Book Reviews of Embrace the Night (Cassandra Palmer Series, Book 3)
Book Review: Another great episode in the Cassie Palmer series!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am never disappointed by Karen Chance's Cassie Palmer series. It is urban fantasy at its best. The cliffhanger endings always leave me wanting more! I can't wait til the next one is out.Book Review: Awesome
Summary: 4 Stars
Another action packed adventure!! I finished this book in 2 days. I loved seeing a different side to the war mage Pritkin. He has a softer side and a demon side. Seeing things heat up between Mircea and Cassie was nice. Of course it also helped Mircea from dying. Great addition to the series.Book Review: Awesome once again
Summary: 5 Stars
Embrace the Night (Cassandra Palmer Series, Book 3) Karen Chance has done it again! I have been haunting my local bookstores for weeks looking for this book (the release date kept changing in my area) and I was not disappointed in my wait. Cassie is a strong character who succeeds even when she doesn't think she is going to and who drags the reader along for a thrilling ride that keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat until the last page. (Although I will admit to figuring out a couple of things before she did!) I was very pleased to see the return of Pritkin and loved finding out so much more about him (and no I won't say anything else, because you need to go buy this book). I was a little worried about becoming confused during all the time jumping, but Ms. Chance handled it with aplomb and I never lost track of where Cassie was or who she was with. And I loved how she handled it a few times when Cassie jumped herself and someone else back in time--instead of telling us with a header when they were, she had the characters tell us in dialog. I also loved the way the action started right away from the beginning of the book and barely slowed down.
All in all...I hope this series continues because I am looking forward to reading many more adventures with Cassie, Pritkin, and Mircea.
Book Review: Back to the beginning with Cassie Palmer
Summary: 4 Stars
Cassandra thought she'd just been in the wrong place at the wrong time...turns out tho, that her being made Pythia was actually the culmination of some truly long-range planning. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and was waiting anxiously for this one. I enjoyed the book and must give kudos to the author for weaving a complex tale. She did a great job of weaving together the threads that had been cast in the first two books. I was breathless when I finished.
Cassie, as Pythia, can travel through time. Unfortunately, she never got any training and if there was a manual...well, let's just say that apparently nobody wants her to have one. Instead, it seems that all the people she meets just want her to trust them to tell her what she needs to do. The problem with that is she's not sure who, if anyone, she can trust. Cassie is involved with vampires, demons, faeries, talking skulls, magic books...well, the list is really endless.
But this is not a mindless tale of love. Everything is not laid out plainly--the intricacies of actions taken while traveling back in time are brought home in this final book. I can't say much else without giving away too much. I will say that I'm not sorry I read these three books and I hope the author will give us future glimpses into Cassie's world.
Book Review: Best book of the three so far in this series!
Summary: 5 Stars
Non-stop action involving mages (magic), witches, vampires, casino life, time travel, Fairies, humor, love, intrigue....you get the picture. This was the best of the three so far and I can't wait until the fourth book is published. Karen Chance has turned into a very good author with an original story and memorable characters. There is a ghost that wasn't the best of gamblers in life (swam the Mississippi w/extra baggage attached to his feet), an acerbic white war mage sworn to serve/protect Cassie Palmer (now the Pythia, chief seer, of the world), vampires, a love spell/curse, court intrigue - you name it. I highly recommend this book and the whole series.
