Broke Bones: A Fun, Fast-Paced Urban Fantasy: Blood and Magic Book Three (Blood and Magic Series 3) Kindle Edition

by Lauretta Hignett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 2,593 ratings
The Beast has awakened.

Word has reached the mortal realm, sending shockwaves through the supernatural community. The Beast is stirring, and gathering his dark troops towards himself with a single-minded purpose: destroy all the magical creatures on Earth. He's awake, and promising bloody, furious vengeance.

Prue's mom was the witch who sent the Beast to sleep in the first place, and she's in a coma. Somehow Prue needs to decipher her riddle-filled diary to figure out how to put the Beast back to sleep again before he rampages through the realms committing genocide.

As if Prue didn't have enough on her plate.

Her evil sister is threatening legal action for the most mundane of reasons, and a mysterious figure from Max's past shows up with a kid in tow.

Oh, and there's an ifrit on the loose, torching whole city blocks. That one just might be Prue's fault.

Finally, the mighty Prince Salozar Winterborne, Fae Diplomat of DC, seems to have developed an insane schoolboy crush on her. Things are getting awkward.

Broke Bones is book three in Blood and Magic, the fun, fast-paced urban fantasy series.

About the Author

Lauretta Hignett is a raving fangirl for all things paranormal, supernatural, magical, and fantastical. She writes fun, fast-paced urban fantasy-unique, kick-ass characters and madcap adventures with a dash of romance and loads of laughs. She's a massive fan of anything shifter, witch, or vampire, she loves a plot twist, hates cliffhangers, and always keeps her listeners on their toes. When she's not writing, Lauretta enjoys crazy fad diets, sunshine, her two little children, weird craft projects, and massive amounts of dark chocolate. You'll often find her staring into space or muttering to herself in weird voices. Just ignore her. She'll come back to reality eventually.

    Well, I was not expecting the shocking development at the end of this part of Prue's saga!!! She was Very, Very Busy in this book dealing with more challenges from different directions than she could possibly deal with. (But she did. Because she had to. And she is very capable. Thank goodness.) Yeow. Talk about a deluge... Thankfully, she got a little time for her relationship to progress with her beloved Max. (Very satisfactorily!!)

    This series (as all of LH's series) continues to be on my "most anticipated" release list. I love her writing, the world she has created, the way she has built on the characters from previous series and created new ones from them. Such a great combination of quirky, fun and very serious topics. Such great story arcs!!

    I love everything about this series and the wonderful, unique characters she has created!!

    I felt sorry for the FMC in this book because her sister was such a jerk to her. she did find out who framed her in high school, then her sister ended up, suing her and taking her to court, and they had a crazy fire demon burning everything down. Unfortunately, the FMC blamed that on herself as well so she figured she had to fix that mistake. I always like the mystery in these books and they always seem to be pretty fast pace. I’ll be reading the next book in this series.

    Poor Prue is so overloaded in this book. Not only are there a bunch of things going on, they're all going on RIGHT. NOW. PRUE. YOU. HAVE. TO. COME. NOW!!! She handled it a lot better a lot longer than I would have. So much is revealed in this book - or did that start in #2? I don't know - I'm reading one book after the other and not reviewing right after like I usually do because I need to get to the next one immediately!

    In any case... a LOT is revealed as this series continues, flabbergasting not just me but the characters, too! I'm so glad this series is complete because I would NOT want to wait to read the next one! So exciting. Did I say it's exciting? Because it is.

    (I feel like this review isn't as much of a review as it is "OMG why are you reading this review instead of the book just go read the book already you know it's going to be SO GOOD" So sorry. {not} )

    So the story is as good as the others in this series. It's going to be a fun fast ride in the world of Bones. It's a mess of solving one problem just to have 5 more pop up and no time for any of them. There's some unexpected plot twists that have me wanting to read the next book even more than usual.

    Well, Prue certainly has an interesting family tree. Her sister is probably a sociopath, definitely an abuser, with goddess only knows how many victims in total, and her (biological) father is <redacted>. Certain weird events are starting to make a horrifically lot of sense. Ex: Why does her mom's book collection have info about <redacted> birth rituals? Why did she read the <redacted> children's stories to Prue, but not the others?
    Sorry for the redactions, but trust me, you'd rather find out on your own. The plot thickens, the you-know-what gets deeper, and poor Prue is teetering on the edge of a dark abyss. She only trusts a few, but they are here for her, including the new, very um... unique nestmaster of the vampires. Her shifter love keeps her grounded, and her friend Chloe, well, she may need her own spinoff to tell all about the mess she's been in. Even our friendly (NOT) neighborhood Gothflower is a source of comfort. And she's finally hit rock bottom (in the last book), so now there is nowhere to go but up.

    You can tell that a story is well written by the emotions it causes you to feel. I really want to love all of Prue’s stories because they’re so well written. But dang, the abuse from her sister is really HARD to take. How can any sister, especially a big sister who’s supposed to take care of her baby sister, how can she break that social contract so hideously?

    And that’s how I know this was written so well — it breaks my heart in a thousand pieces to see the pain that Prue has to endure at the hands of someone who should love her. In this third book, their relationship comes to a head as they face each other in a courtroom and a jury has to decide which sister is telling the truth about the past.

    How much is too much? Prue is about to find out how much weight her bony shoulders can take before she breaks.

    This chick definitely doesn’t have life easy. You know how some people rise above adversity & achieve amazing things, Prue kind of smashes through it, throwing all the pieces in the air & watches them land in new puzzles that still seem to target her. This is a really enjoyable series & there are some pretty unexpected twists in this book that will keep you wanting more. Plus a real nail biter of a court case! Next please…
