![]() ![]() ![]() When she is summoned home to participate in the Awakening, an initiation of sorts for young witches, Lena finds much has changed. Though she keeps a journal, the dreams are fragmented and difficult for Lena to decipher. During her time away, Lena is haunted by enigmatic, violent dreams. Needing respite from a complex and heartbreaking set of circumstances, Lena leaves her coven to pursue a college program in botany. The reader is first introduced to Magdalena, a young witch estranged from her coven. I was totally hooked from start to finish, completely enthralled by the story of Magdalena Fitzgerald and the dangerously dominating Lucian Blackstone. This book was my absolute favourite summer read. Playing with Monsters is the first installment of Amelia Hutchins’ newest paranormal romance/urban fantasy series. If nothing outlined above bothers you, carry on and enjoy the ride! If you can’t handle the ride, un-buckle your seatbelt and get out of the roller-coaster car now. If you’re looking for cookie cutter romance, this isn’t for you. I don’t write love stories: I write fast paced, knock you on your ass, make you sit on the edge of your seat wondering what happens next books. ![]()

In the Old Testament KJV, NKJV and ESV (and several others too) the LORD is always written in capitals, referring to the Lord God Almighty, not the Lord Jesus Christ. To end up in the Messianic line ~ wow! God redeemed her in a powerful way! While knew all this before, this story brought it out in a vivid way that really spoke to me afresh. I really liked how her faith was portrayed and how she held fast against all the odds, and how she dared to reach out to the God of Israel, despite her past, and because of that she became a woman with a great future.
