"Crossroads and Curses by L. L. Gray, Smoke and Shadows
The Cameron Blaze series continues with her in a race against time to fulfill her bargain with the djinn, Barqan, to bring the Scroll of Solomon to him before time runs out or risk losing her magic forever. Of course Sloan, her best friend and Leprechaun, is along for the adventure as well as her werewolf boyfriend Magnus, to assist and have her back on the journey. Her fire drake Ember gets his own side adventure which is both joyous and melancholy for Cam. This is a slow burn in the beginning, reacquainting us with her continuing quest and lining up help to pull this off. The action is slow to materialize but once it does it doesn’t stop and had me turning the pages as fast as I could read them. You’ll meet an old, unexpected friend to guide her along the way which is yet another reason this series needs to be read in order from the beginning. Liz has the most incredible imagination which comes through in her character development along with the creation of the different regions Cam has to trek through in the Abyss to get to Barqan’s prison. The scenes are well crafted with great action and suspense. Her signature humor is always in play and it is enjoyable to read the often snarky, clever exchanges. Watch for some subtle foreshadowing about her coming interactions with both Maksur and Kabus…friends or foes? Read to find out!
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Don’t miss this next chapter in Cam’s adventure."
