The Blurb:
A spin-off of the popular Cindy Eller series.
The first book in the Goldie Locke and the Were Bears series.
It's difficult to be taken seriously when you are a member of the Magical community and saddled with the unfortunate name 'Goldie Locke'. It certainly doesn't help if you are also about five feet tall, blond, and most commonly described as 'cute.'. What was a girl to do?
Become one of the most dreaded Magical environmental lawyers of all time?
Goldie isn't there yet, but she's well on her way when a case drags her into uncharted territory-- working with Ordinary officials to figure out why 'unusual' remains are being discovered all around New England.
With her hands full and a new dragon on the way, Goldie's hunches about this case may prove to be all-too true-- this stuff is bad business!
The Review:
I liked the old covers better, they fit with their sister series better. But that's just me... Back to focusing- review. I loved this book as the start of the series. Goldie is just as an amazing as Cindy. Her life is complex and real (well, we don't all have dragon eggs, do we?). There is something amazing about the way that Elizabeth writes that is both highly entertaining and hooks the reader right in.
I read her Cindy Eller series first, I fell in love. A lot of the time when you read a spin-off, you get a sense that it's just trying to live up to what it came from- but that is not the case here. Yes, Goldie has some cameos in Cindy's book, she is her own person. It is great to discover the different sides of that amazing family!
I love the Baehr brothers, and all the animals! Can I have a Fred? I swear I would adopt him! It would be awesome to see him chase my min pin or border collie around... If I can't have Fred, can I have Petunia? I <3 pachyderms!! That is great thing about these books, each creature that Elizabeth brings in, has its own personality! You don't get tired of her throwing something new at you.
I cannot wait to start the second book- I happily await the next sleepless night as I devour the book!
I really hope that she writes many more books in each series she already has going and does spin offs for each of the sisters!
This is another high recommendation! The short, Baehrly Beginning, is currently FREE on Amazon if you want a taste of the books!
