The Magic Touch.....
To me, all books have a "Magic Touch"!
Books are magic...
They take you away to an imaginary world all their own.
You can go back in time
Be a detective
Fall in love
Go to a new planet
Befriend a vampire
There are so many places to be & people to see when you read a book!
But, for today (and this hop specifically) let's talk literal magic....
One of the first books (series) I read that included literal magic was author Lauren Dane's Witches Knot series:
This series not only got me hooked on the "Magic" theme but also on Lauren Dane and almost anything she has written!
Now for some "magic" for you....

Dime Store Magic by Kelly Armstrong
ReplyDeletei love the hob bargain by Patricia briggrs it's really a wonderful fantasy romance filled with magic
ReplyDeletethank you a lot for the international giveaway
I'm a big Lauren Dane fan as well. She can definitely smoke up a scene. My big pimp out right know though, is The Awakening series by Regan Hastings. It has a really unique premise and is extremely well written.
ReplyDeletePamela Palmer's Feral Warriors series is really good! Lots of magic...and sexy shifters :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!
Unfortunately I have no adult magic favorites, my main genre is YA, but my favorites are:
ReplyDeleteAll of Maria V Snyder's books.
Kristin Cashore's books
and Tamora Pierce's books.
I highly recommend them if you are okay with YA books.
Entwined by Heather Dixon was really good! :) Thanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite magic books are probably the matter of England -- the Arthurian cycle with Merlin and the Grail Quest. It's super old school, but I think it's a major influence of all magical fiction.
ReplyDeleteHere are five that I really like and follow. Thanks for the giveaway :) DaMaris
ReplyDelete1. Magic Series by Ilona Andrews
2. Darkest London Series by Kristen Callihan (historical/paranormal)
3. Cassie Palmer series by Karen Chance (there's mages especially one called Pritkin! This series gets really good by book 3. Hope you check this one out).
4. Downside Series (Unholy Ghosts) by Stacia Kane
5. H&W Investigation Series by Jess Haines
So other than the Harry Potter series, there's also The Graceling series by Kristin Cashore (which is AMAZING) and also the Hex Hall series even if it's a light YA magic read.
ReplyDeleteMy second favorite is the The Liveship Traders trilogy by Robin Hobb (Harry Potter is my favorite).
ReplyDeleteDoes Fever series count? I like that one, oh and Dresden Files, love that one and The Hollows! Oh gosh, there is a lot and so much more to discover.

ReplyDeleteblack dagger brotherhood series by j r ward, merry gentry series by laurell k hamilton, or the darkest series by gena showalter. :)

This is an awesome blog hop! I'm a big fan of supernatural books especially romantic ones. I love magic and I love that you never know what people's abilities are going to be. It leaves so much more open to guessing because the world that the author builds all of a sudden does NOT follow our world's rules. I love when people can listen to thoughts or move things with their minds. I also think being able to control other's emotions would be a handy gift. Probably my favorite books involving people with magic are 'Beautiful Creatures' and 'Poison Study.' It must be hard to be responsible for such power. I love when Lena from 'Beautiful Creatures' is trying to harness all she has. It's something akin to the awkwardness we all go through in middle school in which we are trying to figure out who we are.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway and I'm gonna keep on hopping!

ReplyDeleteBut that aside, I'd recommend Her Mad Hatter by Marie Hall.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa and the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning.
ReplyDeleteIron Fey series by Julie Kagawa! If that counts. Since it has all sorts of characters in it as well as faerie magic!
ReplyDeleteI love the Aaron's Kiss series by Kathi S. Barton. She has all the magical creatures you could want throughout this series and some really sexy alpha males too.

ReplyDeleteThanks
staceyprice(AT)gamil.com
I am not sure of what specific kinds to recommend but two that I like with magical themes to some degree (but they are not romance types, sorry) would be anything by Raymond Feist (earlier stuff like Magician but it's pretty heavy fantasy type), The Magic Kingdom of Landover series by Terry Brooks (just sort of really fun silly stuff), and for pure silly comedy with no other purpose than to laugh the stand alone book "Gil's All Fright Diner".
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to enter the giveaway! Have a great day to you all!
