Nexus Chronicles #4

Impractical Magus

Rate this book
Forced to join her family for the holidays, Haily settles down to a tropical cruise with too much alcohol and not enough company. While her sisters are trying to find their matches in the highest ranking magical families, Haily gets the buffet. Knocked into the ocean by chance, she finds herself surrounded by sharks and trapped in a war that revolves around her. Shocked into using her powers for the first time, she grows gills, rides sharks and masters a magic that she didn't know she had.

Loki is the shark shifter Alpha and he takes Haily under his fin, showing her that she has nothing to fear about using her talents underwater, and that this is where she was designed to be. In the water, at his side.

Enjoy this Yuletide tale with sexy sharks, deadly dolphins and a water magus who learns to be herself in the nicest way.

Another fantastic Nexus Universe book

I adore these books. To some they seem short, but to me they are ideal. The story is told, concisely and without unnecessary bumf.

Loved Haily and Loki
Haily Holly Danvers is from a well respected family of mages. Spell Crafters. Haily is a misfit. She has power but no control. Even just being around her can upset her three sisters magic. Her parents are ever optimistic, and book a match making cruise for mages.
Haily ends up over board after a fireball goes astray. She is rescued by sharks. Shark shifters and she learns why she has such strength but no control from Loki Ekobai, the shark shifter alpha. He peoples job is to train mages like her.
Haily's power is unique and her family is being hunted by the dolphin alpha who wants her power for his own gain.
A fun, fast paced a little steamy, shifter mage romance sent in the Nexus universe, can be read as a stand alone

This was a cute short story. It still had it's romance and humor to make me smile. I really loved it that dolphins are the bad guys and sharks are the good guys in this shape shifter PRN short story.
If you want something that'll be a really quick read, I'd recommend this. It's not the best short story I've ever read, but certainly not the worst. It was just okay. Not what I consider good enough to make it stand out enough for me to remember a year from now.
