Maggie Parker is
learning to make magic and after a showdown with Simon Wesley, it’s clear she’s
running out of time. But nothing is going as planned.
Did she just turn a
mouse into a corgi? Oops… Magic is a lot more complicated than she realized.
Not only does
Maggie have to find the compass, she has to rescue a friend of her late father
who may hold the answers…before the world realizes she’s living on borrowed
time.
A Godwin Knight has
teamed up with Maggie and Bernie, swearing to protect the Elemental on her
journey, even as more humans wake up to their magic.
But Maggie needs to
figure out who she can trust, including that tall drink of water, Jake. She
needs a plan and fast.
Will she find the
other four Elementals in time to put the machine back together?
REVIEW
This one was even better the first book! Maggie knows about magic now but she still has no clue how to really use it which causes a real problem when it comes to getting the compass back. A crash course is required to learn it all but things are still happening making it hard to focus. Add in danger, secrets, and suspense to get a book you won't be able to put down. A perfect read for fans of fantasy and magic. I totally loved it so I give it 5/5 stars. Book three is going to be so awesome!!

Find the compass,
save the world or save herself?
For Austin robbery detective Maggie Parker, dating is harder than
running down a felon, even if the guy is worth it – just ask Jake. Now add in
magic.
When she finds someone breaking into her garage, stealing a favorite
wooden puzzle box everything changes. Did she just see a compass fly?
Can she learn how
to use the magic of bubbles to chart a new course in time? The mechanics may
hold the answer.
Her new quest: Rescue the passengers on an ancient ship – a big blue
marble called Earth – and save herself.
Recover the
compass, find the other Elementals and help decide Earth’s fate.
Simple? It’s a lot harder than it sounds. And there’s that fourth
date…
REVIEW
So
our main character is a robbery detective with some skills. Her day off
starts with a break in of her garage which changes her day and life as
she knows. She finds out all kinds of secret stuff which I must say is
where the interesting take on what Earth is comes into play. No spoilers
so that is all you get. Great world building, magic, and a story line
that keeps you hooked. Great for fans of fantasy. I really liked it so I
give it 4/5 stars. 
About Martha:
Hello,
I’m a bestselling author from Austin, Texas. I live there with the good dog,
Lois Lane and spend most of my time dreaming of Elves, Witches, Wizards and
other magical worlds. I was a nerdy kid from the jump, performing magic at my
little brother’s birthday party, saving up for DC comic books, inventing
elaborate 3D board games or making treasure hunts with a lot of clues that led
all over the house. Jeff was a very tolerant little brother who went along with
my schemes. In those days, we were known as M&J.
But from the day I walked into the
Philadelphia library and found out there was a place that would let me borrow
books to read, bring them back and get more, I was hooked on telling a good
story. My love affair with books has been a theme throughout my entire life but
my first taste of getting a review was when I was nine years old.
My Dad dropped off the three youngest of us at
the movies and drove off without checking the movie listing. It was 1960’s
style parenting… Turns out it was a Vincent Price triple horror feature in
black and white. Scary stuff in the day. Lots of blood and poisonous vines and
a little murder. My brother and sister insisted on leaving but I knew this was
the only movie I was going to get to see and I wasn’t budging. I stayed all by
myself.
The next week when we were asked to write a
Halloween story in school, I wrote my first thriller and filled it with all my
newfound knowledge, with a twist. My father was called in to explain and like
he did whenever he had to visit a principal for one of his kids (even if it was
his fault), my father the minister wore his collar. Bottom line… I saw the
power of words and weaving a good tale and just kept going. I mean, I scared
the teacher with a good horror story – Vincent Price style. The wheels started
turning.
Fast forward through writing for the
Washington Post, having a nationally syndicated column on politics, a few books
and FINALLY, I got back to that inner nerdy kid and started writing about Elves
and Wizards and magic again in the bestselling series, THE LEIRA CHRONICLES. A
little thriller, a lot of magic, some loyal friends, a swearing troll and a
detective named Leira Berens who never gives up and always believes in the
possibilities. All adds up to a really good time and feels like I finally came
home. A lot more adventures to follow…
