Is this the man she’s heard about? I like the character’s reactions to everything she encounters. When she finds his brother who she’s heard nothing but bad things about, she’s confused. When she learns of the world Ben has been hiding from her, she’s equal parts appalled and intrigued. She is a strong, independent woman who loves fiercely and is loyal to a fault.
I like Mattie and at times I wanted to scream at her. Instead it ends with her fiancé Ben’s violent abduction and Mattie following him down the rabbit hole. Mattie Carver’s life is planned out and the engagement party should have been the start of her wonderful life. Reliquary by Sarah Fine is an interesting take on the world of magic. With Asa by her side, she’ll face not only the supernatural forces arrayed against her but the all-too-human temptation that she fears she can’t resist.
Now, from magic-laced Vegas casinos to the netherworld clubs of Bangkok, Mattie is on a rescue mission. Asa agrees to help find Ben on one condition: Mattie must use her uncommon talent to assist his smuggling operations.
Asa has the power to sense magic, and he realizes Mattie is a reliquary, someone with the rare ability to carry magic within her own body, undetected. It’s wildly addictive, capable of producing everything from hellish anguish to sensual ecstasy almost beyond human endurance.ĭetermined to find out who took Ben and why, Mattie immerses herself in a shadowy underworld and comes face-to-face with the darkly alluring Asa Ward, a rogue magic dealer, infamous hustler…and her missing fiancé’s estranged brother. But when her fiancé, Ben, is violently abducted the next morning, her desperate quest to find him rips her away from small-town life and reveals a shattering truth: magic is real-and Ben is hooked. Mattie Carver’s engagement party should have marked the start of her own personal fairy tale.
