Publisher's Weekly Review

This omnibus collects the first four novellas of Bellet's series featuring Jade Crow, a comic and gaming shop owner and sorceress, into a lighthearted paranormal romance story that gradually becomes more serious. Jade once belonged to a group of crow shape-shifters drawn from various Native American tribes, but she's been exiled. She hides from a dangerous former mentor, Samir, in a small Idaho college town that's home to shape-shifters, witches, and a leprechaun. Threats mount as a warlock tries to draw power from captive shifters, a malignant spirit seeks vengeance on Jade's grandfather, and the werewolves fight among themselves to name a new Alpha of Alphas. Meanwhile, Jade tries to define her relationship with Alek, a weretiger sworn to uphold shifter justice. Bellet infuses her prose with multiple shout-outs to geek and gamer culture, and the tone of her ensemble resembles Buffy the Vampire Slayer's gung-ho Scooby Gang. But Jade gains power to face Samir by eating the hearts of sorcerers she defeats (with jarring references to the Catholic liturgy around Communion) and Alek is the one who must choose between duty and love. Fans of urban fantasy will be drawn to this intriguing series. (Oct.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Library Journal Review

Jade Crow resides in small-town Idaho, running her game and comics store. She lives a quiet life, for many reasons. She loves her games and her friends, and she used to enjoy her magic. However, Jade is hiding from Samir, the most powerful sorcerer in the world, one who happens to be her former boyfriend. To grow in power, sorcerers eat the heart of another wizard or enchantress. A heart like Jade's. The only way she can't be found is to not wield her skills, but danger arrives in different forms, threatening everything she holds close, unless she turns to her magic, which will lead Samir right to her. Facing her ex may be a losing proposition, but without her friends there's little chance of survival. VERDICT This omnibus collects the first four books-Justice Calling; Murder of Crows; Pack of Lies; and Hunting Season-of the Hugo Award-nominated series. With solidly drawn characters and robust short- and long-term story arcs, these titles will introduce urban fantasy readers to a fantastic series.-KC © Copyright 2016.
