Tucking my hair back, I squinted at the parchment, trying to form the strange angular letters as smoothly as I could. The ink glistened wetly, but it wasn’t red ink, it was blood—my blood—which might account for the slight tremble in my hand as I copied the awkward-looking name scripted in characters that weren’t English. Beside me was a pile of rejects. If I didn’t get it perfect this time, I’d be bleeding yet again. God help me. I was doing a black curse. In a demon’s kitchen. On the weekend. How in hell had I gotten here? Algaliarept stood poised between the slate table and the smaller hearth, his white-gloved hands behind his back. He looked like a stuffy Brit in a murder mystery, and when he shifted impatiently, my tension spiked. “That isn’t helping,” I said dryly, and his red, goat-slitted eyes widened in a mocking surprise, peering at me over his smoked spectacles. He didn’t need them to read with. From his crushed green velvet frock, to his lace cuffs and proper English accent, the demon was all about show. “It has to be exact, Rachel, or it won’t capture the aura,” he said, his attention sliding to the small green bottle on the table. “Trust me, you don’t want that floating around unbound.” I sat up to feel my back crack. Touching the quill tip to my throbbing finger, my unease grew. I was a white witch, damn it, not black. But I wasn’t going to write off demon magic just because of a label. I’d read the recipe; I’d interpreted the invocation. Nothing died to provide the ingredients, and the only person who’d suffer would be me. I’d come away from this with a new layer of demon smut on my soul, but I’d also have protection against banshees. After one had nearly killed me last New Years, I’d willingly entertain a little smut to be safe. Besides, this might lead to a way to save Ivy’s soul when she died her first death. For that, I’d risk a lot.
Most of all, I love that as the title suggests, Black Magic Sanction shows Rachel embracing the fact she can twist black magic and is using it as she needs. But don t think that fast-paced means a lack of depth; this novel is another turning point of sorts for Rachel, in coming to grips with her past and everything she s ever been taught about good and bad magic.
It is always recommended to use proper language and grammar when writing or speaking, as this helps to ensure clarity and understanding. It is also important to double-check for any typos or errors before sharing information. In summary, Flyniva magif qamf does not seem to have any specific meaning or relevance.

