The Borderkind

Golden brings back Oliver, Frost, Kitsune and a whole host of legendary and mythical beings in the Borderkind. Oliver must still reach both kings for his pardons before the hunters reach and kill him. He has since learned that his sister is missing, his father has been murdered, and that the police are looking to question him in a line of murders that are similar to his fathers. Meanwhile, Detective Haliwell and Oliver’s fiancé Julianna, have stumbled into the veil, through a cabin, were they were tracking Oliver on an island in Scotland. They are trying to figure out where they are and what is going on. Oliver figures out with help from his new friends that Collette has been kidnapped by the Sandman. So now, he must not only get his pardons he must rescue his sister. Along the way he comes by a sword that was given to the first lost one that was given a pardon. The sword belonged to King Hunyadi which gave Professor Koenig the pardon. The sword proves to serve Oliver well and helps to get him his first pardon. Oliver and his friends must figure out who ordered the Hunters to hunt and kill the Borderkind. Only after that answer is found and the person or persons responsible have been dealt with can Oliver go on with his life, and possibly return to Julianna and their life together. Oliver find out he is somewhat of a “chosen one” and must help to save the Borderkind.

Golden continues to build a wonderful world with the Borderkind with his exemplary writing. He delves into the psyche of Oliver, Frost and Kitsune thereby helping you to understand them better. The Borderkind is a wonderful story and another for the keeper shelf. I will be picking up any books that he writes. He is a wonderful and very refreshing author that brings life to his work.

Love and tragedy: those were things she appreciated most in the movies. Some of them had monsters, but all of the monsters were human. She’d never had an interest in the other sort… could not invest any real fear in them, because she did not believe.

But Collette believed in monsters now.

Myth Hunters

Imagine all your favorite legends coming to life right before your eyes: Jack Frost, The Sandman, etc. What if one night you met one of these legendary beings and he asked you for help? What would you do? That is what happened to Oliver one winters night and, here is where our story begins. Oliver Bascombe is a lawyer with the family law firm and is set to get married in the next few days. When a very bad snow storm blows in, bringing a hurt legend with it, who turns out to be Frost. Oliver can’t believe what he sees and it takes him even longer to understand what is going on. Frost must take Oliver across the Border between both our world and theirs which is called the Veil and, by doing so saves both their lives. Once Oliver crossed into the veil he became a lost one and was no longer able to go home to his world. Frost explains that all of the Borderkind are now being hunted and now that Oliver has helped Frost he will be hunted too. He also explains that the Borderkind are the Legendaries that can cross through the veil between both worlds at will. Oliver meets a host of legendaries and Borderkind some that he remembers the legends of and some he does not. They learn very quickly who they can and cannot trust. Oliver vows to help Frost find out who is hunting the Borderkind so that he may someday be able to stay or go home to his fiancé, Julianna. But first he must get a pardon from both Kings of the veil before the hunters reach and kill him. While the detective that has been assigned to solve the case, Ted Haliwell, and Julianna, Oliver’s fiancé search for him they stumble onto the veil and become two of the lost as well. They must now find a way to follow Oliver and his new friends and find out what is going on.

Christopher Golden does and excellent job of weaving this legendary tale of myth, magic, wonder and excitement. Golden did a wonderful job of describing each char, down to every last detail, including what Frost looks like. You will be able to picture him in your mind completely right down to the last icicle and its tinkle. Golden helps to create a wonderful mythological world in your mind that you will want to daydream in. Myth Hunters was a real page turner and is definite keeper.

As he ran for the door a rush of wind rushed past him, nearly knocking him over again, and blew it shut.

Oliver stood unmoving in the middle of the parlor, staring at the door. There had been a purpose behind the wind. He was not alone. The storm was here, but it was more than just a storm.

He turned slowly. The vortex in front of the dark fireplace was changing, taking shape. Through the snow churning within that whirlwind, Oliver could see a figure, the same as he had seen outside moments ago. A man or so it seemed, made from ice, his body all perilously sharp edges, dagger fingers, and hair that swung and tinkled musically like crystal chandelier.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there and to all the ones that pose as our mothers too!
