Lisa Shearin - Bewitched and Betrayed (2010)


I've missed pure fantasy novels. Elves and magic-users, rogues and thieves, goblins and demons, it's all in this fantasy series. This is book four in the Raine Benares novels.

Raine is a seeker and a finder. If it's lost she'll locate it, whether it's an object or a person. She's an elf who comes from a long line of thieving pirates, but they're a close family. They stick by her and love a good brawl, especially in a brothel! And, since Raine is accidently bonded to a soul-sucking stone that every goblin and his demon wants to possess, she's often in the midst of a good brawl. Fortunately there's always a nearby tavern to take the edge off once the fun is over.

I can't say too much more without giving the best parts of the book away. The author is strongly descriptive and has a fantastic sense of humour. It's a great read. I really cannot wait for book five, but i'm trying not to send the author any "Hurry Up!!" emails... today at least.
