Caged Magic (Wing Slayer Hunters #5)
by Jennifer Lyon
Blurb:
Risa
Faden is a witch whose ultra-powerful shield magic is slowly breaking her mind.
But when her beloved goddaughter is snatched by a demon, she’ll risk anything
to rescue the baby—including lying to the handsome, intriguing stranger who has
the power to help her keep her sanity, save the child…and steal her heart.
Linc
Dillinger is a Wing Slayer Hunter whose sexy, rich, bad-boy charm hides a
treacherous betrayal that left him emotionally scarred. As a result he risks
his life to protect innocents, but is incapable of love—until he meets a
beautiful witch who can save his cursed soul. Risa’s fierce courage and loyalty
reaches past his barriers and he begins to believe she has the magic to free
his caged heart.
But
Risa’s lie explodes into dark danger that forces Linc into a hellish
high-stakes gamble: He must either win the witch he loves and her godchild…or
endure a loss that will destroy them all.

Demons, Paranormal

Review:
This book has been a LOOOONNNGGG time coming
but I was thrilled to see that the Wing Slayers were coming back. I found this series by chance a few years ago
and have enjoyed learning about this new and interesting group of
individuals. Lyon has an interesting
take on the relationships between witches, demons, and other paranormal
entities, one that is unique and I have not found repeated elsewhere. If you are coming into the series starting
with Linc’s story I will tell you there is a lot of detail to this group you
will be confused on, but there’s enough info to keep the story from feeling
boring or distanced from the whole series.
I liked Linc even though he is definitely a bad boy, because under all
his craziness is a heart that expands to let the best of people into it. He has dedicated himself to a lot of great
causes and is determined not to let his past drag him back into the darkness he finally
escaped. Meeting Risa throws him for a
loop, but when they join forces to battle the demon that has kidnapped her
goddaughter there is nothing that will stop them. I admired Risa’s willingness to do just about
anything, even lie to her new friends, so that she could save the baby, but I wish
she had gotten the chance to clear the air before tragedy strikes. The passion between Linc and Risa is
undeniable and the sweetness that we get to see between them makes their love
even more believable. I’m thrilled the
series has picked up again and am looking forward to more and to sharing this
great continuing series with my friends.
Keep the magic alive, Jennifer.
