Harley Merlin and the Secret Coven

Product Information

I liked the arcs of all the characters. Finch's as how he was hated in the first book and now is my favourite character. How he grew! Erebus as how he was seen as something scary and on the list of do-not-summon to a sort of friend. I heard it was something like HP but with a heroine, I didn't expect anything from it (High expectation is poison & it was YA), but I was curious anyway (one of my reasons to add it, even if not initially) or a modern "Merlin" retelling sort of way, & it was more like The Magicians (still haven't read it fully) or a witch tale (well, hello??? coven?) (even had a Shadowhunter vibes) rather than the "Potter"-esque feeling. the only similarities to HP was that there was magic school-setting & it's hardly a similarity, many books have magic school-setting & many protagonists have no parents.. though knowing this, I could see other little similarities in minor details, but if I hadn't known, I wouldn't have thought it was inspired from HP. I had suspected that this would be the end of this iteration of the Merlin anthology... But also not the end of the Merlin saga. I suspected this would be an open-ended conclusion to Finch's story and I'm so glad it was. I loved the ups and downs, and the book kept my attention. I couldn't tell what was going to happen next! I loved Finch and thought that this was an amazing book to finish the series. This author is amazing!

Persie thinks she is going to learn to hunt and control the monsters she purges, but she and the whole institute learn ever so much more about both monsters and themselves. These books are supposed to be for young adults, but this old lady is enjoying them too. So I would recommend the who!d series to young adults and the young at heart. This book doesn’t have anything to do with the next Harry Potter, as it is advertised, but definitely “borrows” one too many concepts and ideas from Harry Potter and is incredibly predictable. The author starts this book with a small synopsis of what transpired in the first book, making it easy for those who didn’t read it to understand whatever is happening. All the characters in the first book are more fleshed out, especially Tatyana, who remained a bit of a mystery in the first book.Bella Forrest will resume publications in April, starting with Harley Merlin 21: Persie Merlin and the Dying Song. Similar to Book 2, which is narrated in the alternating first-person points of view of both Harley and her teammate, Tatyana, this book is narrated in the alternating first-person POVs of both Harley and her teammate Santana, whose magical powers come from powerful spiritual entities called Orishas.

The Writing Style - After about 50% into the book it stopped bothering me because the plot was engaging but it seriously bothered me until then. It's clumsy and lazy. Speaking of Ryann, she and Lux do almost all the work in actually stopping Davin. I guess it'd be too much to assume that a plan that involves trusting Apollo would work well, but Lux really bails the group out of just about everything because she decided to adopt mindfulness and forgiveness as her policy. Maybe I should have noticed that Ryann being so blasé about repeatedly passing out was a sign something was up. Maybe having the one regular human in the group (at least, the one who was like that for most of the series) save the day is supposed to be inspiring to all the regular humans that read these books, but being completely blindsided by how the heroes outwit a scheming villain isn't that satisfying.

The writer here essentially told us this not a "good school clique" vs. "bad school clique" thing but something more "complicated", a dynamic that she promptly forgets to demonstrate anywhere and went on to ignore completely for the rest of the book. These are all the Harley Merlin books in this extensive series in which Harley is the main protagonist: Bella Forrest’s original series, A Shade of Vampire, has over thirty books in it now. The series was named after the title of the first book in the series. The protagonist, Sofia Claremont, has just turned seventeen when she gets trapped in a nightmare. While in the dream, she meets a mysterious creature with pale skin. Sofia is then swept away to The Shade, an island that has been bewitched to prevent the sun from ever shining. The Shade is controlled by a coven of vampires that are the most powerful in the world. Sofia becomes a captive on the island and is soon taken to the dwelling of Derek Novak: a vampire prince who craves power and Sofia’s blood. Sofia finds his home a safe haven rather than a prison, and realizes it is by far the safest place on the island. To continue surviving, Sofia must swoon Derek and win his trust. If she succeeds, she will live to see tomorrow. If she fails, she could meet the same kismet as all the other girls who have been involved with the Novaks. Sofia and Derek’s story is followed throughout the first seven books in the A Shade of Vampire Series. With the help of Wade and her new friends, she must figure out who the traitor is and why they're targeting her... Before the human and magical worlds dangerously collide. Harley’s most important characteristics, which make her a very sympathetic protagonist, are: compassion, courage, and enough conviction in her mission that she never gives up or sits on the sidelines. This is true of Santana as well, though, right from the first, it is obvious that, of the whole team, including Wade, Harley potentially has the most magical power of any of them.
