I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts contained within are my honest thoughts and feelings about the book.Heritage Avenged: Enchanted Bookstore Legend Two is the second book in the Enchanted Bookstore series. Let me say upfront that I read this book without having read the first book of the series, so I don't think that I got the full impact of the story. In this story, Lyra McCauley, a writer and English professor, receives a letter from the doctor who performed the autopsy on her aunt. When she speaks to the doctor, he confirms that nothing medically explains her aunt's death, bolstering the suspicion that she was killed magically.Now, for those who haven't read the first book...Lyra McCauley is a writer and loves fantasy novels, but until she opens a selection from bookstore owner Cullen Drake, she has no idea he's a wizard character who lives a double life inside that volume...or the story's magic will compel her from the edge of depression to adventure, danger, and love.Lyra starts to learn how to use her magic, but due to an attack that causes her lover and bonded mate, Cullen Drake, serious injury, her lessons are accelerated so that she can help to heal his injuries.Moore weaves a tale of love, magic and danger that draws you into the story. You want to keep reading and see what happens next for Lyra. I was honestly sad when the book ended and wanted more. I've decided that I need to go back and read the first one. You can pick up the second book and not be lost, but there are references back that don't make a lot of sense if you haven't read the first story.The book was well written, stands alone on it's own and is a great example of fantasy and magic for those who enjoy magic in their stories.
