Blood Prophecy Book 2 of The Witch Fairy Series edition by Bonnie Lamer Children eBooks

Another YA Contemporary Fantasy sequel that I liked better than its predecessor.

BOOK DETAILS:
Blood Prophecy by Bonnie Lamer, read by Emily Durante, published 2014 / Length: 6 hrs 4 min

SERIES INFO:
This is Book #2 is the (very long) "Witch Fairy" series. So far, the first 4 are available on audio, and there are indications that more are coming.

**This review contains spoilers for the previous book.**

SUMMARY:
I liked this one more than the first. There is more going one & more people involved. Plus the initial antagonism between the original characters is mostly resolved.

CHARACTERS:
Xandra: We know from the start that she's a special snowflake with a prophecy about her. I like that her unique heritage continues to cause as many problems (magic/power wise) as it solves. (Although I do think that things are sometimes resolved a bit too easily, and that the others should be allowed to participate more.) She continues to be more than a bit of a smart-alec.

Kallen: There are novellas that tell each story from his POV. I quite liked the one for Book #1, which is the only one I've read so far; and which actually improved my rating of the original book. The problem (for me) is that they aren't available on audio. So I personally wish the material was simply integrated into the main books.

Without the information in that book, he is a very typical YA hero - tall, gorgeous, powerful, adoring. With it, he is much more interesting. I like that he takes her emotional temperature, and defends her father.

Xandra & Kallen: They really still barely know each other (and come from very different backgrounds), so they naturally have misunderstandings of various magnitude throughout the book. I like that, typical teenage response aside, they always get around to talking about it.

It is interesting to watch Xandra & her parents try to find a new dynamic. She is still only 17, but has become very powerful. And their foolish choice to keep her in the dark about her heritage still stands between them somewhat. I really like her (human, ghost) Dad.

WORLDBUILDING:
Like the first book, this takes place almost entirely on the mountain where Xandra was raised. The first one introduced witches & fairies, this book eventually adds a third group (I won't say who, to avoid spoilers).

We learn quite a bit more about the witches government here. And also more about their kinds of magic. Note: I was thinking that the poetry of the witch spells was kind of lame, when Xandra called out that very thing.

PLOT:
This book beginning the next morning after the previous one ended. The beginning did a good job of getting you up to speed (Xandra even says, "long story short")

The ending resolves the current problem completely, but then throws in a new element.

HIGHLIGHTS / CAUTIONS:
--Kallen is safe from one of her spells (and the reason).
--Zack (her little brother). I wish he was in it more.
--Xandra fit the punishment to the crime (and recognized that there's a legitimate need for some of her opponents).

I COULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT: I still seriously question the wisdom of sleeping together when you don't intend to have sex. (This is especially true when a lapse in control would mean you were automatically married, and you aren't ready for that. Note: Xandra specially expresses that she thinks the whole sex = marriage thing is out dated.)

OTHER CAUTIONS(?): There is some heavy making out.

NARRATION:
Character voices differentiated = Yes / Opposite sex voices acceptable = Yes. The grandfather sounds gruff and very grandpa-ish to me / Accents = She does a good "bad British accent" / Phrasing, Pacing & Pronunciation = Good / Emoting = Good / Speed = Good. My usual 1.25 speed is a bit fast

Blood Prophecy Book 2 of The Witch Fairy Series edition by Bonnie Lamer Children eBooks Reviews

I really like the series. The first book got me hooked and I got for free. This second book started off good but it just seemed that the writer got a bit lost in thought and wrote those thoughts of ' what if' down in the book in the 17th chapter. In chapter 17, she went off of the track of being the good guy to just being a bully and trying to personally 'punish' the 'bad guys' individually. She forgot that 'good guys' are suppose to be 'better' than the 'bad guys' and not put themselves down to the same level as the 'bad guys'. I really got tired of the childish, immature way she started to deal with them so I just skipped on the 18th chapter. It didn't get much better. I will not be buying another book in this series.
Wow! What a WONDERFUL follow-up to "True Of Blood"! I Loved it! The author has done it again with the 2nd book in the "Witch Fairy" Series! There was plenty of magic action, plotting, mystery, with a touch of romance. Truly an enjoyable 2nd book!

Well Xandra may have defeated the Fairy's and sent them back to the realm where they belong. But there's still people that want her dead. And this time it's Xandra Grandfather, King of the Witches. She getting real tired of her family trying to take her! But this time instead of two Fairy's trying to kill her, it's 8 of the most powerful Witches known in the world. With Xalndra still coming into her powers she has her work cut out for her!

So will Xandra be able to take on the most 8 powerful Witches or will they finally be able to take her out??? Will Xandra finally get to live a happy free life or will this only be the beginning??? Well if you want those answers your going to have to read on in the series and find out. Trust me you won't be disappointed, I wasn't!
Blood Prophecy (book #2) picks up seamlessly from True of Blood (book 1), which is an amazing talent that most authors do NOT have. Ms Lamer carries on with the romance and adventure of Xandra and Kallen, without boring me with tons of background. I also feel that a reader who has not read the first book of the series could immediately pick up an interest in the plot with just enough of the background to avoid confusion. However, I HIGHLY recommend reading this series in order so you can savor the entire world of the Witch Fairy. I did read all of the books back to back and may have had serious withdrawals if I had to go more than a day without reading this series.

In this book, Xandra meets her grandparents and learns the mystery of her mother's past as well as an understanding of why her life has been sheltered. Many questions in my mind from book 1 are answered in this book. I enjoyed the witch magic as well as the fairy magic in this book. I love the fact that Xandra's magic is special and unique. It is so much fun to see what is next with her magical apprenticeship. There was a variety of subplots to keep my interest as well as the innocent romance between Xandra and Kallen. I enjoyed all of the characters and was thrilled to see them continue in the series.
Yes, I realize this is written for the ...uhhmm....very young. Howsomever...I am breathing heavy on 68 yrs of age and enjoyed the heck out of this series. My only complaint is that the ending was so abrupt. If there is going to be another book in the series, I guess I'll just have to live with it. If there is not, let me introduce the author to a writers' tool called an "Epilogue", to tie off loose ends and answer questions. The writing is clear and well done--none of the language aberrations sometimes used to make young readers feel comfortable--like, you know, 'Valley-speak'? (ACCCK! PTUI!) Great characters that even an old bat can get into and enjoy. Keep them coming, please...the possibilities for future stories are almost endless.
