Now, I picked up this book because of similarities to the Lady Julia Grey series. His warning, along with other unfortunate incidents unnerve Emily, but she resolves to continue on with the help of Lord Andrew Palmer. When Colin finds out that Emily is making enquiries of her own he politely asks her to stop her investigations for her own good. Her suspicions are further bolstered when her late husband’s friend Colin Hargreaves begins to ask her questions about certain art pieces her husband might have owned. However when she discovers some notable pieces of art in her husband’s art collection, and discovers that similar pieces in the Museum are but copies of the originals, and that the Museum Curator is unaware of this fact, she suspects that her husband may have been involved in some shady deals. With her burgeoning knowledge, she realizes also that the husband she never knew was deeply in love with her, and is distraught at the fact that she has not appreciated the man when he was alive. As she delves deeper she finds herself interested in many of the same subjects and begins her own quest for knowledge. In mourning she finds her husband’s journal and learns about his penchant for collecting art and artifacts. Having been married to her husband wealthy Lord Philip Ashton only a short while before his death in Africa, she knows very little about him her having married him having been a matter more of convenience than of love.

Obviously she can't just stand by and let them both be killed, so she traipses into the forbidden zone to save their lives. This totally seems fine until Serena sees a Flayer chasing a female Ordosian and her baby. They can hunt in any area that isn't "off-limits" because land is sacred to the Ordosians and punishment for trespass is severe (read: death). The snake men (Ordosians) are allowing them to hunt these menacing scorpion creatures called Flayers that, as the apex predators on the planet, are causing population issues with more vulnerable species. Serena is a hunter for the federation and they've just been granted exclusive access to a planet filled with snake men called Trangor. To my surprise, though, I MARRIED A NAGA has a totally different and, yet, no less exciting plot than the other book in the series. Sequels like this can be hard because book one snags people in for the novelty, but then you don't want to just churn out the same cookie cutter plot for all the sequels, either. I MARRIED A NAGA is a totally different, uh, kettle of snakes than LIZARDMAN. I was prepared to snark and struggle my way through the book and instead I was like WHERE'S THE SEQUEL I NEED IT NOW. I picked up I MARRIED A LIZARDMAN fully expecting to hate it, so you can imagine my surprise when it ended up being an utterly charming and well-developed alien romance that was basically like a typical marriage of convenience plot with dashes of Harvest Moon in space. It isn't really a book you would read from cover to cover but one that is more of a reference guide that you can dip in and out of when necessary. I wouldn't usually have gone in to read this one but I was intrigued as to what it would suggest and so here we are. I have regular blogs on Patheos Pagan (Beneath the Moon) and Witches & Pagans (Hedge Witch) My craft is a combination of old religion witchcraft, wicca, kitchen witchery, hedge witchery and folk magic. It is also my pleasure to contribute articles regularly to the Pagan Dawn, Magical Times and Fate & Fortune magazines. I am High Priestess of the Kitchen Witch Coven and an Elder at the online Kitchen Witch School of Natural Witchcraft. I regularly give talks to local pagan groups and co-run open rituals and workshops run by the Kitchen Witch Coven. I love to learn, I love to study and I have done so from books, online resources schools and wonderful mentors over the years and still continues to learn each and every day but I have learnt the most from actually getting outside and doing it. I am a witch.have been for a very long time, not the green skinned warty kind obviously.the real sort but I am also a working wife and mother who has also been lucky enough to write and have published a book or eighteen. |
