“Clio might be a nymph living in exile among humans. And she might possess the rare ability to mimic any magic she sees. And she might have just seriously ticked off the most powerful family of spell weavers in the Underworld.

But she is not in love with an incubus.

Lyre is the rebellious black sheep of said weaver family, and he’s the only reason she survived her recent Underworld “vacation.” He’s also the sexiest thing she’s ever seen. Together, they have to track down a catastrophically dangerous magic–a magic he created, she sort of stole, and they both lost–before his family gets their hands on it. And that means fighting alongside him in a desperate attempt to avert complete disaster.

But she is definitely not in love with him. At least, she’s pretty sure she’s not.

Mostly sure.Maybe sure?…Crap.”

This is the second book in the Spell Weaver trilogy. I have been really enjoying this series. It is a fun and easy urban fantasy read. I enjoyed learning more about Lyre and Clio.

In this book Lyre and Clio have fled the Underworld and are looking for a safe haven as well as trying to figure out how to retrieve Lyre’s potentially world-ending KLOK device.

I loved getting to spend time in the Overworld, it was very magical. I also really enjoyed the chemistry between Lyre and Clio. The storyline here is pretty simple.

Marie’s strengths have always been writing amazing action scenes and having wonderful chemistry between her leads and that continues in this book. While these books aren’t masterpieces…they are quick fun reads that I always find very entertaining and enjoyable.

Overall this was another entertaining read by Marie and a great addition to this series. I really love the characters, the action, the spell weaving, and getting to journey to the Overworld. I would recommend this series to those who enjoy lighter urban fantasy reads.
