Medium is the second in the Wonderfall series. Rory is a Medium and new to the world of wonders. Shane and Ellis have been drawn together since they met, but can't quite complete their mate bond, not realising they're missing one important ingredient to complete it. Vampires are on the loose and with a wonder trafficking ring complicating things, finding time to complete their found family will be tricky, at best.
From the blurb:
Battling evil is a huge time suck when all you want to do is romance a couple of cute cinnamon rolls...
Most people consider mediums to be con artists. Heck, even my grandfather was pretty embarrassed when he had to admit my abilities were real—after he passed away of course.
So it’s a nice—very nice—change when I meet Shane and Ellis, who not only believe I can see ghosts, they have interesting abilities of their own. Bonus, they know how to help the dryad I rescued from an evil billionaire. It doesn’t hurt that they’re both sweethearts and easy on the eyes. Did I mention I’m polyamorous?
But I’ve barely had a chance to hint at how good the three of us could be together before our world gets turned upside-down. My non-magical best friend is all up in our magical business, I find out some guy has messed with my memories, we’re attacked by fanged fog creatures, Ellis gets kidnapped, and the three of us have to bond permanently right now or lose one of us forever.
We only met a few days ago, and no one would blame me if I ran.
But I’m staying right where I am.
Medium is a low-angst contemporary paranormal MMM romance with ghosts, magic, suspense, humor, day job issues, found family, Ms. Jackson, and Yo-Yos. HEA guaranteed!
The author recommends reading Seer before reading Medium for maximum enjoyment.
Rogue's review:
- MMM
- slow burn
- low heat
- paranormal
This is part of the Wonderfall series, and it's so closely connected to Seer - the first book - it's really best enjoyed after that book. I'm normally quite picky about my MMM but went in to this with an open mind, and I'm glad I did. I am loving the world building Bix Barrow has done with this series, I like D&D themes, I like their version of the different paranormal and supernatural species, and I like the characters created in this world. I really enjoyed this story too - Shane and Ellis we briefly met in the first book but Rory is new. Rory is the medium of the title, and the paranormal world is mostly all new to him. I liked how quickly he took to it though, and the possibility of fated mates too. He's already poly when he meets Shane and Ellis although it takes Shane a little longer to come round to the idea of a poly relationship.
There's also the side plot of the trafficking of wonders and breaking up that ring drives the story forward and includes Ms Jackson again - who is growing by the word - and a posse of ghosts including Shane and Rory's grandparents. This story was gripping, fast paced and while the relationship was fast - almost instant - it worked for these three and I really enjoyed it.
Angel's review:
When I read the first book in this series I was blown away by the uniqueness of the characters, along with the concept of the story itself. I was excited to dive into this book to learn more about this world Bix Barrow has created. And let me say, it was as amazing as the first one!
I will admit that the POV constantly switching did get confusing in the beginning, even though they were marked i got a bit lost in the beginning. But after I read more I was able to get fully into the story and I understood what was happening and who's perspective I was reading. Now onto the main story!
As I mentioned above I love how unique this world is that the author created. Each individual character is so unique and full of personality. All of the side characters are there for a reason, they provide dialogue along with adding a comedic undertone to the somewhat heavy (at times) plotline. They also help move the story along which I appreciated.
Pia is a sweetheart and I'm so happy that Rory, Shane, Ellis, and Ms. Jackson rescued her and took her in. They all formed their own little family and I adore them all. Ms. Jackson and Manny are tied for being my favorite characters. They both have such big personalities and quirks that make them who they are. I just absolutely loved any scene with them in it.
I enjoyed how there was more to this story than just romance. I liked how there was a mystery to be solved, how there were action scenes and battle plans, but how there was also scenes where Ms. Jackson, Pia, Manny, Ellis, Shane, and Rory spent time together as a family. The plot itself was really well done, I couldn't predict or figure out what was going to happen next, which I LOVED. I'm so excited for the next book in this series, I'm very eager to find out what's going to happen with Simon.
Something else I really enjoyed was the additions of each type of Wonder after a chapter. It was like having my own little dictionary giving me insight into the type of characters that might make an appearance. It really helped me learn about them and better understand those characters.
For those wonderful there are a few steamy scenes that occur throughout the story but it's not the main focus. (Which I really appreciated.) Overall this is a terrific MMM romance with a rescue, a mystery needing to be solved, plenty of romance, and a found family feeling.
