Unchained Magic

Her Demon Lovers #2

by Lacey Carter Andersen

Everyone wants me dead.

The hunters. The angels. They all see me as a threat.

And the thing is… I am.

These jerks have been running things for too long. Abusing their power and playing with humans like broken toys.

But all that is over.

I still don’t know what I am. I still don’t know what I’m capable of. But with my three sexy demons at my side, our enemies better be scared.

Because I’m coming for them.

UNCHAINED MAGIC is a steamy paranormal reverse harem romance. It has sexy demons, a tough demon hunter, and a mysterious enemy. But be warned, this book might make you wish for possessive demons of your own. (This book was previously released as Cursed Hunter.)

149 pages, Kindle Edition

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

Book two in the series and it picks up after the events of book following a short gap in time in which Sharon and her guys have been busy doing all kinds of stuff. While we are playing catch-up to what we missed there is lots of current drama going on that will so keep you hooked as the story moves further. Sharon is really coming into her own by this point though there are still lots of surprises as well as bumps in the road. I cannot wait to see what happens in the third book with a crazy ending like this one. If you enjoyed book one then you really have to read this one. I really enjoyed it so I give it 4/5 stars.

This is a great second book! Well written this steamy paranormal reverse harem romance has sexy demons, a tough demon hunter, and a mysterious enemy and will have you hooked by the first chapter! Our female mc is a total badass who continues to grow and develop and her mates hot and sexy and some of their scenes are scorching 🔥! Angels fighting demons, it’s intense and gripping , there’s secrets and twists and turns and you will not want to put this down! Looking forward to reading the next book!

Most of the rest of this book is a blur in the face of the revelations of the ending. I remember secrets revealed and double-crosses set in motion, but only the very last few moments stick in my memory. I know Sharen has developed new abilities and powers, and her lineage may be more important than anyone guessed, but will she be strong enough to face the challenges being set in her way?
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author through Black Cat.

This is just as good as the first book. There is so much going on. Twists and turns a plenty. It definitely keeps the pages turning. I cannot wait for the next book. If you haven’t started this series yet you definitely should.

Sharen is back! Her demons are at her side and she's doing what she can. She's fighting. She's fighting to save the good demons who should never have been condemned to the demon realm. She's putting her life in danger with each trip to the demon realm because not all of the demons want her help. Some just simply want her...her body...so that they can possess her and cross over. She's also learning about her parentage. Seems that there are secrets buried on top of secrets on top of secrets. Some is going to a lot of trouble when it comes to Sharen and her demons, but who? Someone wants to plant doubts in Sharen and her demon's minds concerning the demons they are saving. Are they really good? Or are they really hiding their true nature and waiting to wreak havoc on the world?
Unchained Magic is a gripping story that brings back Sharen, and starts the story off with a bang. Angels and demons still fighting. Caine is up to no good, but he knows that he must be patient if he is to acquire the power that he seeks. Sharen is having issues with who she is. Her powers come and go and this truly frustrates her. She wants her demons to let her do what she must, but at times it seems she fails to understand that they just want her to be safe. The dynamics in this story are truly intense. The steamy scenes are scorching. There are quite a few intense moments throughout this book.
I love Sharen's growth and development but I feel that in a couple moments her anger is misplaced. I don't get it. I have to admit that when she screams at Alec that she doesn't need any of them I got irritated. Last I checked, their operation didn't run on hopes and dreams and rainbow farts. Her demons are literally funding it because her ex-husband took her to the cleaners and took everything that he could. So, it's safe to say that despite her angry outburst she's 100% wrong. I applaud her demon for not losing his cool, but I'd have called her out on it.
Okay, let me just say this...I LOVE the story within a story with this book. We get a taste that secrets are being kept all around. I love that we get a glimpse at some major secrets a certain character is keeping. Reading it was awesome.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed this story from start to finish. I love how the pieces are all coming together. War is coming, but things are truly getting intense.

[Douglas Williamson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Our heroine is tired of the status quo and seeks to change things. With her three mates by her side, perhaps she can make that happen.

This is book two of the series. It works okay as a standalone, but you will be missing some of the backstory. The essentials are explained here, but not all the details.

This is an urban fantasy story featuring angels and demons as well as a reverse harem. The story is well written and easy to read with a complex setting and a well developed cast of characters. The characters are particularly intriguing as they have unique characteristics, strengths and weaknesses which definitely keeps things interesting. The plot moves along at a good pace and features several twists and turns that keep you guessing as to what comes next. Overall, it was a very enjoyable story and I look forward to seeing what comes next.

Highly recommended

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout for review purposes.

Sharen is trying to save as many demons as she can. She is becoming overwhelmed and taking it out on her men. When a mission goes wrong, she questions everything. They also find out that there is someone that providing the enemy with information. The guys inform her that not all the demons are good, until they find out they have been played. Kade never thought where he would be going for help, but it pays off. Everything was going according to plan until the worst happens.


There is so much more to this story than what I wrote about, I really didn't want to give to much away. You will Sharen trying to do everything she can to save demons but there is something bigger at play. You will the the burden it is taken on her and her relationships. There are some really interesting twists and turns in this story. The ending of the book was to good. Can't wait for the next one.

