A Shaman’s Power: Chronicles of an Urban Druid, Book 8

Storyline remins strong and varied with enough new or minor characters take bigger parts and we find out much more about them. This helps keep the storyline fresh in my opinion. Also this time Fi is not the only one creating problems. Her lovable brother, Emmett, gets a power boost from Dionisus, the God of wine and lust before a ceremony to renew a bond with the godess of fertility and a request for continued blessing of Ireland and ends up MIA for 5 day. Anyway I look forward to the next book in this series.I also truly appreciated that the slang/"vernacular" definitely was much decreased in this book. Adults just do not talk like that on a regular basis especially adult in occupations like police. They may use it when speaking to younger people on patrol but...enough said.

I am super appreciative that the writers have stayed away from the angst and wishy washy inner dialog that most of the MCs in this genre have. The MC has remained strong and likeable throughout this series. The story and pace of this one was good enough for me to forgive the little snip it of global warming preaching that was unnecessary to the story (it was only a couple lines but stuck with me, I think I'm overly sensitive to people sharing their PC opinions, even if they are right. This is my escape.) I really recommend this series if your looking for a break for the same old whiny MC. I also agree with other reviewers that this kinda felt a bit like a set up book at the end but it developed the story and I'll buy the next one.

I love this author and the humor infused in her books. FFF (Fiona, family and friends) are always good for a LOL read. Dramatic and horrible things may be going on but the family is on the case, kicking butt and taking names. The icky sweetness of her relationships might be just a tad too much, but it is Fiona so it must be so. Her family is the best kind...both blood and made. I love this series and although the cast of characters is getting rather large, the basis of this series leaves open doors for a continuing storyline as the family continues to forge a possible future for druids in an urban setting. Please keep these stories coming!

Adding Nikon and Dionysus to the mix, a betrayal by another immortal, and though little takes place in Toronto, these authors keep it interesting.When Scarlet takes one of the God-hunters and turns him into a chew toy, when Emmet and Ciara hookup and are found in Vanuatu, these are moments I remember and look forward to. You believe "Red" when she tells Tad that he can join the family if his Dad remains a dick, or that the heart of Gran can accept a 2000+ Greek immortal as another grandson, it is what we want the world to be, welcoming those who are troubled into a family.

If you enjoy reading about lots of magical excitement, plenty of an awesome family's exciting adventures with the love and understanding found in only the best families. A close group of family and friends the stretch from the traditions of Ireland to the New World of Canada. Sprinkle in a great storyline, that Kepler your attention. And all woven together with just the right amount of humor. Then this is a series for you!Each book has gotten better than the last. And all have been even better when reread while waiting for the next book. Highly re omens!

An excellent series! I like doing reviews of the entire series as I finish the storyline. I love the snark of the main character Fi and all the sci fi films references she makes. The storyline is so enticing that I had a hard time putting the books down- I wanted to see what happened next, and next.... There are a lot of Irish and Ireland myths and legends presented, including the occasional foods and meals specific to Ireland. And the best part of that was the fact that the meals and foods were real and you could find the recipes online! Lots of Family Love and support, lots of adventures, lots of magic and feel good moments. Throw in Greek and Irish gods and people from all Walks of life and the reading never stops. Looking forward to book 9 and maybe up to 12 or more. Bring It On!!!! Thanks!

Fiona attracts trouble and then works with her boyfriend an family to fix whatever trouble has shown up. I love all the action in these books and the humor is great and adds so much to them. In this book they have to work on keeping a seal closed that is weakening and starting to let in evil. Once again fighting and magic ensue. Love this series and am very excited that they have extended it.

Fiona and the gang are always so much fun to read I can't wait to dive into the story and I'm always sad when it ends because I just want more and more. This 1 was especially fun With the introduction of some new people .

Another great instalment in this series. Everything seems to be heading for an explosive situation. Fi and the fam have fun plus fighting and mayhem.

Love the snark and interaction between the characters. The family dynamic is awesome and the stories are gripping.

this time I have to admit that I wasn’t as satisfied with how it ended. After everything that happened, the tropical rescue and family time just seemed a bit out of place. However, that gripe aside, I loved that we got time with Dart and Patty. Gran and Lugh are sweeties, and even Wallace was pleasant. Nikon is rockin’ his new lease on life and after Sloane coming into his own over the past nine months - dear Lord, has it only been nine months 😳 - someone else is now starting to reassess their future, and Emmitt does something really stupid... well, more stupid than usual.The big bad in this story looks like it might be continued an upcoming book or two, and I am so looking forward to seeing the fallout from the different threads set up in this story.

This book is so good that I have it on my wish list and check every week to see if the next book has been released. I honestly binge read the book, then get sad when the next hasn’t been released. This series is the type where the adventures don’t get long and overdone. Each crazy action of the Clan flows well within the timeline and the interaction with the characters are excellent. As Fiona has a history of doing the insane I personally believe she should go to the underworld, and explore the different afterlives, and maybe get to finally say goodbye to her brother and play around with that aspect. Anyways, one hundy recommended to anyone that wants to become emotionally attached to the MC and the entire character cast.

YESSS, once again Tempeste and Anderle take us on a heart tripping ride in the the life of Fiona. And once again it is soooo good that it has to be read in one sitting. Fiona is fast becoming one of my favourite characters that I love reading about when having a hard day. She takes her hard day and ups the ante to nail it and the evil that comes with it. Bring on more of Fiona and her family and friends, there will never be too much.
