Blood & Honey by Shelby Mahurin

Hands down my favorite book in the series thus far!

After narrowly escaping their death at the Chateau le Blanche at the hands of the Dames Blanches. The gang is once again on the run from the coven, entire kingdom of Cesarine, and the church. In order to reach their goal of defeating Morgane, they must acquire alliances with other groups within the magical kingdom. Which means they have to separate into groups in order to accomplish this task, leaving them more vulnerable and Reid and Lou apart. Their separate journeys are not only physical but emotional as well. They’re all trying to run away from things, the death of an actual father and a father figure, Reid’s newfound magic and the ramifications, and Lou almost being murdered by her mother...again.

This book was absolutely my favorite in the series! I almost devoured the entire thing at the airport and had to pace myself over thanksgiving break! The day I finished it was the day I ran to my Barnes and Noble to get the third. In this book there is an array of new characters, a deeper understanding of magic, different magical creatures in the kingdom, and so much more. The new individuals we are introduced to really help flesh out the entire story and adds to the character development of existing characters. The twists and turns are worth pushing through any stalling bits you might encounter.

Lullaby by J.L Bryan (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #7)

As always, the team discovers there are more ghosts in the house and that one hunts children, and they need to stop them before they try to kill again. All while figuring out where the now dormant Anton Clay is hiding. Once again Bryan just absolutely knocks it out of the park with this new addition.
