See all formats and editions
With the silver murders solved and her training as a mage underway, Sunaya figured her life would get easier. But between the Chief Mage's packed schedule and the grunt work demanded of her as an apprentice mage, magic lessons are few and far between. Worse, her apprenticeship leaves little time for her job as an Enforcer, and without bounties Sunaya’s money pouch is drying up -- fast. Even so, when Shiftertown Inspector Boon Lakin asks for Sunaya’s help digging deeper into the murder of a fellow Enforcer, Sunaya has no trouble making room in her life to help him. The trail leads them to a series of crimes victimizing shifters for the entertainment of vicious humans. Sunaya and her friends race to identify the perpetrators and free the survivors, and the stakes are heightened when she discovers one of the victims has a connection to her. But if Sunaya is not careful, she may end up a very dead shifter herself... Scroll up and grab your copy today!

PRAISE FOR BURNED BY MAGIC:

"A fabulous debut." - Pippa DaCosta, international bestselling author of THE VEIL Series.

"If you're into snarky heroines, murder mysteries, kickass fight scenes, wild new worlds, and a dash of romance--Sunaya is your girl!" - Angela Roquet, author of the LANA HARVEY, REAPERS INC. Series.
"I appreciated Sunaya's character as well as the supporting characters and all of the inter-relationships between these characters. It really brought the story to life. The story took some unexpected twists, and I didn't even bother trying to figure out where it was leading. The ending was a surprise, and I look forward to book 2." - Rebecca Hamilton, USA TODAY Bestselling Author of the FOREVER GIRL Series and the CONDUIT Series.

NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL Bestselling Author Jasmine Walt is obsessed with books, chocolate, and sharp, pointy objects. Somehow, those three things melded together in her head and transformed into a desire to write. Usually fantastical stuff, with a healthy dose of action and romance. Her characters are a little (okay, a lot) on the snarky side, and they swear, but they mean well. Even the villains sometimes.

When Jasmine isn't working on her next book, you can find her practicing her RNC on the jiujitsu mats, spending time with her friends and family, or traveling the world. She loves to hear from her readers, so if you've got a question or just want to say hi, feel free to contact her via her website at www.jasminewalt.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2016

Bound by Magic picks right up where the other left off. I love the characters Naya, the Chief Mage, Fergus, and the rest of the gang! This story flows very well together, and is very easy to get caught up in the action, intrigue, and the potential chemistry crackling between Iannis and Naya! Naya is a strong, independent, loveable, trouble magnet! I could not put this book down! Jasmine Walt is very good at finishing one plot, and going straight into another that you just want to get the next book ASAP to know what is going on.

In the last book. the Chief Mage decided to make Naya his apprentice, as well as discovering the corruption and issues his new city has been hiding and has been taking actions to fix them. The Chief Mage has given Naya additional tasks, along with her training to keep her busy, but not to pay for her apartment that she has stubbornly chose to occupy outside of the palace. As long as she does what is expected of her, the Chief Mage is content to let her pursue any bounties she finds.

There is a new Shiftertown Inspector around, and he is asking for help in finding out who killed a fellow inspector, similar to the way her mentor was killed. Naya is more than happy to help and enlists her friend Ariana to come along. All their digging has led them to a suspicious bank run by humans offering too good to be true rates to shifters, and a clandestine game called the Shifter Royale. Soon Naya realizes that she has gotten too close to discovering some real answers when her cousin goes missing after a mysterious call. The clock is ticking faster than ever, and Naya will do anything to solve this case and bring back the missing weres. Even if it kills her!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love a well built world
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2016

Jasmine Walt has done IT again in her latest book! By it, I mean created literary magic for the human mind! I love a well built world, and the world building continues to be phenomenal. This series is definitely an urban fantasy. The level of writing is on a similar level as Ilona Andrews (a high level comparison), although Jasmine Walt has her own brand and style of writing. I found the imagery often building pictures or movies in my head, just the right amount of detailed descriptions to build the scene, characters, and action. The characters are believable, and the main character is sassy, independent, and not afraid to take action!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the first book of this series. Highly recommended!

