I’m utterly smitten with Martine Cullum’s “Moons & Runes: Legacy”. It’s the opening act of the Moons & Runes Private Investigators series, and oh boy, what a dazzling intro it is!
Meet Thea Dawson, our brilliant protagonist, who’s thrown headfirst into the deep end, trying to juggle her family’s ancient legacy with some freshly discovered magical powers. And the setting? An atmospheric New Age store named ‘The Pentacle’. It’s the kind of place you’d want to hang out in all day, sipping herbal tea and browsing through old spellbooks.
Cullum truly shines in her storytelling. She effortlessly weaves friendship, romance, and a touch of 18th-century witchcraft into a narrative that keeps you glued. The way she flits between the present and historical times is nothing short of captivating. You get this amazing sense of being connected to a story much larger than yourself, one that spans centuries.
And let’s talk about the audio experience. The narration is top-tier. Every character comes alive, making you feel like you’re right in the middle of this magical whirlwind. The narrator truly transports you into Thea’s world, making every twist and turn all the more exhilarating.
In essence, if you’re scouting for an urban fantasy that’s packed with heart, soul, and a sprinkle of enchantment, “Moons & Runes: Legacy” is your jam. Dive in, and let it sweep you off into a world where magic isn’t just real, but it’s deeply personal. I can’t wait for the next ride in this series!
