About the author
Magen McMinimy
46 books186 followersI kind of like to think of myself as a normal lady living a semi normal life. I’m not sure that’s all that accurate; I have a sweet husband and two dogs-my girls- that I think of as my children. I grew up in Sonoma County, California and I never pictured myself moving. Funny because now I live in North Idaho and I love it here, I love the summers; camping, bar-b-ques with friends, and the farmers markets. I find the winter magical and love the snow. I started writing as a hobby. I’ve been one of those people who has been obsessed with the world of the paranormal for as long as I can remember. I self published my first book in August of 2011 at my husbands’ urging.
Sophia’s story was truly meant for me at the beginning. Now I love that I chose to share these characters with everyone who’s chosen to read about them. I love these characters. They hold a special part of me and represent the strength and knowledge that comes with never giving up. of course I’m biased.
As for me personally, I’m not one who ever really shared much of my own story, however not long ago I finally shared my story with the fans who followed my Facebook page Magen McMinimy Author Page so I figure my story is out there for the world to read so I might as well share it here . . .
Like I said I grew up in California, I was born in Santa Rosa, Ca on April 19th 1983, I had a simple and pretty good childhood with a rather great family. I have wonderful parents and a pretty great sister( I didn’t always think so as I was growing up, but now I know the simple pleasures of having a sister as my best friend, she also gave me my nephew Asher who I adore). When I was nine I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, I was fortunate enough that it didn’t affect any of my major organs, but on the flip side of that it was in my eyes.
When I was around the age of twelve, I was given the diagnosis of secondary glaucoma. At thirteen I had my first in a fairly long line of surgeries to help control the pressures and remove the cataracts in my eyes.
When I turned twenty-one I took the first step of a major life change and moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
I left a lot of amazing friends and an amazing extended family. I met my now husband a few months after the move and was married to him in June of 2006. In 2008 I finished college and became a wedding planner. I love a good party and I live to decorate and make things beautiful and amazing for those around me.
In April of 2010 I woke up one morning with no vision in my right eye, I got an appointment with a specialist and found out I had blood vessels growing in the back of my eye that led to nowhere and were steadily bleeding. I underwent treatments and we got the bleeding under control and eventually stopped completely. But not before some major damage had been done. My doctor got me on the road to getting some help and I work each day with a small amount of remaining vision in my left eye.
So why do I tell you all of this? I tell you all because this is who I am, and those of you taking the time to read this have probably read at least one of my books and because of that you’ve helped to make this dream of writing and reaching out to others who love books, and vampires, and shifters and all things gorgeous and sexy . . . come true!
Life is a constant balance of what we want and what we need. It's also a lot like a Battle. A battle that we all have to fight in our own way. I chose to try and love and cherish every minute that I get to chase my crazy dreams and create a world and characters to get lost in.

This is an amazing series, and it's so great that it comes in a box set!! I loved each and every story in it, and all the amazing characters. Definitely not a series I want to see end!!
Echo's of Silence~ I am so glad to get more of Sarah's story. I really like Tavian, and felt for him when he was possessed and attacked Sophia and Sarah. I understood why Sarah had to leave and run from him after that. Justin is awesome though. I'm glad that aspect is working out for Sarah, can't wait to find out more about the Banshee part though. We were also introduced to a new character, Blair. She is awesome too. I really love these stories.
A Witch's Mark~ Wow, what to say about Bryn and Ash's story...Amazing and parts are heart wrenching. The things that Bryn goes through, I'm surprised that she didn't break from it all. She is an amazingly strong woman. Ash has done a complete 360 since the very first book, my first impression of him was totally wrong. He is loving and caring and would do anything to protect the ones he loves, including Bryn. Bryn has to overcome some major set backs, including betrayal from someone she knows well. Was not expecting what happened, to happen.
Bound by Destiny~ Tavian is such a great character. The prophecy about him is finally happening. Ashlyn is now 18 (even though the twins were only born 6 years ago). Mel and Ashlyn go to New York before Mel starts school. Crazy things happen. Ashley calls Tavian, he comes to her. Things get crazier from there. Tavian has always been one of my favorites in this series. Mel also gets a few surprises in this book and not all are good.
Last Surrender~ What an awesome ending to this series!! It has left me wanting more though. I am so greedy sometimes lol. There is a lot going on in this book, it is about all the characters. They all have to come back home, to fight together, to save the town. They have missed a few of Zillah's followers, those followers have come to town also, making demands. Rachel will play a very important role in this book. But will she finally get what she wants from Dante? Great read!!

After reading the first books in the set, I immediately bought and read the last four to see how the story unfolded until the end. This set continues with the same characters and some new ones such as werewolves, a wraith and a demon. Sophia has fulfilled her prophesy by marring Sage and giving birth to their half blood twins. Now there is another prophesy that has to do with her twins, especially her beautiful daughter and one of the protectors. This was again such a beautiful story showing how family whether they be blood or through friendship come together to save the greater good. Again well written with the amazing characters we learned about in book one and also we get to see how amazing her son and daughter have become as they grow into the people that are meant to be. Be sure and read the first four in the set before reading this one.

I'm very happy that I didn't give up on this series. The books continuously improved and the development of the story and characters was wonderful. Although there are still spelling and grammar errors abound throughout all of her books. There are many very distracting misused words as well.
