Gamer. Nerd. Sorceress.

This is the omnibus of the first three books in the USA Today bestselling urban fantasy series Twenty-Sided Sorceress, collected together for the first time in one convenient volume. Fans of The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid Chronicles will enjoy this series.

Book One- Justice Calling:

Jade Crow lives a quiet life running her comic book and game store in Wylde, Idaho. After twenty-five years fleeing from a powerful sorcerer who wants to eat her heart and take her powers, quiet suits her just fine. Surrounded by friends who are even less human than she is, Jade figures she's finally safe.

As long as she doesn't use her magic.

When dark powers threaten her friends' lives, a sexy shape-shifter enforcer shows up. He's the shifter world's judge, jury, and executioner rolled into one, and he thinks Jade is to blame. To clear her name, save her friends, and stop the villain, she'll have to use her wits... and her sorceress powers.

Except Jade knows that as soon as she does, a far deadlier nemesis awaits.

Book Two- Murder of Crows:

They say you can never go home again. If only that were true...

Game store owner and nerd sorceress extraordinaire Jade Crow knows death stalks her in the form of her murderous ex-lover, Samir, a sorcerer who wants to eat her heart and take her power. With the help of her friends, and sexy tiger-shifter Alek, Jade trains for the inevitable confrontation.

Until her estranged father shows up begging for help. Someone or something is murdering the crow shifters of Three Feathers ranch and her father believes sorcery is the only way to stop the killings.

Faced with an unknown foe, a family that exiled her decades before, a deepening relationship with Alek, and Samir's ever-present threat, Jade will need all the power she's gained and then some to stop the Murder of Crows.

Book Three- Pack of Lies:

Let sleeping dogs lie. Wolves, on the other hand...

Recovering from a broken heart and coming to terms with her family history, all sorceress Jade Crow wants is to resume running her comic book store and gaming with her friends. With a town full of strange wolf shifters, a hundred-and-fifty-year-old peace accord hanging in the balance, and the Justice who broke her heart back in her life, Jade's plans go out the proverbial window.

Wolves are killing wolves, innocent human lives are caught in the crossfire, and not everyone in town is who they appear to be. As the bodies stack up and the doubts build, Jade and her friends race to find the true killer.

And then Jade's evil ex-lover makes another move...

I found this book to be an easy read. It flowed well. I liked the call back to D&D and the snippets that were thrown in. As a former player myself I appreciated the knowledge that was apparent from the author. The story line was deep enough to keep me interested. When I finished I immediately sought out the next books in the series.

Two hitches I found was the love interest and her heritage. They were underdeveloped and a bit unbelievable but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book as a whole.

Book two
Another good read from this author. Great continuity of characters. Basically they acted the way I'd expect them to given what the author has provided so far. I found the development on this one a little more difficult to follow but still enjoyable. I'm glad I read it but can't say it's her strongest work. Key components were sprung on the reader and didn't quite tie in as well as I would have liked. Having said that, I'll still read the next but did find this to be a little weaker than the first.

I found this book a little harder to get into. As her heritage was so absent from the previous book accepting how much of a role it played in her life was a little difficult for me.

Book Three
I found this one was a bit more grounded with character development and story line I enjoyed more than book two. The character development was one i could buy into a bit more. the MPOV made more sense to me. The struggle with what to do, worry for friends and loved ones and pushing to be all she can be really drew me in. I'm excitedly waiting for the next installment.

I really love the geeky interwoven component of this story line. The geek references made feel like the author gets it which is nice. Great job overall.

I’m not a huge reader of light fantasy any more. The descent of Charlaine Harris and Laurel K. Hamilton into the porn sphere really turned me off and since many authors followed their lead, I pretty much gave up on it. Now if I’m going to read fantasy it will usually be someone like Daniel O’Malley or Ben Aaronovitch. But I’ve stumbled on a couple of new writers recently who give me hope for the genre. I found Melissa F. Olson through Kindle First (her second “Boundary” novel is next up for me) and then I discovered Annie Bellet’s “Twenty Sided Sorceress” (on sale for 99 cent no less) after a mention on John Scalzi’s blog. I have to say that is was a welcome light read after some heavier non-genre stuff I’ve picked up recently.

