Hello
happy readers! Well it has been a crazy
weekend to be sure. Three days of all
day adopt-a-thon action which will leave you surprisingly sore each day and a
double birthday party for my bestie ad her smallest mini-me. That said while I sit in my comfy robe and
sit on ice I am finally able to type and post my review of a recent release for
you! That book in question is Shifter and Glyphs (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum #2) by Christina Bauer. I previously reviewed the first book Wolves and Roses and the following
novella Moonlight and Midtown which I
highly recommend as this is a series I really enjoy and look forward to
continuing on in but even more the author is one of my auto-buy authors!
Rating: 5 Stars
Bry
is about to start school, real school for the first time and it's all she has
dreamed of for so long, but the dreams she has had her whole life of pyramids
and papyri have turned much darker. It
should be enough to worry about with three different types of magic to work on
and an inner wolf who wants to chomp on a 1/3 of your classmates but that's not
enough pressure for Bry. As the equinox
approaches and those she love most seem to be in danger Bry must step away from
her dream of school life and solve the mystery of her life and the attraction
to the pyramids or face untold consequences for herself and the world.
So
Bry has her un-shredable outfit to help ease her modesty should she have to
shift and her best friend, her mate, and her newest friend all with her in this
endeavor that is school. And the search
for the fountain of course. Things
should go well. But Knox has been
looking rather unwell as of late and the nightmares Bry has and can't remember
are only making things worse. The sense
of time running out and the search is kicked up into high gear. Everyone's magic is acting a bit wonky as the
equinox approaches.
Things
move quickly as we have fights of will, power, and kick butt action. Still the characters are why we really care
as much as we do. I love Bry for sure
but I think I love the best friend dynamic between Bry and Elle above most else. They are friendship goals and remind me of
some of the stuff my bestie and I would say and/or do though less magically,
like make fun of people in horror movies doing the stupidest things….yep that's
us. Then you have Knox because you can't
forget the sexy werewolf mate! Speaking
of mate the inner conversations Bry has with her wolf had me rolling most of
the time. Like she has a literally voice
in her head trying to convince her to do things, like chowing down on your
mates ex, when they pop up. Knox and Bry
the story is sweet and amazing as always, he could save me anytime! And Alec who is basically Knox's Elle. Their brotherly dynamic is on point and adorable. Plus no matter how hard they try to play as
friends Elle and Alec are super cute and impossible not to ship.
We
dig deeper as we approach the conclusion to the fountain search. Things that are translated always have
multiple meanings as anyone well knows but in this care old papyri is no
exception. Mysteries are solved, truths
revealed, and life templates are put to the test. I was so excited to go on this ride for the
search for the fountain and the hope to fix magic. And maybe get a little bit of normal high
school time if you're lucky! So I can't
say much else without spoiling things and that will not do. The book flies by so pick it up and give it a
go!
Until
next time…
