Hello
happy readers! I hope you all had a good
weekend and if you celebrate a Happy Easter.
We are finished with March and into April now. Time seems to be going at super speed in some
areas and inching along in others. As
for time for reading there is never enough, but that said I did enjoy
participating in a Facebook read-along with the authors for Society of Wishes (Wish Quartet #4). I am still
enjoying the chats on the group page but once you hit a certain part it's hard
to not keep reading and finish up.

The
age old saying is be careful what you wish for.
Well Josephina 'Jo' is a hacker-for-hire in a very different reality
than we know, a fractured US. Then one
day on a job her best friend and her are caught and as bullets rain down she
uses her last breathe to make a wish, something she remembered from her
grandmother in days past. Her wish is
simple enough to save her friend and she will accept the price no matter the
cost. The cost, she is now a member of
the mysterious Society of Wishes set to live among the other members in a
separate time space and use her gifts to help grant future wishes. Though she is given the plush new digs and
can do pretty much anything her new home lacks one major aspect…freedom and
purpose. Checking in on her friend to
ensure her wish was put to good use she finds him about to attempt the same
task that got them both killed to start with.
Now what do you do when interfering is against the rules?
This
was a quick read for sure and I did really enjoy the concept. A magical society that grants wishes that
alter the reality. I loved the idea of
them being from all different worlds and time periods and each with their own
power. The way they live is rather
unique and we are only just getting to know a few of them as Jo learns her place
and tries to accept her new reality.
This book is more about her than anything else. There isn’t some big bad guy / evil to face
down just a new reality to accept that basically tears apart everything you
knew in the world.
We
are still getting to know this world but this was a good start. I can see the start of some much bigger
questions and I look forward to watching unfold. The characters have peeked my interest and I look
forward to learning more about the other members of the society and the society
as a whole. Thankfully the sequel, Circle of Ashes, comes out next week
April 9th so I won’t have to wait long.
Until
next time…