I find the various labels for fantasy confusing. Urban fantasy? Paranormal romance? Beats me. “Twenty Sided Sorceress” is what I call “Oh My” fantasy-as in “Witches and werewolves and vampires, oh my!”. Although in this case no vampires- yet :) Like most books in this category it may seem a bit formulaic- beautiful, powerful heroine fighting evil and surrounded by a cast of other magical characters (including a hunky hero, of course). But that’s OK- most genre fiction fits into some kind of formula whether it is the quirky detective facing a mind bending puzzle in golden age mysteries or a world weary “knight in tarnished armor” facing big city corruption in Pulp Noir. Genre books win or lose in the details and in this case Bellet wins with smooth writing, engaging characters and an interesting setting.

Most fantasies of this type have a “normal” side story mentioned (books, baking, etc) that makes the story more interesting for me. In this case it is the “gaming” world including Dungeons and Dragons and online gaming. While that isn’t my idea of fun, the references were interesting and it added depth to the characters. I do know enough about that world from following sci fi discussions to have appreciated a reference to “gamergate” and think anyone actually involved in gaming would appreciate it even more. (For the uninitiated, it was a group of basement dwellers going online and threatening female gamers with violence)

“Twenty Sided Sorceress” is actually three novellas rather than three books so it was a quick, pleasant read that I enjoyed a lot. I should say that there was lots of swearing and paranormal violence but thankfully no graphic sex scenes. I will definitely be looking for the next in the series

My sister kept bugging me to read this series and now I know why. I could not put the book down. I found the large story arc that flowed through the three books feel like they were more like tests for her and how she would handle them. Though I do believe she could have handled the one with her family much better, however, we are human and we can and will make mistakes. It is good to see that an author is willing to let her character show flaws and not be perfect. I believe that actually makes for a much better read than one that has no flaws at all. Then the book becomes predictable and these are so not predictable.

I do have an understanding of gaming and lightly brushed it a bit and yet what I like is that she also wrote the story in such a way that you do not need to have an understanding of gaming at all to enjoy the books. Gaming with dice rolls and spell crafting with levels can get very complicated and it would throw me out of the story in a heartbeat because of my lack of understanding. I am very grateful that she did not do this to her readers.

Overall I will say the storyline for each book is believable, the characters develop over time and become more complex and only encourage me to continue to read the series.

Après avoir découvert le premier volet, qui est une histoire assez courte, j'ai été assez convaincu par les deux suites. Certes elles sont de plus en plus longues, ce qui est dans la logique du moment, mais la qualité ne baisse pas, bien au contraire.
Les personnages sont convaincants, les livres sont rythmés avec beaucoup d'action (et peu d'introspections), l'univers est relativement solide, l'humour est présent sans être trop pesant comme c'est souvent le cas dans ce type de littérature.
Une bonne série.

Jade lived peacefully for 5years before the sh*t hit the fan. Alek walks onto her shop accusing her of being at the crossroads of death, wow what a start this took them on a journey a mission to fight to save shifters and to save Jade. These books take you on a journey to save a town save the people regardless of their breed. Samir hates Jade with a vengeance he will do anything to kill her and use anyone to help him. Though Alek and Jade start on opposing sides they end up on the same side supporting each othe. Harper and Max are part of the team of gamers Rose their mum all foxes Alek is a Siberian white tiger and Jade the sauceres with help from wolves alphas and all the shifters defeat Eva although another justice is there to take over the running of the wolf peace kill Jade and Alek well that was her plan.I enjoyed these paranormal stories and recommend to likewise lovers

Urban Fantasy series. In fact book 1-7 are best read after another in sequence. The stories are self contained but part of a larger story, and they refer to earlier chapters. Book 8 is a sequel of what happened after the big story in 1-7. I would consider the content Adult.
I bought the Omnibus1-3 and immediately decided to buy the rest of the books after finishing the omnibus.

Purchased the first 3 books together, glad I did as I wanted to follow Jade’s story after the first book. Not your usual paranormal person Jade is a geek girl who owns a games store. Refreshing change from my usual urban fantasy can definitely recommend.
