Resumen del Editor

Gamer. Nerd. Sorceress.

This is the omnibus of the first three books in the USA Today best-selling urban fantasy series Twenty-Sided Sorceress, collected together for the first time in one convenient volume. Fans of The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid Chronicles will enjoy this series.

Book One - Justice Calling

Jade Crow lives a quiet life running her comic book and game store in Wylde, Idaho. After 25 years fleeing from a powerful sorcerer who wants to eat her heart and take her powers, quiet suits her just fine. Surrounded by friends who are even less human than she is, Jade figures she's finally safe.

As long as she doesn't use her magic.

When dark powers threaten her friends' lives, a sexy shape-shifter enforcer shows up. He's the shifter world's judge, jury, and executioner rolled into one, and he thinks Jade is to blame. To clear her name, save her friends, and stop the villain, she'll have to use her wits and her sorceress powers.

Except Jade knows that as soon as she does, a far deadlier nemesis awaits.

Book Two - Murder of Crows

They say you can never go home again. If only that were true.

Game store owner and nerd sorceress extraordinaire Jade Crow knows death stalks her in the form of her murderous ex-lover, Samir, a sorcerer who wants to eat her heart and take her power. With the help of her friends, and sexy tiger-shifter Alek, Jade trains for the inevitable confrontation.

Until her estranged father shows up begging for help. Someone or something is murdering the crow shifters of Three Feathers ranch and her father believes sorcery is the only way to stop the killings.

Faced with an unknown foe, a family that exiled her decades before, a deepening relationship with Alek, and Samir's ever-present threat, Jade will need all the power she's gained and then some to stop the Murder of Crows.

Book Three - Pack of Lies

Let sleeping dogs lie. Wolves, on the other hand.

Recovering from a broken heart and coming to terms with her family history, all sorceress Jade Crow wants is to resume running her comic book store and gaming with her friends. With a town full of strange wolf shifters, a 150-year-old peace accord hanging in the balance, and the Justice who broke her heart back in her life, Jade's plans go out the proverbial window.

Wolves are killing wolves, innocent human lives are caught in the crossfire, and not everyone in town is who they appear to be. As the bodies stack up and the doubts build, Jade and her friends race to find the true killer.

And then Jade's evil ex-lover makes another move.

REALLY Enjoyed these first 3 books

Annie Bellet did a great job of writing these stories. I can't wait to start book number 4. This story grabbed me from the beginning and didn't let go. I was so glad there were 3 books because it kept the story going for me. The narrator was excellent. She did a wonderful job with each character. I thought the relationship between Jade and Alek happened quite quickly. But, the story wasn't very long, so I guess the process had to be sped up. Still great story with a lot of twists and turns, always with the villain in the background. I'm sure his time is coming up in one of the next books. Looking forward to the next installation of this series.

Good stories but short

If you could sum up The Twenty-Sided Sorceress Series, Books 1-3 in three words, what would they be?

A Nerdy girl writes a set of short stories full as if Buffy (Series) was a D&D playing sorceress.

What did you like best about this story?

It had a good rythm, felt almost eposidic, would probably make a good tv series.

What about Folly Blaine’s performance did you like?

She was a good reader, with consistent change in tempo to match what was going on.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Jade the bad mage killer.

Any additional comments?

While I like the books, I could not justify paying the asking prices for the books individually due to the length of the books, which means I will either need to read the rest of wait until the next collection before I can continue with the series.

Main character has a limited vocabulary

Though author has potential to write a good book this doesn’t quite hit the mark and way too many F##ks for me. Also, next books are a credit each for 3 hrs. Not worth pursuing this series in my opinion.

It's Okay

The first story was ok, but, I'm not sure if I wll read the next two stories. The plot was predictable and a bit flat. However, the characters and the world created is interesting.

Good but could use more development

The story is good, but the characters could use some more development. They are a bit thin. The love interest seemed like it was just thrown in. It really was not needed. I will probably get the next one. I am interested enough to see what happens next.

The narration was excellent. Really to marks there and it makes up for any short comings of the story.

great

i loved it. im definitely l8oking forward to more if her books. very action packed. some drama n humor

Most Impressive

A nerd/geek sorceress, foul mouth ,non white and enough nerdom references to make any True Believer smile. I did not have high hopes for these books( the wanna be Potter/Twilight/True blood everywhere) but this refreshing take on a well travelled story road was a welcome surprise. That is such a rarity these days.

Entertaining. I'm going to stick with the series..

Enjoyed the references to D&D, sci-fi / fantasy and action movies from the '80s. Also liked the main character's inner dialogue; that blend of sarcasm meets what's avceptable to actually SAY...

Highly entertaining

A bit short, but highly entertaining.i look forward to the future misadventures of Jade and get 'Scooby Gang'.

A great story for nerds all around

A wonderful story where real life and magic mix with a nerd of unspeakable power. The stories seem real with not everything being tied up in a perfect little happily ever after bow that makes the MC Jade seem much more real and relatable to the reader as she builds herself up more and more after every setback and challenge. can't wait to hear more!

In the beginning the reader sounded a little robotic but quickly fell into the flow of characters as the chapters grew and now i can't hear Jade any other way in my head!
