About book Magic On The Line (2011)

Clearly a keeper! :-)I was so excited to pick up this, the 7th book in the Allie Beckstrom series! As usual it didn't disappoint!Filled with the hiney kicking, witty commenting, magic slinging, cozy kissing and relationship challenged friends I've come to love hanging out with! Again Ms. Monk has spun a tale that kept me flipping pages for an entire night until I finished the book!This book throws a whole new twist in the chords of chaos that surround the lives of it's main characters... Allie, Zayvion, Shame and Terric! A twist that had me literally gasping out loud and shouting "NO WAY!!!" much to the consternation of beloved hubbie who was watching TV in the same room. This prompted the usual conversation of, "What's going on in your book?" and my elaborate drawn out expose' that leaves him glassy-eyed, he really needs to read them for himself! LOL! ;-)This is a series I have thoroughly enjoyed from book one to book seven. I slogged around a bit between books 2-4 but they have gotten progressively better as I learn the subtle ins and outs of my friends personalities.Unlike many "paranormal" books... those that MUST be filed under romance... more like "paranormal paramours", this has the paranormal elements with a touch of believability! Not really sci-fi or fantasy (although it is paranormal, definitely fantasy! LOL!) it is the believability that keeps me coming back for more! I often think I could be walking down the street and walk right past Allie! ;-)Enoy! OK. I'm getting a little sick of the never ending story. This isn't a series of books. It's one long telenovella in print. What I'd like to see very soon:- Some conclusion to the never ending story. OK, that's probably not going to happen. How about this instead?- A more active role by some female characters other than Allie? OK, her best friend is a woman, but she only gets trotted out occasionally and doesn't play a major role. There's another woman, a mother of one of Allie's magic using friends, who's active, but doesn't have a discernible personality. Usually, it's Allie fighting next to three or four boys. Isn't there room for another women amidst Allie's boy club? - A little less battering. How is it that so much damage gets done to these people without ongoing effects? Sure, they have scars and magic helps heal them. But don't you think that with concussion / gun wound / coma / broken limbs / hole in your heart, you'd need to go into rehab for a while? This trope -- cranky woman, battered, bruised, but continuing to fight -- is popular right now and, while admirable for showing strong, determined women, I'm getting a little worried about the preoccupation with bodily damage.

Do You like book Magic On The Line (2011)?

I love the series plot and mystery woven into all the books. A fantastic series.

They haven't told us yet but I'm pretty sure Allie is pregnant.
