Book Review: "Deadly Vows" by Keri Arthur



Evil comes in all forms … and sometimes it wears a human mask.

When the body of a newlywed is discovered on the reservation, Lizzie Grace throws herself into the investigation, needing a distraction from what she fears is coming not only for her but also Belle—her best friend and witch familiar.

But as the body count grows and a desperate race begins to track down a supernatural entity capable of powerful magic, it becomes evident another deadly game has begun—one they may not win.

Because the past—and the man—they ran from thirteen years ago has finally caught up with them. - from Goodreads.com

This is Book 6 of the Lizzy Grace series by Keri Arthur.

'Deadly Vows' takes place in a fictional reservation in Australia, and continues the story of Lizzy Grace and her human familiar Belle. I won't expand on their background as it is covered more in earlier books. In this latest release, Lizzy and Belle have to confront a person from their past as well as deal with the murder of newlyweds from a supernatural source. Lizzy learns more about the Wild Magic, and expands her relationship with the local Ranger, and werewolf Aiden.

I don't remember when I first came across this series, as I had not read anything by Keri Arthur before book one in this series ('Blood Kissed'). After reading the beginning of the series, I felt hooked in. Arthur has am easy to read style of writing without over-detailing a scene. Main character is written with depth decently, but when it comes to side characters, the depth of character is lacking a bit. Would like to see more of what makes Aiden and Belle tick, let alone some of the others. I'm not big on romance bits of stories, and found the level of romantic interaction/description to be acceptable. Overall I enjoyed this book, and look forward to at least a couple more stories.
