Reap the Wind

By Karen Chance

Book Overview

From the New York Times bestselling author of Tempt the Stars comes the latest in the series that's "well worth getting hooked on"(Fresh Fiction).

You'd think that being chief seer for the supernatural world would come with a few perks. But as Cassie Palmer has learned, being Pythia doesn't mean you don't have to do things the hard way. That's why she finds herself on a rescue mission skipping through time--even though she doesn't entirely understand her dimension-bending new power.

Rescuing her friend John Pritkin should have been an in-and-out kind of deal, but with the near-immortal mage's soul lost in time, Cassie has to hunt for it through the ages--with Pritkin's demon dad in tow. He's the only one who can reverse Pritkin's curse, but with the guardians of the timeline dead set on stopping anyone from mucking about, Cassie will have to figure out how to get her friend back without ruffling too many feathers--or causing a world-ending paradox or two....

Karen Chance is a fantastic writer!

Reap the Wind picks up where Tempt the Stars left off. Cassie and Rosier are traveling back through time trying to locate Pritkin and his soul. Only it’s a lot harder to hex a one-day war mage than you might think. And when the Pythias of those long ago eras get their panties in a wad about Cassie being in their time, it’s as close to impossible as anything she has been up against. And while she’s exhausting herself on this search through the ages the war is still ongoing, her court needs to be taken care of, and it’s time to set some boundaries with both the Circle and the Senate. Jonas thinks he can walk all over Cassie, Mircea thinks he can order her to do whatever he wants, and both of them want to hide her away. Thankfully rescuing her court means she has help and finally someone supporting her ideas. Rhea is the cheerleader and educator Cassie has sorely been lacking. Add back in her former savior Tami and girl power is in full swing. It’s so great to see Cassie stand up for herself and even better when Rhea does it. I love this book. It’s always fun to spend time with Rosier and we get to know Rico, a vamp bodyguard, a bit better too. Even Billy makes a brief appearance. I always love going back in time and a trip to Faerie never hurts. But the best part is how much Cassie grows into herself. She finally believes she is Pythia and trusts her own judgement. I can not wait to start Ride the Storm and keep the story rolling!!

Yes!

In Reap the Wind, the clock is ticking on Ares' return. Cassie is aware more than ever that the former Pythia's, Anges', acolytes are causing chaos and making it easier for Ares to slip through the border between their dimensions. Pritkin's, aka Merlin's, soul is slipping further away. Cassie brings Rosier along to save him. As always with a Chance novel, Reap the Wind is packed. Rosier and Cassie's interactions are a delight. They have a spark of hatred for each other that never dims through multiple centuries and miles and miles of Welsh forest. In present day, Rhea is the only remaining alcolyte that knows what she's talking about and willingly helps Cassie be an effective Pythia. Rhea really shines in this novel. The turbulent relationships with Marsden and Mircea get their spotlights. All around, I had so much fun reading Reap the Wind. See you in Ride the Storm!
