In the shadows of Ravenholde, the things you can't see will kill you.

With the infection ravaging our mystical town and no antidote in sight, tensions between the Shadow Council members are at an all-time high.

When I start to find a place within the Shifter community, Caton shows signs that he may have been hasty in ending our marriage, but Lucinda turns the coven against me to ensure I can never return. The controversy with the Council initiates an argument with Ayesha, my mentor, and business partner, and I'm faced with losing my shop and the means to help the people of Ravenholde.

Do I turn my back on the town that raised me or risk losing the one thing in the world that's mine?

All Good Magic Comes to an End is the second book in Trim's & Didmon's Shrouded Nation series. It is a paranormal romance featuring a witch named Eve. The story picks up where it left off at the end of the first book. They are not standalone and should be read in order.

In this fantasy realm, there seems to be some kind of disease that is affecting supernaturals. Fortunately, Eve has crafted a potion to cure those who have been afflicted. One would think that this would be well received by the entire community however such is not the case. Her ex-husband Caton sits on the Shadow Council and will do everything he can to keep her down. He has never had her best interests at heart. Add to that, Caton's new paramour is the leader of the witches and the head of Eve's coven. Understandably, Eve has no respect for the woman (Lucinda) who sees Eve as a threat.

Fortunately she does have a couple of people in her circle. Her best friend, Nishi, the first hunter sent by the God Artemis, Hunter, the alpha of the local werewolf pack, and now Faith, a bounty hunter with a demon grandfather. (You can't help put cheer for the three women!) She does have a mentor, Ayesha, who helped her buy her store, but something isn't quite right there.

Eve has a good heart. If she can help someone, that's what she will do. She doesn't let prejudices (such as that which exists between the witches and werewolves) stop her from doing what is right. In addition to trying to track down Rerek, the God of Chaos, who seemingly is behind this virus of sorts, she spends her time creating new batches of her cure and administering it to those in need.

Amidst everything going on, Eve is also navigating her new feelings for Hunter. There is clearly a mutual attraction however the man sends too many mixed messages leaving Eve confused about where they stand.

When the local witch healer, Henrietta, makes Eve seeks the coven's permission for dispensing her cure to the other supernaturals, things take a definite turn. Eve finds herself very alone, and her future uncertain.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Naomi Rose-Mock. My ADHD-brain enjoys listening to stories as it frees up my hands for other things. Having read or listened to many of Didmon's books, and some of Trim's I knew what I was getting into. They tend to release longer stories piecemeal, leading to multiple books in a series. Each of the books is bite-sized, gradually unraveling the mystery, and allowing readers to learn more about the characters, and get pulled into their world.

Personally, I love books with witches and supernatural elements. I tend to enjoy the leading female characters in Didmon's and Trim's books, especially when they are middle aged. This was no different. I've now read both the first and second installments and I'm keen to get my hands on the third to further explore this storyline.

I liked the premise of the first book in this series so was intrigued to know how the story would be continued. This second book didn't let me down.

There was a good mix of action, fantasy and romance, with a little bit of spice to keep things interesting.

The characters were given more depth this time which was missing from the first book.

Once again though, this ended on a strange cliffhanger that felt more like the end of a chapter, than the end of a book. I really think this series should have been combined into several larger books rather than lots of short stories.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Good second instalment