Thanks to the author providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Investigation into Silver Murders Continues!
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017
Verified Purchase
Bound by Magic is the exciting continuation of  Burned by Magic , and picks up pretty much exactly where the first book left off. Sunaya Baine, a hot-headed, overly emotional, and impulsive shifter works to balance her new responsibilities to the Chief Mage while still keeping up with the silver murder investigations. Her friends seek (who are also well written, with their own strengths) support her in her quest, even though her loyalties are extending towards mages, who rule over the other races in the Northia Federation. Walt's take on shifters and mages isn't entirely run-of-the-mill, and the racial tensions between characters kept this urban fantasy fresh and new. The chemistry between Sunaya and The Chief Mage is palpable, but there's still a great deal of unresolved sexual tension that I expect will make the future books rather exciting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Detective Work
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2016

This is like a 4.79 for me. I want to give it a solid 5 stars but I'm such an impatient person, I found myself skimming to all the parts with either Sunaya and Iannis or Sunaya and the core bits of the investigation she was doing. Don't worry! I read it again because the fourth book isn't out, yet (I kinda read it all and then had to stop, think about what to do with my life, then read back to all the things I skimmed). While entertaining and awesome, this really felt more like a filler to the bigger plan at hand. You know, the episodes with really cute or cool sub-stories that have something to do with the main plot, but not REALLY? It's all about Iannis and Sunaya, you know? So her side story of an epic plot line of evil proportions was good, but in the end, it's all about romance or the main plot for me, and the main plot mainly revolves around what Iannis really is and what Sunaya will make of herself in the big scheme of things (the rebellion, the horrid current rulers, the judgments an fears, I could go on). Needless to say, this was a very good read. AMAZING if my fangirl self can come out to say. I liked the detective work we had to go through, and I figured it out when they visited the bank and officiated my assumptions. It was a good one! Sunaya was as stubborn and impatient as ever but she is slowly learning to curb her hit-first-question-later mentality, and we can appreciate that type of development in a character. I liked the way things were going with her other friends and people. Noria and Com took a bit of a backseat this time but they were still welcomed on the pages. If I had to point out a bad thing, it'd be the way it ended. Once again, she was in a rough situation because of her rashness, and Iannis had to come and save her. Again. I love being rescued as much as the next girl, but damn, it rang with the first book's ending just a little too much for me. Doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the massive save, though. It was awesome. XD This is a definite recommended read, but if you're impatient like me, I won't lie: you could skip this and not miss anything majorly crucial, though you would miss Iannis/Sunaya time, and that, my friend, is something that I couldn't miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting second volume with new adventures
Reviewed in Germany on August 16, 2017

I love and have bought the whole series. This second volume, one of the shorter books in the Baine Chronicles, offers lots of adventure as Sunaya is faced with crime and prejudice in her home town, Solantha. Not only the mysterious Benefactor, but organised crime and gambling and other crimes intertwine to bring her into deadly danger. And as soon as one crime is solved, a new and worse problem looms....

The first book of this series popped up in my feed as a recommendation. After finishing that one I immediately picked up the second. A world that is well described with 3 main races humans, the mages and shifters to populate it. I enjoyed the main character she is strong and trying to learn how to balance a life that now includes magic. Very enjoyable read.

Une supersérie très addictive autour d'une héroïne mi-mage, mi-shifter. La série est très agréable à lire. Les trois premiers tomes peuvent s'acheter en bundle, plus économique. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi il est classé dans New adult fantasy car il ne diffère en rien d'une série pour adultes.

This second book is enjoyable. Sunaya as a character continues to grow. Despite being disliked and not fully accepted because of her hybrid status, Sunaya continues to seek justice for shifters. I look forward to reading about the bigger plot at large, and finding out what the end goal is. I am waiting for the seal on Sunaya's powers to be removed to see how much stronger she gets.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Plot Thickens
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 2, 2020
Verified Purchase
I’d probably give this 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This second book of the series continues strongly with Sunaya trying to follow up with the Enforcer case into the death of her mentor. In fact she’d settle for any Enforcer case as she’s getting low on funds and would like to continue to live outside the Mage’s Palace and away from the very temping, and forbidden, Head Mage.

When she accidentally comes across Lakin, the shifter who took over for her mentor after his death, she finds him working on the file that seemed related to her mentor’s murder. Together they start to look into the case and find a slew of problems for the shifter community.

This book is heavily plot based and doesn’t focus much on the emotions or history of the characters. With a longer series you tend to have different focuses within each book, as the overall series is the driving factor in content. As such it’s sometimes hard to rate a book as an individual rather than an element of the whole. However, this lack of emotional content is the reason for the lower rating. I hope that the next book ups that part of the content.
