Heart of Stone by Lisa Edmonds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Around 5 years ago Alice Worth escaped her grandfather Moses Murphy's cabal and started a new life as a mage/private investigator. However, now is war with local crime boss Darius Bell has pulled her into the crosshairs and threatens to destroy everything and everyone she loves including her relationship with alpha werewolf Sean Marlin. Her new case is also her most dangerous when she struggles to find a missing child with unregistered magical ability. She will encounter pack violence, Vampire Court betrayal and as all her secrets come out in the open it isn't just her personal life that is in danger but her life as well - can she make it out alive and with all her loved ones alive too?

There are a great many threads coming into play in this story as her past, present and future are all affected by the characters and events experienced in this book. Whilst everything was clear and easy to understand in this book it was very full on with some of the events happening. There was some violence in this section of Alice's story and she does very well to hold herself together, her ideas and those she loves as she reveals more of the darkness that lies within herself. Sean must love her very much given some of the things he had to put up with in this story. In the end, it sets the promise for a lot of things to happen in the next instalment of the story.

Heart of Ice by Lisa Edmonds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alice Worth is a private investigator with a ghost sidekick and a hot alpha werewolf called Sean for a boyfriend. Thinking she has the time to relax and do some more mundane investigations she starts to investigate a burglary ring targeting magical objects collected by the rich and powerful. She also has the issue of her grandfather Moses Murphy fighting another crime lord for control of the city. This gets very dangerous for Alice as she is related to the person doing the hard work on this and she needs to avoid her and remain unknown at all costs. Then Sean gets injured and his pack becomes really angry with her, however to save Sean and survive a well laid trap, she risks everything (including possible recognition) as she's never backed down before so she sees no point in doing that now.

This was action packed with drama, intrigue and danger at all points as Alice battled with burglars, wolves and magic coming at her from all angles. I really felt for her at times but with dogged determination she never let it defeat her with some pretty awesome results at times. Well written and very enjoyable, it was a powerful read that can be a stand alone read but is probably slightly more enjoyable if you have read the previous books in the series.