My Previous Reviews on the Series: White Witch Black Curse, For A Few Demons More, The Outlaw Demon Wails
Blog Housekeeping:
This isn't anything super important, but apparently, some of my links in posts and the review list aren't working. I just figured it out when linking the previous review for The Hollows series. I just wanted to apologize for any frustration this may have caused. After I finish this review, I'm going to go through and make sure everything is working as it should. If I'm feeling ambitious, I might try to update the labels as well to be more helpful. No promises on that though.
Book Review:
This is honestly one of my favorite series. I love the world and imagery that Kim Harrison creates within her magical version of Cinncinati. This is the 8th book in the series, and I feel like every book leaves me hanging on the edge of my seat. Black Magic Sanction did not disappoint. This may have been one of my favorite books in the series, thus far.
I'm going to give a little overview of Rachel Morgan's world for those of you who haven't started this series. I started reading it before I created this blog, so I only have a couple of the books reviewed. Rachel Morgan started out as an "inlander" bounty hunter, inlander in this world is the paranormal. She worked alongside her partner a sassy foul-mouthed Pixie named Jenks. Rachel is an Earth Magic witch who has an unusual set of abilities for what she is. The one thing I like about this series is her abilities develops as the books go on.
I tend to read the books in this series sporadically. I'll read 2 or 3 of them, and then I tend to back off for a while before picking them up again. Because of this, my memory on the series is probably a bit fuzzy. Luckily, Kim Harrison does a great job of giving a recap while still keeping the story going forward. I've always felt that it's been an incredibly action-packed series, but I think this one was even more so. I finished it around 3:30 in the morning, and had to get the 9th book and start reading it instantly. I have problems, mainly not sleeping because there are books to read.
There's probably going to be some spoilers in the rest of this review. It's kind of hard to be eight books deep in a series and not give things away. I think that Black Magic Sanction showed Rachel's path a lot more. I've felt for some time she was going to sway more to the demon side, and I think this book more or less confirmed it. It's an interesting twist that in parts of the story Rachel felt more at home with Al in the Everafter instead of at home in her church and garden.
There's a lot of development between Rachel and Pierce in this book, and I loved it. Pierce is becoming one of my favorite characters in this series. He's extremely powerful, mysterious, and seemingly tows the line between good and evil. After a particular scene towards the end of the book, I'm interested to see where this goes. Hello. ;)
I will say, one thing that I'm kind of over in this series is the sort of sexual tension between Rachel and Ivy. It doesn't seem authentic and comes across as forced because of the Vampire Phermones. I hope this sub-plot either goes away or gets more interesting to read. I'm kind of tired of reading about Nick too. He gets even slimier each book, but I think there was quite a bit more closure on his whole situation in Black Sanction Magic. Maybe in the next book he'll get sold for a nice room in the Everafter ;).
I always love this series. If you love a good Paranormal action/adventure type of series, I highly recommend it. If you're a sucker for details, Kim Harrison does a great job of really immersing the reader into the world. She's very descriptive, with the scenery, the actions, the magic, and even the backstory. It's very consuming. I'm going to post a few select quotes I highlighted from the book since this is the first one in the series that I've read on Kindle. I love being able to do this as it shows some of the things I find interesting and gives a sample at the writing style.
"I don't know why I'd brought him from home. It had been Ivy's idea, and when an anxious vampire tells you to take your fish, you take your fish." page 2
"Tink's a Disney whore!" page 96 (and throughout the book. This is Jenk's way of swearing.)
"With all the conveniences and clean simplicity we lived in, people had lost a lot of polish." page 142
"Happy endings were never handed out. You had to fight for them, earn them with bruised hearts and sacrifices." page 185
"Perception is everything, determining how others treat us. If enough people think you're a demon, you are." page 234
"Tears could not be equal if I wept diamonds from the skies," Jenks whispered, empty and bereft. "My word silent, though I should howl, muffled by death, my wings can't lift me high enough to find you. I feel you within. Unaware of my pain. Not knowing why I mourn." He lifted his eyes to mine, a glimmer of tears showing. "And why I breathe alone." Page 313 (Just go ahead and grab yourself a box of tissues when you get to this spot.)
"Go. to hell," she said, trying to spit on him only to have it drip down her own chin. "That's what I'm trying to do," he intoned." Page 337
"Rachel, don't threaten the gargoyle; they bite" page 348
"Wishes are lies. Tell me you're going to leave. Tell me you're not going to stay. Tell me that it's only for a while so I can enjoy today." page 440
"I cannot stay," he lied for me, eyes averted. "I'm only going to be here for a time, then leave you." His gaze met mine. "And I will cry when I go because I could love you forever." Page 440, in response to the previous quote
"It stinks of sex in here, God woman. I leave you alone for one night, and you're humping the ghost." page 447
Every time I open a new Hollows adventure, I know that I’m in for a good adrenaline rush, the likes of which only Rachel Morgan can deliver.

I found "Flyniva magif qamf" to be incredibly confusing and hard to follow. The plot seemed to jump around with no clear direction and the characters were not well-developed. The writing style was also quite disjointed, making it difficult to stay engaged with the story. Overall, I was disappointed and would not recommend this book.

I had high hopes for "Flyniva magif qamf" based on the synopsis, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was extremely slow, and I found myself getting bored and uninterested in the story. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it hard for me to connect with the characters. While the concept had potential, the execution left much to be desired.
- Michael - 2 stars
"Flyniva magif qamf" had an interesting premise, but it failed to deliver on its potential. The world-building was lacking, leaving me with many unanswered questions about the magic system and the overall setting. The writing style also felt amateurish, with an abundance of clichéd phrases and predictable plot twists. Overall, I was underwhelmed by this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
- Sarah - 1 star
I struggled to finish "Flyniva magif qamf" as I found it to be overly convoluted and poorly structured. The plot seemed to meander aimlessly, and I couldn't invest in the story or the characters. The excessive use of unnecessary details and descriptions slowed down the pace even further, making it a chore to read. Unfortunately, this book was a miss for me.
