Cover Blurb:

Luke and Marcus are asking the impossible of me and I can’t do it. I don’t have that edge to my soul where I can switch off my emotions. I know before I even step foot in the Elder Court that I am doomed to fail. But then I meet an ancient witch, one with power so great, I cannot fathom what she is capable of. When she offers to teach me everything she knows, I give in. Abandoning everything in my life to chase after dreams of wielding forbidden magic, I follow her into the unknown, thinking only of how accessing this potent sorcery will aide me in my ultimate goal. By the time I return, the life I left behind is in tatters. Not only do I have a job to finish, but I have relationships to repair. If they will let me. I always knew that with great power comes great responsibility, but it never entered my head that it also comes with great sacrifices… This is the fourth installment to this thrilling series. If you need to know more about this passionate, magical, emotional journey, then don’t hesitate.

Love, Lies and Family Ties By Author C. J. Laurence – Book Review

I was so thrilled when book four in this fantastic series arrived in The Book Dragon, and even more so when I was asked to review it! Since I read the first book in 2022, I’ve been gripped by the story of Caitlyn and the supernatural cast of characters who surround her.
With the action mostly taking place outside of Whitby in this instalment, it has a slightly different feel and I’d say it’s definitely the darkest in the series so far. As Caitlyn starts to contemplate the full extent of her powers, she must face new fears and make exciting discoveries.
With appearances from both familiar and famous faces, C.J. continues to expand the universe she has created, filling the reader with a sense of awe and wonder. There were moments I couldn’t help but imagine how it would feel to be in Caitlyn’s position and wield such power and responsibility. Her abilities do have a few perks, however.
Being able to create a meal or an outfit with the use of magic would make life a lot easier!
As this riveting book raced towards its conclusion, I was eager to see what cliffhanger C.J. would leave us with this time. What unfolds sets the stage perfectly for book five, which will be the final book in this brilliant saga. Do yourself a favour and catch up on the other four first, so you’re ready for the grand finale!

I award 5 stars.
