Tamagotchi Purloe Magic is a virtual pet game created by Bandai. It is a modern version of the popular 90s toy, Tamagotchi. The game allows players to care for and raise their own virtual pets. In Tamagotchi Purloe Magic, players can choose from a variety of different pets, each with their own unique abilities and characteristics. They can then nurture their pets, feed them, play with them, and even help them evolve into different forms. The game also features a magic system, where players can cast spells to help their pets grow and evolve.
Which is what this entry in the series turns out to be about. Two people who think they can do their criminal predecessors one better, and two people who stand in their way. And eventually stand together to do it.
Harmony is absolutely wild enough and definitely weird enough to resemble the Weird West, but it s a far-future lost colony world that presented some unique challenges to the first settlers and still does to their descendants even two centuries later. Since Ravenna needs a date herself to a family event, they agree to a deal she will be his business date if he will be her fake date to her grandparents anniversary celebration.
The game also features a magic system, where players can cast spells to help their pets grow and evolve. These spells can be obtained through various means, such as leveling up or completing quests. Each spell has its own effects and can be used strategically to enhance the pet's abilities.

FINAL DECISION: Fun, filled with action and romance, I loved Ravenna and Ethan’s story. I especially like that this book draws from so many other books in the Harmony and Arcane series. Makes me want to read a whole bunch of them again.
THE STORY: Ravenna Chastain becomes a matchmaker when she is almost killed by a cult while doing an investigation. But matchmaking has its own troubles. Ravenna’s major problem is Ethan Sweetwater, who Ravenna can’t match even after nine failed dates. When Ravenna tries to get rid of Ethan, he threatens to cause problems unless she accompanies him to a business event. In exchange, he will accompany her to a family function where she needs a date. In the process, there are failed dates that appear obsessed with stalking Ravenna and goons who come to attack Ethan. As Ravenna and Ethan investigate, they also grow closer.
OPINION: I think the Harmony books are my favorite of Krentz/Castle/Quick these days. There is such humor in them, and combined with the action and the surprise of the various talents that the characters possess, I always look forward to reading them. Plus, there are the dust bunnies, who are just hilarious.
Ravenna is in danger, but she isn’t a damsel in distress. Instead, she is perfectly capable of taking care of her own problems. But I liked that she was willing to ask for help. She is competent and able to remake herself when something goes wrong. That is something that many of Castle’s heroines have in common on Harmony. They often have faced losses that require them to reconfigure their lives — to reinvent themselves. I’ve always admired that quality in her heroines.
Ethan is a bit less successful as a character, although I really liked his focus on Ravenna and his determination to do whatever he needs to do to prove there is something special between them. He is thoughtful and yet also manages to focus on solving problems — in this case the danger that seems to surround both him and Ravenna.
I thought that the mystery/suspense in the story was well constructed with plenty of twists and turns to keep the action moving. But I read these books for the connection between the characters; this one does not disappoint. Ethan and Ravenna have some witty banter between them. Dialogue is one of the author’s strengths. Often the book seems to call back to the clever banter of the 1940s movies — but with a paranormal twist.
Fans will not be disappointed because this book fits nicely in the series with some fun twists.
WORTH MENTIONING: I loved that this book intensely focused on the mythology of previous Harmony/Ghost Hunter books and even the Arcane books. However, I wonder if new readers are confused by the villain’s motivations.
CONNECTED BOOKS: SWEETWATER & THE WITCH is the fifteenth book in the Harmony/Ghost Hunters series. It is also connected with the Arcane series. The following books are noted at the end as being connected: GUILD BOSS (Castle), OBSIDIAN PREY (Castle), and ALL THE COLORS OF THE NIGHT (Krentz).
STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.

Reviews for "Exploring the Different Realms of Tamagotchi Purloe Magic"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really excited to try out Tamagotchi purloe magic, but I have to say I was pretty disappointed. The game felt extremely repetitive and didn't offer much variety in terms of gameplay. Additionally, the graphics were not very appealing and the animation was quite choppy. I also found it difficult to navigate through the menus and understand the objectives of the game. Overall, I feel like there are much better virtual pet games out there that offer a more engaging and enjoyable experience.
2. Mike - 1/5 - I found Tamagotchi purloe magic to be extremely boring and tedious. The tasks and activities available were very limited and quickly became repetitive. The game lacked any real depth or challenges, making it feel like a mindless time-waster. The graphics and visuals were also quite outdated and bland. I was expecting a more immersive and interactive virtual pet experience, but this game fell far short of my expectations. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining and engaging gaming experience.
3. Jessica - 2/5 - Tamagotchi purloe magic did not live up to the hype for me. The gameplay mechanics were convoluted and confusing, and I struggled to understand how to properly care for and interact with my virtual pet. The game also lacked clear instructions and guidance, leaving me feeling lost and frustrated. The graphics and visuals were decent, but the overall gameplay experience was lackluster and uninteresting. I found myself quickly losing interest and ultimately gave up on the game. It's unfortunate, as I had high hopes for this new addition to the Tamagotchi franchise.
