About this audiobook

All Stacy Justice wants to do is recover from the bizarre couple of weeks she's had-a whirlwind kicked off by the arson attack on her cousin's bar, the Black Opal. But just when life should be settling down, a fourteen-year-old girl named Ivy appears on Stacy's doorstep, claiming to be her sister. Ivy says their mother's life is in danger and insists that the family's magic is crucial to saving her. Sure, Ivy has Stacy's fiery red hair and green eyes-but is she really her sister? And can the secretive teen be trusted with magic?

Then a man is found dead at Stacy's grandmother's bed-and-breakfast, and she has no choice but to see where Ivy's story leads. Strange warnings appear at every turn, including the disappearance of the family's Blessed Book, and it seems someone is out to kill Stacy --again.

Picking up where Opal Fire left off, the second book in the spellbinding Stacy Justice series dazzles with even more magic, mystery, and mayhem-revealing the dark secrets of the Geraghty clan.

    From Lilac Wolf and StuffYou all know I love these covers. I wonder if the authors are creating them or paying for a service. Well either way it's eye catching and you can recognize Stacy Justice from the Opal Fire. And yes, please read Opal Fire first, this is the 2nd book in the series.The story is so fast paced that you barely catch your breath before the next thing happens. But it's not a very long book, so it works for a fast read. Just a couple minor errors, so it's well edited.What I really, really, really love though is the humor. Stacy makes me laugh, so much so that my husband started asking me what I was reading. And sometimes I just piped up and read it to him.This book really has it all. Little bit of romance, a big mystery, witches, and humor. Again, make sure you read Opal Fire and then this. I think teens can handle this as well. I didn't feel it ever got so gory, violent or sexy that a teenager couldn't handle it.

    A very entertaining, fast read. Stacy has a great sense of humour and snark and the characters that surround her are all interesting on their own. I found the first half a bit tedious, because I found the character of Ivy to be silly (but really, what 14 year old isn't?) but throughout the second half, I was fascinated - the ties to history, legend, myth, just kept me reading.

    I look forward to the third book in the series.

    I didn't really like Ivy's little entries. I think it was all of the capital letters where there didn't really need to be capital letters.

    All this mess for a page in a book seemed a little much. Murder, near murder, and people lying all over the place. It was none stop action but there were some points that I was a little lost (okay, a lot lost) The zombie powder was an interesting addition. I don't think I've ever seen that in fiction before (I've heard of it, since it has a voodoo connection and I have a friend with interest in voodoo).

    This book added a lot of new stuff to this world, after I was thinking I'd like to read a book that only has one thing in it. I don't mean that there are vampires and werewolves in this book, but the history this book relates to was a little much.

    Spoiler Alert: Again there are unavoidable spoilers in this review. I have hidden them on Goodreads and they will be redacted in my blog, but elsewhere they will remain. You have been warned.Book Info: Genre: Paranormal mystery/chick lit Reading Level: AdultRecommended for: fans of paranormal mystery, chick lit, those interested in witchcraft and Celtic lore and legendsTrigger Warnings: murder, violence, shootingAnimal Abuse: I do not at all approve of how they treat Moonlight, Stacy's cat. She keeps forgetting Moonlight even exists (takes Thor with her everywhere, but when she takes off at the end of the previous book with Ivy, she doesn't even think of Moonlight and, (view spoiler) we don't even hear mention of Moonlight until well into this book), and then during the denouement, (view spoiler) Stacy and Ivy flee the scene without even stopping to make sure Moonlight had left the room and was safe.My Thoughts: After not liking the first book in this series, I was somewhat reluctant to continue, but this is a series that must be read in order, and I need to read the third book for the Amazon Vine program, so I took a deep breath and dove right in.I'm fairly sure that there is no small town in existence that is quite as wacky as Amethyst, Illinois. It is wacky to the point where you just want to shake your head and listen for the laugh track because it is way too sit-com-ish. It is wacky to the point where I frequently almost dislocated my eyes due to rolling them. Seriously, who puts the Three Stooges as part of the police force, even as citizen helpers? (I'm talking about Ned, Jed and Jeb here) Those sorts of things.That said, this book was better than the first book, if only just. Stacy is still acting like a TSTL* heroine most of the time, and it's really annoying how Birdie and the aunts don't tell her anything, but that is rather an Irish/Celtic thing to do. I like how we're finally learning a bit more about the whole situation, the Seeker, the Guardian and the Warrior, and I really like the details about Celtic history and culture that is thrown in, since Celt mythology is something about which I have been fascinated for decades. If you enjoy paranormal mysteries, chick lit, stories involving witchcraft and Celtic lore and legends, you'll probably enjoy this series. Next up: Tiger's Eye .Series Information: This is book 2 in the Stacy Justice series.Book 1: Opal Fire , review linked here where formatting allowedBook 3: Tiger's Eye , review to comeBook 4: Emerald Isle , scheduled for release in 2013Disclosure: I picked this book up when it was on a KDP promotion. All opinions are my own.Synopsis: A long-lost sister. A missing mother. And murder.Stacy Justice finds herself caught in a web of deceit, betrayal and family secrets that run deeper than the Mississippi in this follow up to Annino's debut novel, Opal Fire .Not only must the reluctant witch determine if the teenager on her doorstep is her sister—she's forced to confront her mother's disappearance—again. Add to that a dead guy in the kitchen and Stacy's at her witch's end. She's pretty sure the Blessed Book of her family's ancestry holds the key. Except she can't find it. And if the killer does—it may be over Stacy's dead body.Is Ivy really her sister? Where is Stacy's mother? And what does the dead guy have to do with it all? *TSTL = Too Stupid To Live
