Blood Rite (Ivy Granger,Psychic Detective Book 6) Kindle Edition

How do you not become utterly intrigued with a story that starts off with the main character being tasked with tracking the graverobber responsible for zombie gerbils running loose? This whacky and wonderful series incorporates supernatural folklore with a myriad of various mythologies and never fails to offer the reader a fun and fantastic adventure with not a single dull moment. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the whimsical fantasy and have become very attached to the characters in these books. They have all grown and evolved, their relationships have changed, bonds have been forged, love and loss have been experienced. Throughout the series, to the delight of her readers, Ms. Stevens continues to challenge these tireless crusaders with highly imaginative, sometimes hilarious, and always compelling escapades. Ivy, now a much more prominent and, I would assume, influential figure in the fae hierarchy, is still completely committed to protecting Harborsmouth and its inhabitants from all supernatural threats so the stage is set, and I shall eagerly await the next adventure for her and her friends.While I did receive a free advance copy of this book, I chose to purchase a copy as well and I am voluntarily offering this honest and unbiased review.If you find this review helpful, I thank you for so indicating.

4.25 stars! I am so continuing to love Ivy Granger and all her many supernatural friends. The town of Harborsmouth is the perfect setting for this urban fantasy about a private eye for the paranormal sort. She's come a long way from how she started and by that I mean back when she could touch an object and see its history as her only real power. That meant she always had to wear special gloves. Now, she has transformed a few times and we keep meeting an Ivy with even more powers. Each book brings with it a whole new set of problems for Ivy and the gang and this book was no different. It seems that Ivy brings out more and more supernatural beings as her powers grow. She's in the midst of wedding plans for her double wedding that she and Jinx(her best friend)are having with their fiancee's. When the head of the vampires shows up with a problem he thinks only Ivy can fix, the story ramps up and becomes good urban fantasy of the save the world type. Ivy is as always the hero that saves the day-not a spoiler really as that's just Ivy. It's how she goes about saving the day that keeps this series fresh and engaging with every outing. Highly recommended to ages 15+. FYI-there is quite a bit of violence, but always justified.

This book is not as good as the rest of the series. There isn't as much depth to the action in this book so it falls flat. The outcome is never in doubt. Parts of the action was left out, as in the escape from the asylum.Ivy continues to be whiney. I got really tired of the dramatic announcements of impending death. On the flip side, I got tired hearing about how she loves everyone. I got it after the first few repetitions. I was really disappointed that Ivy is such a special snowflake. Her stories were much more exciting when there were limits to her power.

I do recommend this series. But, I read one review that said there were no editing problems. My copy is full of them. In addition, the are very annoying grammatical errors, particularly improper pronoun usage. I bother to say this, because these issues are easily avoided with competent editing.

It is very good to find a wonderful author who writes a series! More books to read!! I highly recommend this author and hope to read more of her books!

Well darn Ivy's life just keeps getting (more) as each book comes out, but Woow I did not see this coming. Love all the main characters in all the Ivy Granger series!!

I love this series! This was a great addition to Ivys story. I love the characters. I love the world. I can't get enough.

Ivy is Queen, next adventure?

These are ok, not top rate fantasy as it feels like it's still from an author who is just warming up. The thing that grates with me about the whole series is how badly edited they are. There are many mistakes which stop the flow and cause you to re-read and try to make sense of things (not plot mistakes, but grammatical errors e.g. 'we decided to continue tour zombie hunt' instead of 'we decided to continue our zombie hunt'). Other than that an ok read, which has obviously kept me buying the next in the series, so not all bad, but not highly recommended.
