Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Conspiracies by Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill



This is most definitely a YA book.   That is not to disparage it but a caution that it may be a bit juvenile and if that turns you off , you should be aware of that fact. Spirit White is still magic-less at a pseudo Hogwarts Academy that appears to be infiltrated by the bad guys.

The story is as much a relationship story between friends as a urban fantasy.   The core group of Spirit's friends are impacted by the arrival of alumni claiming to be there to protect the students from the forces of evil.  The identity of the forces of evil seem to be tied all the way back to the legend of Arthur and Merlin.  

There are some confrontations and very mild violence but there are deaths.  The story is more captivating than the first book in the series.  

I recommend the book.

See my review of Legacies book one of the series. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
