Stella Mayweather #5
Arcane Magic
All is well in Stella’s world...
For the first time in a very long time she feels safe and secure in the knowledge that she’s put the Brotherhood behind her. However, she’s desperately searching for an answer that will set her ex-boyfriend free from a dangerous pact he agreed to in order to protect her, and ensure the survival of the witches. So when her old friend Etoile asks her to run a few secret errands prior to the swearing in of the High Council, Stella cautiously agrees. However finding a dead man on her doorstep, clutching a torn note bearing only her name, doesn't figure into any of her plans. Who is he and what does he want?
With neighbour and old flame Gage in tow, they head north to discover more about the dead man. There they are plunged into a mystery that appears to span every faction of the supernatural world, and more danger than they could possibly imagine. Just what is it that the werewolves, demons, and witches are searching for and how far will they go to gain the ultimate prize?
With the High Council inauguration drawing close, Stella must race against time to save what could be their only hope of peace, draw out the enemies in their midst, and find the answers she is so desperately searching for...

Talk about drama and suspense. Twists, turns and a super witch?
Talk about drama and mystery. Someone is trying to sabotage the high council and kill its leader. Two of the accused disappear and their is a fight to see who will lead the wolf pack . There is deception, masquerades and people appearing to do one thing while really doing another. There is a prophesy about a super witch. As well as a surprise ending leaving you wanting the next book as suspense drives you forward. love this series.

The fifth adventure of Stella Mayweather and her trials and tribulations of being a very powerful witch was a very good read.

This was fantastic! I was a Gage fan through and through, but he let me down. Back on Evan's side. I thought this was the last book, not! I will be on pins and needles until Dec 2014. I am hoping there is more action in the next one. Bring back some old characters. Good storyline, great book! Is Stella the super witch, I hope so.

Good read.
I had forgotten some of the previous characters in the preceding books, but after a couple of pages was immersed in the story again. I truly enjoy Ms. Chafer's books. Looking forward to book six in the series!

Stella! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Argh! I've been reading this series all week and the last book of the series so far that came out this year had a MAJOR cliffy! I can't stand it. Don't know when the next book will be out. I'm... I'm dying here. Camilla Chafer can't wait for the next book!

I read this series knowing that it wasn't literature, that it wasn't particularly well written. But it is still really enjoyable! I love a wee urban fantasy. Sometimes you need an easy read as a break, and Camilla Chafer is perfect for that.

Get a backbone, Stella! Make a decision! Say no, sometimes! Sheesh.
Don't get me wrong, I read it and enjoyed it overall as entertainment. It just feels like Stella needs to make some decisions of her own instead of being pushed around by events. We'll see what happens after the cliffhanger

Finally direct action
Stella is finally stepping up. The two stars are for the awkward pacing of the plot and the abrupt changes. Again secrets leave so much out that the reveals are weird and disjointed.