Set my world on end

Sharen, former hunter, and her three demon husbands (Kade, Alec, and Ryder) have been trying to save all the innocent demons they can. As the story progresses the rescue missions get more dangerous, a trip to a figure from the past yields results, and a prophesy is closer to coming true without knowing all the necessary answers. Lacey Carter Andersen set my world on end with Unchained Magic. Now that she has revealed more of the moving pieces, I have to wonder how much worse things will get before Sharen and her men find a happy ending.

I read this book with my Kindle Unlimited subscription and I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

[sherri jones-teachout · Rating 5 out of 5]

A war is coming. But who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? Sharen’s powers are growing but they’re erratic. Coming and going and sometimes leaving her vulnerable when she’s attacked by Hunters and her powers wain. Trying to save as many good demons as possible is wearing on her and her three husbands but they must continue. And now one of the most powerful Hunters has come to her and thinks he might be on the wrong side. He questions what is in her file and why her entire life has been controlled by the Hunters. And two angels actually help her two husbands when another angel deliberately tries to kill them. Are more hunters and angels realizing what they have been taught is wrong? With two more people helping to find out what Sharen is and where her powers come from maybe she will finally have answers. But maybe in this instance ignorance is bliss.

[Naurarwen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sharen and her demon husbands are back in book two and Sharen is trying to save as many demons as possible from the demon realm but there are a lot of things that could go wrong for her. Not helped by the fact that all the missions seem to be compromised with the hunters always finding out where Sharen is, but who is leaking the information. The answer might not be what Sharen wants to hear though.

With tensions getting high all around and people keeping secrets from each other it's probably not going to end well for Sharen and her men. There are definitely some interesting twists and turns along the way and some things happen that the reader may not exactly be expecting, I certainly wasn't.

Can't wait for book three in this series.

[Lexi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow this book was full of so many surprises and twists and turns I loved it! I definitely didn’t see many of those surprises coming and can’t wait for the next book! I love these characters so much! Sharen is getting stronger as time continues but she’s also having trouble controlling there erratic powers but she is doing her best. And she’s got her demons there to help her! And I seriously love these demons! She needs them with her with a war brewing along with her powers growing though at times they completely abandon her at the most inopportune moments. Her husbands are there for her even with all of the insanity going on. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for these characters next.

[Katherine Jordan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read this book before but it was under a different title and it was part of a boxed set. I enjoyed it the first time and I enjoyed it this time as well. The story is well written and keeps you interested from start to finish. It starts a little sad because a child and his family are killed by angels and it makes Sharen very angry. Sharen continues to go into other realms to try and rescue other demons and it does not always go well. There is mystery, steamy bits and a whole range of other emotions you will experience in this book. It is still worth the read.

[Lene Blackthorn · Rating 4 out of 5]

After joining the rebellion, Sharen's life became even fuller with action, and her dedication to the cause is inspiring to many. However, there are problems to be solved, hunters to be evaded, and always the danger of someone being hurt. Moreover, the truth about angels and demons is not as black and white as the angels or the rebellion make it seem, and learning the truth might be hard..
the second book in the series was definitely an improvement comparing to book one, I felt more connected to the main character, and the story felt more consistent. It progressed well, developing both the plot and the characters, and I enjoyed this very fast read.

[Chelsea Okamoto · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG...... the action in this book picked up quickly and just kept going! Sharen is very stubborn in this book even though it is for the right reasons. She and her men continue on their quest to save good demons but they keep running into challenges along the way. Things seem to be running smoothly and then BAM everything goes to crap. Such a good book! Beware the heart clenching cliffhanger! 😩It immediately pulled me back into their world and engaged me until the very end! Fabulous! Cannot wait to see what happens next! 💜🖤

[Lory · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been waiting impatiently for this book let me tell you that it was so worth the wait definitely doesn't disappoint. Even though I still have a lot more questions that were answered in this book I'm still invested in the story. With the added action, intrigue, suspense, and of course steamy romance you have helluva read. So looking forward to seeing what else in store for this series. As always my review are totally voluntarily no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

[Dori Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

As the battle rages, Sharen is drawn deeper into doubt. While she struggles to save her Demons and as many others as she can find, her grasp on everything she once believed true slips and shatters. Faced with increasing powers she can't explain and hunted by those she once called allies, she depends on the love of her Demons to provide the tether which helps to keep her grounded as the world spins further out of control. But when the one last stand goes horribly wrong, will they be ready for what comes next?

[Heather · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic!!!!

Unchained Magic is the 2nd book in the Her Demon Lovers series, and a great follow up to the first book. I absolutely adore Kade, Alec and Ryan as well as Sharen.

In this book, Sharen discovers even more secrets about herself and there is a lot of good drama, suspense, action, romance, and of course hot sex!!! This book was on 🔥!!

I wholeheartedly recommend not only this book but the series, as it's a fabulous paranormal reverse harem series!!!

I recieved an ARC for my honest review.

[Mrs R · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book 2 in the series and you need to have read book 1 to understand what is going on.

