After leaving Erris in the good and watchful care of Torin and the Damphyrs at the end ofFate Fixed (The Erris Coven Series), we renter the magical world of Bonnie Wheeler's imagination, picking up where we left off.  Book One is Torin and Lexie's story, Book Two -Blood Twist (The Erris Coven Series)- is Liz and Bradan's.The Good:  This author is gifted at creating authentic, likeable characters that permeate the entire book.  I love Liz.  I loved her from the moment she showed up and helped out.  I also loved how she interspersed current events and people into the story like a 'fictional brooding Salvatore' (snicker) and David Beckham.  Once again, she told the story from three separate points of view and did so masterfully.  Whereas in the first book, she had to spend a fair amount of time setting the Paranormal scene for us, Bonnie pulls us into the story from the very beginning. The good times were VERY good and the Dramatic moments were VERY dramatic. I was so involved in the story and the way she wove her magical storytelling skills that I could not put it down.The Bad:  Again, not too much to say to the negative.  The only thing I really do not like as much as I wanted to was the romantic relationship between Liz and Bradan.  The relationship between Lexie and Torin was sparkly and magical and well, destined.  Liz and Bradan's relationship seemed more forced and less organic.  I still liked them as a pair just not as much.  Maybe it was just me.The Snuggly:  In this book, Liz and Bradan have some baggage to overcome before their relationship can really take off.  Liz does not trust easily, especially males and Braden has been keeping a large and dangerous secret from his family for quite some time.  Of course, from the moment they meet, they cannot keep their mind off one another and eventually their hands. ;)  Their romance is sweet and al-most fated...maybe that is what I sensed was lacking.  Again, as this is a YA book, the intimate moments were appropriately handled, with very little detail and within the scope of the story.The Rest:  This book was as amazing as Fate Fixed or more so.  Once again there were twists and turns that were totally unexpected.  If you have not read Fate Fixed, there is enough information given that you will not be left in the dark - but why would you want to miss out on an awesome book like Fate Fixed?  Once again, although a YA Paranormal Romance, I would shy away from having young teens read it due to the violence and heaviness in some parts of the storyline.  The rest of you are in for a fabulous ride through the Erris Coven sky!  5 Stars, 2 Flames*Note: I received this book in exchange for my unbiased and honest review.  All opinions are 100% my own.
