Industrial Magic (Women of the Otherworld, Book 4)

Industrial Magic was awesome. I sense a pattern with the books in the series. The first book introduced characters, the second book was the high stakes adventure, the third book introduced another set of characters, and the fourth book was their high stakes adventure. Naturally, Industrial Magic was full of adventure, violence, drama, and romance. It was fun, thrilling, and unpredictable. 

 I loved Paige and Lucas in Dime Store Magic and I knew the plot was gearing up for something quite large. I’m eager to see what happens to Paige and Lucas as the series goes on, though I realize the next book will be a new character with new adventures. Still, I got to see Elena, Clay, and Jeremy in this book, so I’m hopeful the pattern of older characters joining the new ones will continue.

 The witch world that involves vampires, sorcerers, Cabals, demons, bodyguards, and necromancers was a complicated one, but I loved the connections and complications. Lucas attempted to avoid his father’s legacy, the Cortez Cabal, but his attempt to do justice brought him to Miami to help solve a case. From there, the plot thickened. 

 Lucas and Paige worked really well together and I still love them as a couple. I liked Jaime, though it took me awhile to warm up to her, and I even enjoyed the bits with Cassandra, despite hating her in Stolen. Vampires had their own issues and it all made sense once you thought about it. Cassandra wasn’t a bad person, but she was so disconnected with everything because of her age that it made sense for her to be a bit more callous than other supernaturals. 

 I highly recommend the series. I have to stop for now and move onto other series because of time, but I love that I can stop on a good spot and return to the series at any time. It’s a long series, but it’s separated into pairs and I know when I pick up book 5, I won’t be lost. It’s an awesome urban fantasy/paranormal series and I’m so glad I picked it up!

In the aftermath of her mother's murder, Paige broke with the elite, ultraconservative American Coven of Witches. Now her goal is to start a new Coven for a new generation. But while Paige pitches her vision to uptight thirty-something witches in business suits, a more urgent matter commands her attention. Someone is murdering the teenage offspring of the underworld's most influential Cabals, a circle of families that makes the mob look like amateurs.

This book is more of a mystery type book plus the supernatural and the awkward meeting of the boyfriend's family. There is someone killing Cabal kids (Cortez's father's empire of really rich sorcerers). First it starts out as half-demon employees and other supernaturals that aren't sorcerers being killed; which means that they aren't particularly worried about it. But when a sorcerer son dies... 

Someone REALLY has it out for the Cabal empire. 

Paige and Luke are at it again with special appearances by some werewolves, vampires, necromancers, clairvoyants and shamans. Just settling in with Luke and Savannah at an apartment, Benicio, Luke's father, surprises Paige and peaks her interested in the case explained above.

There is a bunch of everything in this book. They meet some vampires that embrace "their true nature," aka they sleep in coffins and don't come out during the day, a clairvoyant who only uses her powers against her employer, and the extension of Luke's family (which is VERY messed up).



Gore, Weirdness, Ghost...

oh and you meet the narrator for the next book!

Kelley Armstrong's writing is something I can't get over. She makes you view the story from one pair of eyes, manipulates how you feel about a certain scene while also making you laugh at every page. I would love to learn from her how to make things come alive on the pages as she does. 

Still my favorite series to date. I can't wait to read the next one!
