Magen McMinimy creates a whole new world to fall in love with, as well as a slew of characters to follow and become attached to. This is definitely a series worth reading!I've reviewed each book, and will share my review of all the books included in this omnibus!BLOOD CLAIMBlood Claim is the first in Author Magen McMinimy’s Half-Blood Princess series, and tells the tale of Sophia Daletsky. Sophia is the daughter of a vampire and human, a half-blooded vampire. Her father is Cain, the original vampire, and her two brothers are some of the strongest of their kind. Unfortunately one of them, Irad, is on the hunt for Sophia after she disappeared  eight months prior to the story.In her attempt at hiding she finds herself in Maldera Springs, where she meets the Baikov brothers Dante and Tavian. They’re both vampires, and alongside them is a human named Sarah, who is very important to the vampire world. Sophia sets out to protect her, but ends up falling for one of the brothers; which only complicates things further.I sincerely enjoyed this book, enthralled in Magen’s complicated world of vampires and their society. We only get a glimpse of it in this book, but I am definitely hooked. There is a whole new world in Magen McMinimy’s Half-Blood Princess series, and I am eager to delve further into it!The only reason I give it anything other than five stars is because I felt it ended too quickly. There were a few time-skips I felt could have been utilized for more character development, but other than that the story and writing was magnificent and I highly recommend you pick this book up!Four out of Five stars!RESURRECTION STONEResurrection Stone is the second book in Author Magen McMinimy’s The consequence of unspoken secrets has left half-blood princess, Sophia Daletsky feeling alone and trapped. With Dante having turned his back on her and Kara slinking around with untold intentions Sophia turns to Tavian, Sarah and Rachel as she tries to adjust to her new powers and an unsure future as Protector of Maldera Springs. Things are never easy in the vampire world, as Sophia realizes as another part of her past catches up with her in this second installment of the Half-Blood Princess series.Half-Blood Princess series, and continues the story of Sophie Daletsky; the Half-Blood Princess.After the events of Blood Claim, Sophia is dealing with a whole new set of issues. She has laid claim to all of Maldera Springs, and that brings with it a bunch of ups and downs. She can now sense when a vampire enters the town, but she can also feel when they kill a human. She has grown stronger, as has her blood and its potency. Whenever a vampire drinks her blood, they become stronger, which is now a good aid in what Sophia knows is to come.When her ex-fiancee arrives things in her world spin wildly out of control and she pulls all of her resources to protect the town and all of the people she loves inside of it.I had given the previous book a four star rating due to pacing issues, but I feel Magen McMinimy has definitely fixed this issue in this book. It is much more action packed with more character development for all. I personally like Tavian, as he is very loyal to Sophia and his love Sarah. He stayed by Sophia’s side even when Dante couldn’t, and I respect his character.Hopefully the next book will be even better!Five out of Five stars!SHADOWED MEMORIESShadowed Memories is book three in Author Magen McMinimy’s Half-Blood Princess series, and is by far the most awesome.Half-Blood Princess Sophia Daletsky’s life has changed dramatically since resurrecting Sage from the dead, discovering that the two of them are connected by an ancient prophecy that will determine not only their future, but also the future of everyone around them.Time starts to run out as a new enemy makes itself known, determined to steal away from Sophia and Sage two things that they are willing to die for: their twin children.With this new enemy coming closer to steal away the twins, Sophia and Sage bring together all of their friends, family, and allies to stop this menace from destroying the entire world.Fast-paced, action filled, and passionate, Shadowed Memories is by far my favorite out of the series. Sophie has decided to become romantically involved with Sage, a minor character in book one and a pivotal character in book two. This causes tension between some of their friends, but Sophia handles it all like a champ and smacks a few heads to get things straight haha! Magen McMinimy has done it again with this book and I look forward to reading book four!Five out of Five stars!DARK SOULIn the fourth book of Author Magen McMinimy’s Half-Blood Princess series Sophia Daletsky finds herself and her makeshift family preparing for trouble. Zillah, the new badie in town, is raising an army to take down Sophia and to kidnap her twins Andre and Ashlyn to start a new race of witch/vampire subordinates. Retreating to her father’s castle, Sophia and her lover Sage begin training alongside all their friends in order to fight back when Zillah makes her move.Filled with intense passion and brilliantly written, Magen McMinimy does it again with this installment in her amazing series. New mythos are revealed and new enemies arise in order to make Sophia’s already difficult life more difficult. just as you think Sophia is about to break she pulls through and kicks some ass!I sincerely enjoyed this book and everything it entailed. Author Magen McMinimy doesn’t stop in her ability to keep you locked into her world and doesn’t let you go until she deems worthy. I highly recommend you read this book!Five out of Five stars!All in all, I give the entire series FIVE out of FIVE stars!
