Order of Blood and Ruin: Spoiler Post

Greetings, Champions! The Order of Blood and Ruin is officially released! Did you read it yet? I’m bringing back the tradition of a Spoiler Post because I want to give you blog-reading Champions a place to voice your reading thoughts during this initial book launch so please talk away! Warning: If you haven’t gotten a chance to read The Order of Blood and Ruin, book 3 in the Magic on Main Street series, then I’d suggest waiting before you check out the rest of the post or read the comments, or you’ll spoil the story for yourself!

As usual, I’ve will be writing short story as my “thank you” for the launch of this new book and for it reaching 100 reviews–that’s 100 honest reviews pooling from Goodreads and all the Amazon stores! Speaking as a reader, honest reviews can help readers decide if a book is the type of story they want to try. Reviews and ratings are a big deal for authors and I’m so thankful that you’re willing to spend your time leaving a review–which is why I’m happy to write the shorts! I'm really excited for your to see the bonus short and I'll be watching to release it as soon as we hit the 100 mark. But until then, let’s talk spoilers!

So, Champions, now that the series is over, I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on the Task Force, Killian's siblings, or slayers in general? What was your favorite scene in the series? Or what was your favorite Jade + Considine scene?

Order of Blood and Ruin: Available for Pre-Order

The final book in the Magic on Main Street trilogy, The Games of Enemies and Allies is available for preorder, and is releasing in a few days on April 5th! And for today's news I have the book description I get to share with you! (IMPORTANT: This description contains SPOILERS for the previous book in the series! If you haven’t started reading this series yet, you’ll want to skip reading this description!) What else is coming this week? There is not going to be a Spot It! tracker for this story because there aren't any new cameos to watch for. But I am definitely bringing back this game for future series as it was so much fun! I’ll also be publishing a new Book Spoilers blog post so you can discuss the book and all your theories with other Champions right here on the website. Or if you prefer, you can join the conversation on Discord or Facebook. And I am once again going to be offering a bonus short story when we get 100 honest reviews across Goodreads + Amazon for The Games of Enemies and Allies. Thank you in advance for every Champion who leaves a review on Goodreads or Amazon, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with other readers. 😍 The last two book releases reached the 100 threshold in record time, and I'm hoping we have a similar response this time because I am sooo excited for you to read this short story - it was a ton of fun for me to write.

Amazon.com  |  All other Amazon storesThey used to be enemies. Now they’re partners. I never imagined Considine Maledictus—one of the most powerful vampires alive—would go from ruling the streets at night to joining the supernatural task force just to become my partner, but here we are. Considine claims he “fancies” me. He also used to hide his identity and pose as my charming next-door neighbor, so forgive me if I don’t believe him. As bad as that is, my work life is worse. My slayer identity—kept a secret since a lone slayer is an easy target—has been leaked by a suspect from a previous case. This brings a new level of danger to my job, especially since the suspect is obviously holding a grudge against me. But I’m more worried about my city. Bad things are going down, and whatever is stirring in the shadows is more than I can handle alone. Can I trust Considine to watch my back when he used to be the biggest threat to my life? And why is it that despite everything that has happened, a part of me wonders if it’s possible for a slayer and vampire to be together…

Order of Blood and Ruin: How to Get Ready!

Let's get ready to rock and roll, Champions, as we are about 9 days away from the release of the Order of Blood and Ruin, the final book in the Magic on Main Street trilogy! Many of you have been reading each book as it is released but others have been waiting until all three books are out before you start. Since there's been a lot of fun games and short stories as part of this series, I want to make sure all of you are "in the know" for all the fun stuff, so please enjoy this handy checklist!

Before you start the series (or book 3):

1. I highly recommend you read the Hall of Blood & Mercy trilogy first if you have time. The Magic on Main Street trilogy is almost a direct sequel to the Hall of Blood and Mercy series and you will better catch the cameos and other references if you have recently read the Hall of Blood and Mercy series.

2. Read the prequel short story: A Vampire Visit. In this story Killian (from Hall of Blood and Mercy) introduces you to the main hero of Magic on Main Street, and you quickly learn a lot more important facts about Killian Drake!

3. Play a round of Old Maid and Go Fish. I know this sounds crazy but if you are familiar with the rules it will make some scenes in the books make more sense!

4. Review the Magiford Series timeline so you understand how this new series fits with the other trilogies. Click here for the timeline.

5. I have more suggestions for how to prepare for the new series, including a cool ASMR video I found, on this blog post.

Get the books:

Book 1: Amazon.com | All other Amazon stores Book 2: Amazon.com | All other Amazon stores Pre-order Book 3: Amazon.com  |  All other Amazon stores

Book 1 Goodies:

1. Spot it! Cameo tracker (Hard Version): For this series we introduce a new game where you can use the tracking page provided in this blog post to catch each cameo you find from another Magiford series. This is the version of the tracker that only includes an image hint and doesn't list the name of the character or place.

2. Spot it! Cameo tracker (Easy version): This version of the Cameo tracker includes the image hint + the name of the character/place so you can use it for hints if you get stuck.

3. Read the bonus short story: Family Bonding  This bonus short story is a prequel to the series so it doesn't spoil any events from the books, but it gives you a closer look at Jade's background and the relationship she has with her family.

Book 2 Goodies:

1. Spot it! Cameo tracker (Hard Version): There is a new tracking page for all the new cameos found in this book (any character or place that appeared in book # 1 doesn't appear on the book # 2 tracking page). Once again this is the hard version of the tracker so it only includes an image hint.

2. Spot it! Cameo tracker (Easy Version): This is the version of the cameo tracker for book # 2 that includes the image hint + the name of the character/place.

3. Read the bonus short story: Annoyed Eminence  This bonus short story features some of the most popular Drake vampires but it also has massive spoilers for book # 2!

Book 3 Goodies:

1. Make your own book reading smoothie! The main character Jade eats a lot of smoothies so if you want to make one to enjoy while you are reading you can check out this Smoothie blog post for my personal tips, or see the recipes I list on my Magiford Recipes Pinterest board.

2. We aren't doing a Spot it! cameo tracker for book # 3 because there aren't any new cameos to watch out for, but you will continue to see characters + places from the first two books appear again!

3. There will be a new bonus short story released on this blog once The Order of Blood and Ruin reaches 100 reviews across Goodreads + Amazon. I can't wait to share this new short with you - you get to see a lot more characters other than Jade + Considine! The last thing to do to prepare for the new release? Get lots of sleep! This third book is looong, so if you're planning to read late into the night, start fortifying yourself now! And that's everything, Champions. Consider yourselves ready for The Order of Blood and Ruin!
