Magebreakers series

 Magebreakers series by Ben S. Dobson

The Flaw in All Magic

4.5 Stars

I love this book but I think I'm suffering a bookhangover from the last book so I just couldn't give this a 5. It's a very good fantasy book but I'm stuck in UF land. However none of the UFs in my TBR list grabbed me. This did. Which is why I read it so fast after my March book.  I was in the mood to read and this hooked me and kept me reading. 

In this world Magic is persecuted/frowned upon in all countries but the Protectorate. There are every imaginable magical/mystical creature/beings populating this world but not all of them have magic. The Protectorate however is mostly comprised of Magical people and has a University dedicate to teaching magic.

The main MMC is magicless but had fooled the University into believing he did. He was expelled but he managed to make a small living as a magical consultant. Then an impossible murder happened at the University and he was called in. There he met the main FMC who was one of the campus guard(and a non-magical Orc) They combine their talents and go after the murderer. 

The rest of the books of this 5 book series is in my TBR list now. I will read them as I have the money and time.

D'Accio Investigations series

 D'Accio Investigations by R. D. Chapman

At Any Cost

5 Star

This book is the first and only book out so far but I loved it. It does switch POV from 1st person to 3rd person a little over half way through but I was so invested that I didn't care. I look forward to more books by this author with this MC. This MC was well rounded and 'human' and the pace was just right.

In this world most of the people are shifters. However the MC is a Zero, or a Zero plus to be exact. He is not a shifter, but his senses, reflexes, and strength is stronger than a normal Zero. His wish was to be in Law Enforcement but he was turned away from every one so he became a private investigator.

He is hired to find an Heiress socialite who disinherited her family and became a recluse on her boat. OF course he found her. However he hadn't expected to fall in love with her.   But it wasn't to last, she was murdered in a hail of bullets. The rest of the book is him seeking justice for her.

I plan to read any other books that come out in this series as they come out. I was sad to finish this book because I enjoyed it so much but was satisfied very much with the ending. AS I said I look forward to more books about this MC and this world.
