Review of Soul Magic by Poppy Dennison

Soul Magic (Triad #3) by Poppy Dennison 5*
BLURB: Blood runs soul-deep. Cormac hasn’t been the same since the night the High Moon Pack was attacked. With his magic weakened, he’s consumed by a bloodlust he hasn’t felt since he first became a vampire. His need to replenish his power makes him a danger to his last remaining family member, and his hunger makes him careless. And that’s just the beginning of his troubles. Feeding from pack beta Liam Benson was supposed to slake his appetite, not leave him craving more.
Simon Osborne and Gray Townsend are trying to fight a being history says shouldn’t exist—one with all three types of magic. The pack must use all of their resources to combat the mysterious triad, even turning to the shady Council of Mages for help. While Cormac struggles to reconcile his past failures with his current desires, Simon must attempt the impossible: an alliance between mind, body, and soul.

My Review: Well I thought I had it all worked out but Poppy Dennison managed to surprise me with her last book in Triad. It had all the same feel of the first two books with an added frisson of danger and excitement that really made me glad I bought it before I truly had my book funds. The way Simon, Gray, Cormac and the pack fought against the enemy was well thought out and the epilogue was a truly wonderful way of rounding off the story o that there were no loose ends. I really recommend reading all three books in order as soon as you can if you like magic and paranormal beings in your romances.

Body Magic (Triad #2) by Poppy Dennison 4*

BLURB: A pack is only as strong as its weakest member. Rocky Harris knows how the system works. He’s been on the bottom rung his whole life. But when his alpha consigns him to the High Moon Pack to help them improve security, he finds his beliefs not just challenged but outright assaulted.
Cade Montgomery’s confidence took a hit when the pack’s cubs were kidnapped on his watch. He’s prepared to do anything to protect his family, even if it means working with Rocky. Maybe Cade doesn’t trust Rocky, but with the turmoil surrounding pack Alpha Gray’s unpopular decision to break tradition and mate with a mage named Simon, Cade knows more threats are coming.
Then someone declares war on shifters and puts the entire pack in danger. Cade and Rocky will need each other’s strengths to survive the impending battle—and the power of their growing attraction

My Review: I actually listened to book one of this trilogy a while ago and really enjoyed it. So much so that I got this as soon as funds allowed so that I could read more about Simon and Gary and all the other characters I had grown so fond of. Book two did not disappoint me as it took the overall story arc along an interesting path and the romance between Simon and Gary grew as well. The romance between Rocky and Cade made an interesting addition to the main story and I look forward to reading the conclusion of both storylines in the next book.
