Rendition To Books Forever and Always (Montgomery/Taggert (Publication order) #25)
*Reread Review*I have to be completely honest and admit that it never occurred to me how odd it was for a series to head in a direction like this one does. In fact of allllllll the series I have read, I have never before or since first reading it, read a series that moves quite like this one. Probably 98% of books I read are series..
We are back with Darcy but she is not the same as the Darcy we knew. Having lived with and developed her powers over the years she has been through a lot, even working with the FBI finding people and things.. but with all her powers, which get demonstrated in this book, and are quite extensive she can't find the one she truly wants... Adam has been missing and something is blocking her from finding him and his sister Bo. In the height of her depression spending most of her time in trances and meditation desperate for her husband back, her dear ole mom sends a client to her who needs a little help finding his missing son. Lincoln Aimes, famous actor, funny, charming, and oh so gorgeous comes to Darcy completely at a loss how she could possibly help him. His son, who he has never met, due to some decisions he made back when he was a struggling actor to make some cash, has gone missing. Through the years though he wasn't allowed to ever have contact or be involved in his life, Lincoln has kept tabs on him until mysteriously the kid and mom go missing and his lawyer who knew about him ends up dead.. Darcy not wanting to be distracted from her search for Adam grudgingly agrees to send him in the right direction because her mother has never asked for anything before. Upon meeting however, Darcy gets her first feeling about Adam.. she knows if she helps this man it will somehow lead to her finding Adam. Now on their way to the heart of the south, in disguise they search for clues to the missing boy and Darcy slowly gets more clues to finding Adam.. including artifacts like the mirror that she may end up needing to find him.. as well as save the people she is starting to care for and maybe even the world.
So I remember reading this at first and hating Lincoln.. not because he was a bad guy but because I thought the author was setting him up to take Adam's place. To my intense relief that is not the case! I ended up loving this one just as much and then even more than the last. I wish Darcy's life of mystery solving went on forever but I can see why it doesn't. I mean the paranormal crime solver thing has been done quite a bit over the years... But still here is to hoping for a Darcy series in the future lol.
I can definitely see why people are confused at the end here but in all truth in order to see where this is headed you definitely have to read the 3rd book in the series. Right now, we have a tiny bit of knowledge and only a small part of what we need to find Adam and Bo, but Darcy is meant for great things....

This is the second book in the Forever series. It was good. I didn't like it as much as the first book. The main character is looking for her husband who has been kidnapped by a bad witch. She must find him before he is killed.You really need to read the third book, Always, to understand all that is going on.Darci's husband, Adam, and his sister have been kidnapped. Darci has to send her daughter and neice to family in Colorado to be away from the Hillbilly Honey accusations that Darci killed her husband for money. Her father is traveling everywhere looking for clues...and even with all Darci's powers she can not find her true love. Lincoln is sent by her mother to search for his son...maybe this search in an old
I sort of liked the second part of Darci's story. She's still learning about her powers and we're now seeing that there's a lot more going on in this not-a-romance-novel book. The character she's helping, Linc, is the second point of view in the book. There's a lot of sexual tension that can get pretty uncomfortable given the fact that she loves Adam and we definitely don't want our heroine to give in to it even though we know Adam's been missing. I guess there was a purpose for this, I must
Darci's Adam and his sister Bo are missing, she has been raked over the coals by the press for possibly murdering him for his money, and her father leaves to track down a missing magical artifact. All alone, Darci's mother sends a talented and beautiful black actor, Lincoln Aimes, to her for help in finding his missing son. They go through many gyrations to find him and it becomes clear that Darci and her powers are being tested. I was disappointed that there was no romance in this book, just
This book was kind of a supernatural mystery with romantic elements - hard to classify. Not my usual type of book but I know some people love this author so I thought I'd give it a chance. Like breezygirl, I found this book had a few too many ghosts and spirits for my liking. I had a hard time relating to the main characters - Darci, a petite woman with supernatural powers whose husband is missing and Linc, a handsome male actor whose son is missing. Despite this, I found parts of the story
A tantalizing magical novelPart two of a three part trilogy. This part is a continuation of the first story. I found it intreging, but full of magic, spirits and of course ghosts.