Sharen and her husbands have now joined the Rebellion, helping to free innocent Demons, but some things just aren't adding up. The ones she should be able to trust might just be betraying her and her enemies appear to be helping. With everything up in the air, Sharen is confused.

This book starts off a little slow, but once it gets going there is no stopping the twists and turns - you have no idea who can and can't be trusted.

And then the cliffhanger ending...I need to know what happens!

[Missy Brown · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading Unchained Magic very much, it really kept my attention in this second installment of Her Demon Lovers series. I have been on a demon kick lately and this was right up my alley. One of the better Demon series I have read in awhile.

Sharen and her guys are trying to find a balance between trying to live as a unit and helping demons. What I like so much about Sharen and her guys, they work as a unit, and keep working. No body is perfect and I love how they seem to work at their relationships. There is a lot of twists and turns. Well done and I cannot wait to read more.

[Stan Hutchings · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book 2 continues the story of Sharen and her demon husbands, Ryder, Alec, and Kade. Sharen is developing new powers she is still investigating, which she hopes will be useful in the coming war. She meets two possible allies, if she can trust them. Her plan to save the innocent demons has a setback when she’s told that not all demons are really and truly innocent. Caine is revealed as the power behind the conspiracy. Sharen may be more than human, actually more than anyone expects. The book ends on a cliffhanger, so have Dark Powers ready to read.

[Lisa Maher · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been waiting impatiently for this book for a little while and it didn't let me down. It raised more questions than those that were answered, but that is what keeps me invested in the story. I need to know what happens next to Sharen and her demons! So many twists and turns keep popping up that keep me on the edge of my seat until the next book drops. I cannot wait to see what happens next!

[Book Addict · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really good second book in this series by the talented Lacey Carter Anderson. For me I enjoyed book one better as I felt Sharen was overly stubborn and not trusting her husbands. It annoyed me slightly..not enough to stop reading though. Kade was intense in this book, Alec was a little insecure snd Ryder always tried to put in a supportive face. I wish Sharen would listen to the husbands a bit more and come together as one scream. It was a captivating scented between Kade and his sister...Sad and emotional!But that ending....who is the traitor?? Book three is going to be intense! I am excited to keep reading and hope they all come together in the end.

[Margarita Rose · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an action packed and fast paced book that leaves you breathless at the end. This is one hell of a cliffhanger and I cannot wait to read the next book. Sharen has so many things going on that she cannot take a breath between. The guys need her now and she is changing throughout the book. I like that the characters compliment each other. The guys seem to get along real well. You do not want to put this book down and you yearn to read the rest.

I love that this book didn't skip a beat on pulling me right back into the action and having me feel so invested in Sharen and her guys. So much going on in here, it's awesome. Things look smooth for them and then they go sideways, and it took me on quite the reading adventure. Love when this happens! Expect more twists, danger, developing relationship and heat to fully capture your attention in this next book for the series. Can't wait to see what happens after that ending!

[Jacqueline Chappell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series just gets better and better. The world building is so unique and interesting and the character development is great. The foursome of main characters is engaging and lovable. I loved the unpredictability of the action and intrigue. Ends on a cliffhanger as you would expect but I can’t wait for the finale. Definitely recommend this one.

Sharen is always a couple steps behind! Everything she is working towards someone knows and will do anything to jeopardize her work and her.

 

What is she? What are these powers? Can she learn to control them?  You must read to find out the answers.

 

War is coming and she will need to find out who she is and what she is capable of. She will also need to learn who she can trust. It’s time to stop running and bring the fight.

 

I cannot wait for the next book!!

[Charlotte · Rating 4 out of 5]

Book 2 and Sharen and her demon now husbands - Kade, Alec and Ryder are on a mission to save/help as many demons who just want to live a normal & peaceful life as they can. Problems come in the form of Angels and the so called good guys. Sharen finds herself in the middle of a power struggle between Angels and Demons. Whats good and bad. Fast-paced with plenty of action and steamy scenarios. This series just keeps getting better and its a brilliant read

[Lexa · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book gave me all the feels. It has love, mystery, blood and guts everything a woman like me wants in a book.
I love how the dynamic between Sharen and her demon husbands is very realistic. They have fights but they also still have a very active life in the bedroom. The steamy scenes were so so good.

I loved the mystery in this book got bigger. Who and What is Sharen? Who are the good guys? Who are the bad guys? It makes me want the next book now so I can know.

[Kaylee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was 10 times better than the first as we see our heroine develop her relationships with her demons. She is at a complete loss with everything that is happening around her, but her men are there through it all. The lines between good and evil start to blur and I have no idea what the outcome will be, I can’t wait for book three.

I was given an ARC, so I am writing my honest voluntary review.

[Samantha Silensky · Rating 5 out of 5]

Poor Sharen is a mass of confusion, hurt, determination, and hope. She wants to save them all. But with a war coming, demons being slaughtered, and never knowing which side some angels are on, she doesn’t know which way is up anymore. Add to that, things are a little rocky with her men right now, and Sharen feels hopeless. But when things finally start looking brighter something happens to change everything. Sharen is left alone and terrified. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book.
