The Uncanny Raven Winston: The Cassie Black Trilogy, Book Two (A Humorous Paranormal Mystery) Paperback – 7 April 2021

Continuing on from book 1 Cassie is called to HQ in London. In the Tower no less.There she meets a dead Beefeater who has all the history wrong, so wrong it is very funny. Like the White Tower is called that because it was full of white people ;-)Follow her through trials and training, with mixed results.Another great read from Tammie.I received an arc copy of this book

Having enjoyed the first book, I thought I would try the second. I wish I hadn't bothered. Unoriginal and cliched.

I loved this trilogy of books so much I consumed them over a few short days. I enjoyed the characters, style of writing and crafting of this hidden world, plus the humour employed by this wonderful author. I find myself wishing that it will turn into far more than a trilogy. 10/10

She's only made things worse.Cassie's training is not going to plan. Her boss has been beaten up and seriously injured by thugs after a magical artifact and her snarky attitude has sorely tested Protland's magical community. So when Cassie is summoned to Magical HQ in London, everyone seems to sigh with relief.But why would it get better? Cassies ability to jump to conclusions in a single bound, her refusal to follow instructions - or, god forbid a rule - gets her in hotter water than before. Thank goodness for the invisible raven.A magical romp with plenty of laughs and a heaping helping of snark.

I ordered this second book in the trilogy before finishing the first so that there wouldn't be a moment's lapse. I enjoyed it as much as the first, and now need to get the third. It's easy to become part of the world in the book, and I was engaged with the characters. Well written, no complaints about that. It moves along, makes sense, doesn't insult my intelligence, doesn't make me feel like I'm reading a HS essay for a creative writing class.

I flew through this book like it was about to be taken away from me. The characters are quirky, the world is imaginative, and the mystery makes you want to keep reading. This series is definitely one of my favorites now.

As our heroine continues to learn (and be tested for) her magic, the fun and confusion never end! Who is a friend? Who is an enemy? A frenemy? The mystery continues to grow. And the delicious, sweet goodies! If you've read the first book in the series, you have a good idea of the fun involved. So enjoy this second volume: I'm off to read the third! See you soon...A+ Bravo!

In book 2 of the Cassie Black series, Cassie finds herself heading to the Magic Headquarters in London, where the powers that be hope to better train her so that her out-of-control magic can be contained. Meanwhile, she's determined to learn more about what happened to her parents.As in book one, Cassie's personality shines as an awkward, socially inept young woman who masks her insecurities and past traumas with sarcasm and distrust. And she has good reason for her trust issues because in the magic world, not everyone is who they seem. The reader, too, isn't sure who to trust, and this uncertainty makes the book a definite page-turner.Painter is a great world-builder, and her sharp, witty prose delivers a fun ride. I look forward to book 3!
