Ever had ex-housemates you can’t get rid of?

When Killian and the rest of the Drake vampires kicked me out of their mansion without any explanation, I felt beyond betrayed…

I was livid!

But I refused to waste my energy thinking about them. Thanks to all the free training I got while living with vampires, I had the skills I needed to finally free my family. I even got my house back! Best yet, I can pass on the magic techniques and fighting skills I’ve learned to all the wizards in our group.

As long as I ignore the rotating vampires standing watch on the corner across the street, life is normal again…until the fae risk injuring hundreds of supernaturals just to stage a surprise attack on Killian.

There’s no way I’m going to let the fae get away with this. I may be furious with Killian, but I hate bullies even more.

But, big surprise, my good deed won’t go unpunished. I knew I’d face a fallout for saving the most feared and lethal vampire in the Midwest—I just never imaged the lengths Killian would go through to protect me and win me back…

Magic Unleashed is the final book in the Hall of Blood and Mercy trilogy, which features vampires, wizards, fae, and werewolves. It’s packed with humor, adventure, and a sweet, slow burn romance between a vertically challenged wizard and the deadliest vampire in town.

Book Review:

K.M. Shea has done it again by sucking me into another great series. Let’s just say that Magic Unleashed was a perfect end to an amazing series. You got to see Hazel and Killian’s adorable HEA which I have to say took a long time. The end of the second book had me worried about their future together, but it was definitely worth the wait. I loved seeing the end of this series played out with plenty of action, romance, and always K.M. Shea’s hilarious humor.

Magic Unleashed is the third book in the Hall of Blood and Mercy series. It’s an urban fantasy series about a vertically challenged wizard, and an extremely feared wizard that I recommend reading in order. It picks off soon after Killian kicks Hazel out of the Drake family mansion. She is still furious with Killain, but when the fae attacks him, she can’t stand by and do nothing, so she decides to help him. And Killain is not about to let Hazel go a second time.

This book was so good! I loved seeing Killian and Hazel’s slow burn romance finally pan out. It was adorable to see them work out their differences and learn how to trust each other. I really loved how Hazel held Killian accountable for his mistakes. She forgave him, but she made it clear that he couldn’t keep his behavior the same. And I loved how Killian was willing to change for her. Their romance is also really clean which is hard to find these days.

And you get to see more of Hazel’s House, who are hilarious, with the Drake family. It was awesome to finally see Hazel and Killian’s world collide. Plus it made for some hysterical scenes. I loved seeing Josh and Celestina again too. I will never get used to Josh’s obsession with death especially because he can’t die. I just adore K.M. Shea’s gift for irony and satire. I really like how none of her books take themselves too seriously.

It was definitely an amazing last book that perfectly finished the Hall of Blood and Mercy series. It gave you a satisfying end to Hazel, Killian, the Medeis House, and the Drake family. It also concludes with the fae world still in pieces which is great because a new main character will come to clean it up. Leila is half human and half fae, and her books will also be a trilogy and come out in late November. I can’t wait to see more books in this world. I’d like to add that the book is really clean, but the word ass is used a bit. Other than that there is no language.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Magic Redeemed (Hall of Blood and Mercy Book 2) by [K. M. Shea]

Title: Magic Redeemed
Series: Hall of Blood and Mercy #2
Author: K M Shea
Release Date: March 20, 2020
Genre: Paranormal Vampire Romance

I thought life would be easier after I unsealed my magic.
Spoiler: it’s not.

I want to free my family from my traitorous cousin, but with all the allies he’s got guarding his back, even my new powers won’t be enough to beat him. My best bet is to use my parents’ signet ring to prove my claim of leadership.

There’s just one problem…

I can’t find it!

Things aren’t looking so good for my vampire housemates, either. As Killian Drake’s conflicts with the fae get worse, it’s clear that war will break out soon if something doesn’t change.

Plus, Killian has gotten really weird about smelling me and invading my personal space. Every time he comes near my heart almost pops out of my chest, but I’m sure that’s just terror caused by being so close to the most feared vampire in the region.

At least that’s what I keep telling myself.

So, I’m a wizard searching for a ring while trying to survive living with a bunch of vampires and their deadly and suddenly touchy-feely leader. Yeah, life is definitely not easier.

Hall of Blood and Mercy is a finished urban fantasy trilogy featuring all your favorite vampires, wizards, fae, and werewolves. It’s packed with humor, adventure, and a sweet, slow burn romance between a vertically challenged wizard and the most lethal vampire in town.

Book Review:

I have just decided that K.M. Shea is now one of my new favorite authors! She is such a perfect blend of humor and heart. Plus the characters are just amazing. She gives them the funniest banter, and she allows them to have such personality. All with a plot that has plenty of twists and turns and incredible world building.

Magic Redeemed is the second book in the Hall of the Blood & Mercy series. It is about a wizard named Hazel and a vampire named Killian Drake. Hazel is the heir to her family’s wizard house, but she has been forced out and is currently living with Drake family. She used to be a super weak wizard, but she recently received her magic that had been hidden from her. Unfortunately, even with her magic, she can’t get her house back, and Killian is currently acting very touchy feely which is also weirding her out. Of course not because she likes him just because he is a super feared vampire. At least that’s what she’s trying to tell herself.

I loved this book so much! Seriously, I think little heart emojis are popping up when I think of this book. Seeing Hazel and Killian together was adorable, and I really liked seeing the dynamic between Hazel and the Drake family. Plus, the Paragon, oh my gosh! the Paragon. Let’s just say that the name Aphrodite has a whole nother meaning to me right now. He is one of the funniest characters in the book, but it is so clear that he is way smarter than he leads on.

The plot of the story was also gorgeous with so many twists and turns, but also, never too much that I can’t enjoy the main story that is playing out in front of me. The action was great, and I have to say that Hazel is such an amazing female protagonist. I loved how strong she always is, and she’s short which is really not important, but there are not enough short characters. So, as a short person myself, it was very nice to have a short protagonist.

It’s also really refreshing to have a healthy romantic relationship. I think that K.M. Shea always does a great job of making sure it’s clear that the romance makes them stronger not weaker. The girls can love someone, and the guys can protect them, but it’s not because they’re weak it’s because they’re worthy of protection. Also, it’s a super clean slow burn romance. They do use the word ass a couple times in the book, but other than that there is no language.
