I didn't finish the first book, so I didn't get into this one. I'm not reading poorly because it just wasn't for me

The book is a second of a series so I would highly recommend you read book 1 first. Yes, she lived through it all! Shoe drop: but only to be cruelly betrayed by someone she least expected, thus starts book 2. She's found her long lost brother but will they all live through the chase over hill & dell & through walls. His old snag has added a new dimension to it all after the pair are saved from a tribunal but will family ties be the death of her? will they go to furry conventions to be rock stars? Continue the saga

This series was fantastic. Quick, witty, with an excellent plot and full characters, I enjoyed every page.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. The more I get to know Vic the more that I like her. Now add in her brother and some new friends and it made the adventure even more appealing. She has not lost any of that quirkness from the first book. Actually I think it is there even more. I am even more worried about the MOME something about it rubs me the wrong way.

"Victoria Marmot and the Inconvenient Prophecy" eBook was published in 2018 and was written by Virginia McClain (http://virginiamcclain.blogspot.com). Ms. McClain has published six novels or novellas. This is the second of her "Victoria Marmot" series. 

I categorize this novella as ‘R’ because it contains scenes of Violence, Mature Situations, and considerable Mature Language. The story is set in our contemporary world, but in an Alternate Timeline where magic is possible. The primary character is seventeen-year-old Victoria Marmot.

The story picks up almost immediately from where the first novella "Victoria Marmot and the Meddling Goddess" left off. Victoria and her brother, along with their friends, continue to battle with the Ministry of Magical Entities (MOME). Victoria not only learns a great deal more about her magical abilities, but she also finds that she has some rather deep attractions to both a boy and a girl she has met. That attraction proves to be reciprocated and the three eventually have a very intimate moment together.

I thought that the 4+ hours I spent reading this 222-page young adult fantasy were interesting. Both of the novellas I have read so far in this series have been a bit crazy. The character of Victoria Marmot is not one that I am drawn to. I like the chosen cover art. I give this novella a 3.8 (rounded up to a 4) out of 5.

My book reviews are also published on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/31181778-john-purvis).

The second book took up were the first left off. It felt more fast paced and non stop than book 1. Book 1 was very hilarious while this one was more dramatic. I hope book three brings back some of the humor. But still a good read.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This series.. if I could put it nicely.. is weird. The first book made me laugh so much because of the character names.. and just 'cause they were hilarious.. but now it's all kinds of weird. However, the characters are still hilarious and have funny names.

In this book, Victoria is dealing with some changes. She's discovering herself (like being bisexual) and it was a pretty epic journey. However, I've had my fair share of f/f, m/m/, f/f/m, m/m/f...AND this was like baby stuff. Little kiddy f/f romance so I was kind of sad and disappointed. I'm hoping that it gets way better in the next book because I could seriously start shipping her with someone.

Other than Victoria, some of the characters were a bit annoying. Or maybe I was just annoyed reading this while at work.. but either way, I ended up annoyed/frustrated with some of them. It's like they way they talk.. or maybe it's the writing for certain characters but ugh - I'm praying that they don't annoy me in the next book (but I highly doubt that will happen).

Besides all of that, we are still dealing with MOMA/MOME? and things start to get interesting again. I loved the action between everything but I wish I got more. I'm hoping that third book would be amazing because I can't wait to dive into this weirdness again.

3.5 stars

I uh.. don't even know what to say about this series so far. It's interesting.
It's fast paced, action packed, and hilarious! Love it!

Looking forward to reading more from this author

I received a free copy of VICTORIA MARMOT AND THE INCONVENIENT PROPHECY (Victoria Marmot Book 2) by Virginia McClain in exchange for an honest review. The most important information about this sequel is that, though not marketed as LGBTQIA, Vic discovers she’s bisexual and becomes embroiled in a ménage a trois/polyamorous relationship. Though not terribly graphic, the focus of the details actually given is on the girl/girl stuff. There was already a lot going on in this book, so the sex stuff was unnecessary and disappointing. Vic and her friends are continuously pursued by MOMA throughout the book; they run from one battle to another. The rampant profanity continues. Vic and her friends eventually find out what happened to their parents and what MOMA’s hiding.
