This is the second in the Renegade Magic series with Tom's story. He believes more in what is seen than the magic realm however he and Jessie must find the answers to the mystery . Good continuation of the story and is better to be read in order as the mystery runs throughout the books.

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:  Romance, Mystery and thrillers

I knew this was a trilogy, written by three different authors, but didn't realise each section would be so short, this part of the story is only just over 1000 kindle locations, around 80 pages I'd guess.
 I have issues with shorts, novellas, I find they just don't let me explore the characters and the story in the depth I need to enjoy it. That's not so for everybody, many readers love the brevity of stories like this, especially those with little free time. 

It did mean that though I found the story interesting, intriguing even, although I hadn't read part one, but that I felt it was just too slick, cut and dried, easy answers.
Hardly had an event happened that the solution was found, everything was very quick with no time for the characters to mull over, make mistakes. It felt like problem, solution, sorted, within a few pages.
There's such a lot going on here that it means nothing really gets explained, contains any great mysteries or needs deep thinking to ponder whats going to happen, because turn a few pages and it does ;-) 

Its well written, intriguing and has characters and a storyline I think I'd like if I could know them in more detail, but for me its all just too quick, too short.
If that's what you want though, a quick, sensual read with a side of mystery and puzzles that get solved promptly, then this is a read you may love. 

Stars: Three, its a good read, just too short for me.

In Part 2 of the Renegade Trilogy Tom and Jessie investigate the suspicious circumstances of a hanging. I really like these two I felt they connected well and look forward to reading Rico next.
