The first one sucked me right in, and I love this one even more. But what&#8217;s true of the covers is just as true of the books!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Anise is still in Taos, but her previous adventures did not leave her unscathed. Without spoilers (for either this book or book one), she finds herself more deeply immersed in the world of magic, becoming more aware of its darker side\u2014whether she wants to or not. Now she\u2019s struggling to figure out how she fits in, who she\u2019s going to be, and what exactly is happening to her powers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B078CJB22D\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=trashdogs-20&amp;linkId=f7b55695b29b5612e3fa538750b463ec&amp;language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"button\">Amazon<\/button><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/book\/id1319659435?at=1001lNKT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"button\">iBooks<\/button><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/ebook\/sugar-spells\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"button\">Kobo<\/button><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/sugar-spells-lola-dodge\/1127561971?ean=9781943858163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"button\">Nook<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The first book, <i>Deadly Sweet<\/i>, intrigued me enough to request the second. With <i>Sugar Spells<\/i>, Lola Dodge\u2019s Spellwork Syndicate series has become one of my fun-read favorites. I wanted to see Anise come more into her own, learning from past mistakes and making better choices, and she\u2019s definitely doing her best to rise to the hero\u2019s call. Better yet, she\u2019s doing it believably, with her own personal style. Anise is never going to be a smooth, cut-off-your-head-with-a-scimitar kind of heroine, and she isn\u2019t trying to be. She just Anise, only, you know, more heroic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The world also becomes richer in this novel. We get to see a bit more of the different kinds of magic, and we\u2019re introduced to a few new venues. But my personal favorite thing is that we get to delve deeper into characters who weren\u2019t fully explored in book one. Anise\u2019s future in Taos is on the line, and while she\u2019s had friends here from the beginning, it\u2019s time for her to start building a real team\u2014if she wants to survive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Loved it, loved it, loved it! Can\u2019t wait for book three!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Nobody pays us to recommend anything.
