Lost Moon: Book Two in a Post Magic World

LOVED it! A great paranormal read on a strange planet in the future where technology is sorely lagging (eek!) Luckily, the settlers have developed certain abilities which allowed them to survive...and now cause friction with newer colonists. Nikta Kozan is a girl who likes to hike and get the job done, delivering mail as a special courier. Since she can get into places most can't, she's been tapped by the local PD to help on certain cases. This works for her because her brother is also a cop, and she's trying to mend their relationship...Family connections are a big theme in book two of the Post Magic series. There's less romance in this one than the first, but some really steamy flirtation that sets up some interesting things for the future. All-in-all, this was a really fun book, with plenty of twists and surprises to keep you guessing, fab world building and interesting themes that make you think.

Nikta is back and ends up caught in the middle of things as she goes about her usual job of traveling everywhere. I loved how the story again made it so easy to believe I was right there with Nikta. Loved how we get to check in with her family, friends, customers and the creepy people we met in book 1. I found the beginning to be funny and the rest of the story addicting and fun to read. Laughed and groaned a few times as well. Just a well written story that mixes the best of steam punk, changeling characteristics, mystery, magic and police stories and mixed in a strong streak of a space opera scifi story. The ending was good as expected. I really liked the story and writing style.

Another great book from Ellis Logan. This is the second book in the Post Magic world series and can be read as a stand alone, although I prefer reading it as a part of the series. The character development is excellent, the world building is wonderful, and I definitely recommend it!
