The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . OF FLAME AND FATE
(Weird Girls, Flame, #2) . . . The adventure continues. The intrigue of the next calamity to hit
the world had been released. There’s a deeper sense of danger,
intrigue, growth, mischief. There’s something here that was not so prevalent in
the previous installment of this Flame series to the Weird Girls. I feel a
shadow has come over things. I had a gambit of raw, sad emotions overwhelming
me throughout the read. There was much to get involved in in this Urban Fantasy
and this group of women that had strength, balance, each other.
I believe that anyone could pick this up and read this and enjoy
if for what it is a very good Urban Fantasy with very strong leading ladies,
but to get the most of the read. I would recommend that you start from the very
beginning of the Weird Girls series.
If you can begin with the novellas and work your way up to the present release.
This way you are there for the journey at the beginning. You can see how the
world changes and becomes more, deeper, darker, more evolved. You have the
chance to grow to love all the character and their quirks, insecurities, strengths,
weaknesses, and more.
The Wird sisters have their own challenges to moving forward. We
get to see a new phase in their ongoing drama with the dark side. The secondary
characters are full of witches, vamps and more of the paranormal world that adds
more flavor to the series. Keeping tabs on the others from the previous reads
in the series was an added bonus. We are more or less seeing thing from Tarans’
view point.
I find myself in need of a Weird
Girls weekend or two to get reacquainted with the girls and the series.
This sounds like a plan for the new month coming.

Taran Wird, who commands the power to
wield fire and lightning, is an oddity in the supernatural world. But neither
Taran nor her unique sisters compare to the bizarre entity known as Destiny.
And Taran is assigned to protect her.
Born of two witches, Destiny is revered among the supernatural elite for her acute ability to predict the future. Her biggest prophecy involves Taran’s sister, Celia, whom Destiny decreed will bear children strong enough to take on the evil that’s rising. Yet Destiny is not alone in her predictions, or individuality.
When Johnny Fate, a rock star among humans and a male version of Destiny is discovered, his powers and Destiny’s clash, triggering the start of Destiny’s demise and altering the fate of Celia’s unborn children.
Taran, her werewolf lover Gemini, and their allies must determine if it’s Fate who will decide what will become of Celia’s children, or if their lives and the world will perish with Destiny.

Excerpt
OF FLAME AND FATE
Copyright
© 2017 Cecy Robson
The doors crash open as a
pack of weres in human form stomp in, the exception being an immense,
midnight-black wolf with a white left paw who leads them. His lips peel back,
exposing a row of pointy fangs as he growls at the vampires surrounding me. But
it’s the man storming forward with dark almond eyes and a six-inch dagger in
his hand that gives me pause.
“Hi, honey,” I say, giving
him a little wave.
Funny thing, he doesn’t
wave back. His gaze swoops over my naked body. “Hold her,” he snarls, ramming
the knife into my thigh.
Reality shoves aside the
shock of having the man I love stab me in the leg. Like a heated blade through
butter, he slices through the skin and muscle, creating a diagonal line and
spraying blood across the glass shower walls. I expect pain, scorching
white-hot pain, and to lose my blood supply in large volumes. But like the
creepy crawly beneath my skin, I just feel that wretched pulling and grabbing.
My bleeding trickles to a
stop just as Gemini’s hand plunges deep into the incision. The image is so
graphic and brutal my stomach lurches. I’m seconds from passing out. The vamps
on either side of me are the only thing keeping me vertical. But when my focus
latches onto the hilt of the dagger, and I realize it’s a femur—a freaking
femur!— my body immediately slumps.
Of course, that’s not the
worst part.
The tangle of bodies,
limbs, and faces, carved around the hilt twitch, as if seizing, breaking free
of what’s holding them to slither. Oh, and it gets better. The mouths open,
singing one messed up version of O Fortuna.
“Jesus Christ,” I gasp, my
body trembling violently as their slowly amplifying voices echo across the
room.
Agnes grips my jaw, yanking
my face toward her. “Taran, get it together before you set this whole place on
fire.”
I wrench my head free.
“Don’t you think I’m trying?!”
I bite back a curse, and a
few more, when something scampers toward my right butt cheek.
It doesn’t get far. Gemini
thrusts his hand deep, wrenching a large, screeching lump from my leg,
exciting the minute faces continuing to sing and slide along the hilt. Their
voices crescendo and their bodies writhe with glee. I don’t get a good look at
the demon impaled by the dagger, and I don’t want to. I only see enough to
realize I was right about the spindly legs and pinchers.
Gemini carries the
shrieking demon to the sink, ignoring the way the long cluster of centipede
legs kick out and clutch blindly at the air. I wish I could ignore it. But
those things you can’t unsee? I’ve seen plenty in my twisted, messed up life
and this is one more to add to my list.
Gemini holds out his free
hand. Without asking, a vamp drops an opened bottle of vodka into his palm.
Gemini pours the vodka over the demon, stunning it and causing the legs to fall
open like petals—nasty petals covered with blood, pointy grippy ends, and
little bits of me.
With a turn of his wrist,
he drops the demon into the sink. It falls with a sick plop.
Agnes’s weight abruptly
pulls off me when she stands and hurries to the sink. She flicks a lighter
another vamp tosses her and drops it on top of the demon. “Ad infernum,”
she tells it, sending it back to hell.
The vamps step away from me
as the flames spray up to lick the ceiling. The exception is Edith who remains
on her knees, clutching my leg between her breasts and sealing my wound with
several fast and enthusiastic strokes of her tongue.
“Get away from her,”
Gemini demands. His voice is more beast than human, setting off an orchestra of
snarls from the rest of the pack.
Like a very hungry dog with
a bone, Edith doesn’t want to let go. Gemini doesn’t give her a choice. From
one breath to the next, he rips me from her, wrapping me in a blanket someone
hands him and carrying me away.
