon is sharp and can pick up little clues to figure out they're magics. No one else is worried and Jen decides to be ok with it. Things start to happen, Shannon starts putting things together and choas erupts. This is a must read! I love this book! I love how the author make reference to other vampire books. Some of my favorite lines: "Thomas shrugged. 'I like the cooked kind. But raw fish reminds me of congealed blood.'" "'That is the grossest description of sushi I have ever heard!' Shannon cried." "How long have you been twenty-two?" It was well written and a good length so I didn't get tired of it, but it left me wanting more! I cant wait to read the next book in this series!
