Folkloric Lure

The Folkloric Series, Book 2

By: Karenza Grant

Narrated by: Liz May Brice

Grappling with the biggest decision of my life whilst fending off a goblin onslaught is my own special kind of chaos.

It’s almost midsummer, the weather is baking, and I’m hot and bothered by Lucas, the fickle and much-too-attractive drac, who is insisting I train as Keeper of the Bounds between the fae and human realms. It’s an enticing choice, but I can’t deny the part of me that hankers after an academic-folklore career.

When an eminent Folklorist comes to town with her team for their summer research project. I have the chance to assist and figure out what I really want. It all goes perfectly… for about five minutes, until goblins mess with our research. Add to that a load of irate golden-horned sheep, an introverted cyclops, and half a ton of glitter (most of it in my hair—don’t ask), and my opportunity for a little peaceful reflection is well and truly scuppered. What’s more, my reputation and the team’s lives are on the line.

Now, I’m not just hot and bothered, I’m ready to explode. My only solution is to head into Fae with Lucas to track down the culprits. But close proximity to an incubus is never a good thing. After a number of, um… distractions, we discover that it’s not just the folklorist’s lives in danger, it’s everyone else’s too.

Fantastic AND accessible!

Another great addition to the Folkloric series, 'Lure' is fun, funny, and heartfelt. Still plenty of chills and blood, too. But, just as the tone never gets too flippant, sad, or gory, the narrator once again hits the mark.

If you're looking for a fun, entertaining ride, with just enough feels (of the scary, gross, or teary kind), this book--and series--is an amazing find!

(And yes, I could read this book in a screen reader, but the narrator Truly brings this wonderful story to life. And, I suspect, pronounces all the French names, foods, and places Much more recognizably!)

Folkloric Lure

Folkloric Lure Book 2 in The Folkloric Series by Karenza Grant is a great addition to this fun and adventurous series. I love learning more about this world's mythology and people. Liz May Brice does an amazing job voicing the characters and has such a pleasant tone, it truly is enjoyable to listen to these stories. I highly recommend! I can't wait to start Book 3!

Camille

Camille gets a chance she has been dreaming about only to have everything that can go wrong does go wrong. So far a series worth reading and/or listening to.

Camille's persistence

Folloric Lure finds Lucas's still trying to convince Camille to become a Keeper, but Camille has other plans. Until things start to get difficult. Who is controlling everything? Why are people and gold disappearing?
The narration is amazing, you will thoroughly enjoy it!!

Get lured in!

Camille is still a folklore obsessee. Having been introduced into the realm beyond the Bounds, she’s even more enamored with the Fae and everything they bring to the world. Camille still wants, desperately, to be recognized for her knowledge and research in folklore, to have a chance getting published, but as that’s still a “someday” dream, she still lives on Grampi’s farm, helping out with the Supergoats, she still works in her best friend Alice’s mom’s pâtisserie, and she’s still trying to figure out how she feels about, and what to do with the town’s doctor, Lucas.

The times, though, they are a-changin’, and Camille isn’t impervious to the double world she lives in and the cracks still forming in the Bounds. But! The University of Toulouse’s Folklore Department (still based in a place known for imPerpect Tarrasque problem, headed by the amazing Dr. Joly (known worldwide for her work and expertise in folklore) is coming to her quiet little village to study the expansive amount of folklore that comes from the area near the Pyrenees. And the mayor (now that his head’s been forcibly removed from his metaphorical derriere) has recommended her to be their guide and assistant! This. Could. Be. It! Thiscouldbeherchance!!! Getting her research in front of Dr. Joly?! DUDE!

Lucas keeps going on about training… and her (absentee) parents are coming to town… and Grampi is doubting she can do it… and the research group isn’t everything it should be… Sacre bleu! Waitaminit… where’s everyone’s gold gotten off to? Lucas and Camille are back at it again! Oh, and those goblins we’d mentioned? Very. Very real.

A phenomenal continuation to the world of Folkloric, “Folkloric Lure” is an attention-grabbing second volume introducing the reader to this new world and setting the stage for an epic series. The prose is on point, the characters, endearing, and the plot... thickening! Savoureux! “Folkloric Lure” is an enjoyable and entertaining read, with great world-building, and great characters, and is an honest-to-goodness MUST READ!
