The Edge of Fate (The Beacon Hill Sorcerer Book 8) by Sheena Jolie


Never one to turn down a return to the Beacon Hill Sorcerer series, this story is a great addition to the Salvatore clan storyline. A budding romance, and more action as the series rev's up to the series finale.


From the blurb:

The penultimate book in the bestselling Beacon Hill Sorcerer series is here...


Fenric Feralas has a problem—either agree to assassinate the Necromancer of Boston, or lose his head. Taking the job under duress, Fenric heads right to the Necromancer and hopes to exchange what he knows for information about two old friends—only to come face to face with one of them in the midst of another assassination attempt.

Cian Brennan is not expecting to see Fenric—they last parted under extreme circumstances, at the dawn of a war that nearly killed Rory, and managed to drive Cian mad. Cian committed several murders while not in his right mind, and he’ll be paying for it for the next thousand years.

Fenric spent over two centuries believing the Brennan twins dead, and when given a chance to reconnect with Cian, he takes it. He refuses to waste the second chance Fate has thrown his way, and his single-minded pursuit of Cian isn’t as unwelcome as it might've been—Cian has missed Fenric just as much, and he’s ready to see where Fate takes them, together.

Dealing with an army of assassins, a precocious dragon, a petulant preteen necromancer, and a High Council of Sorcery that wants what Cian has is more than enough to drive anyone apart—but Cian and Fenric are ready to fight for their second chance at love and life.

The Edge of Fate is not a standalone title and the Beacon Hill Sorcerer Series should be read in order. A second chance, action adventure MM romance. 96k words.


SNik's review:

Seventh in series (The Beacon Hill Sorcerer), must be read in order. Paranormal. Second chance. Asexual representation. Found family. Multiple POV’s. 

A further continuation of the Beacon Hill universe overarching storyline and the extended family surrounding the Salvatore clan, this story focuses on the budding relationship between high Sidhe Cian and his longtime friend cat-sidhe Fenric. After Cian’s redemption from his experience of almost losing his twin Rory he has become a ferocious protector of his brother and the Salvatore clan as well as a tutor to the youngsters of the clan, and we meet an equally capable Fenric and we get to see that centuries apart has not lessened their interest in each other. 

I really enjoyed all the action, all the clan interactions, and especially the moments where Cian and Fenric are on page together slowly falling into a romantic relationship. There was a good balance of following all the members of this series as well as allowing for the budding romance, so the read was entertaining and left me ready for the finale.
