From national bestselling author Lisa Shearin comes a new chapter in "one of the best fantasy series currently on the market." (Night Owl Reviews)
My name is Raine Benares—and it sucks to be me right now.
I’m a seeker who found the Saghred, a soul-stealing stone that gave me unlimited powers I never wanted. Now I’ve lost the rock—and the magic it gave me—to a goblin dark mage whose main goals are my death and world domination. This is more than incentive enough for a little trip to the goblin capital of Regor with a small band of good friends, not-so-good friends, and one outright enemy. Don’t ask. All we need to do is destroy the Saghred, kill the mage, and put a renegade goblin prince on the throne. Did I mention I’ll be doing that with no magic?

Funny, sexy, and exciting could not put them down. My husband would look at me funny as I would burst out laughing at parts in the books. Even got him to read them, and his take on the series was that who ever wrote them must have been around me for some of the creative one liners and sarcastic comments.

Brilliant. Unique combination of action and wit. Readers can jump into the ongoing story with this book and not be confused. Read this one and then go back to read the whole series.

One of my all time favorite fantasy series.
All Spell Breaks Loose is the final installment of Lisa Shearin's very entertaining Raine Benares series. For those of you who have read the previous books, rest assured that the ending will leave you both satisfied and wanting more. And if you haven't met Raine and her friends, get yourself a copy of Magic Lost, Trouble Found, the first book in the series, and be prepared for 6 books of rollicking good fun!
Ms. Shearin has created an engaging world of magic which takes some of the standard denizens of fantasy and gives them a new twist. Elves who are pirates, goblins who are sexy and demons who are, OK, the demons are pretty much ugly bad-asses who you can't trust, but even fantasy needs a bit of stability!
The main character, Raine Benares, is a Seeker (the piratical elves are her family) whose fairly minor magical talent for finding things lets her make a decent living and provides enough excitement to keep her from getting bored. Then she finds a magical rock called the Saghred and discovers the full meaning of the old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times." Everybody wants the rock, the rock wants Raine (not for anything good or healthy) and she finds herself propelled on the quest which finally ends in All Spell Breaks Loose. The supporting cast is a lot of fun, even the minor characters have a spark that makes you want to spend more time with them (the goblin mother who enjoys watching her bad boy offspring deal with his own bad boy offspring is wonderful) and the dialog reminds me of the fast paced back and forth on The West Wing.
I highly recommend All Spell Breaks Loose and all of the other books in the series. I can't wait to see what Lisa Shearin writes next!

As some of you may know Lisa is one of my favorite authors. I love her Raine Benares series and I have been patiently waiting for the final installment of the Saghred story line. Lisa wrapped the story line up perfectly. It left me feeling extremely happy and left it open for the series to continue or have a spinoff but didn’t end in a way that there has to be another novel. All Spell Breaks Loose is full of action and kept me on the seat of my chair. Lisa’s humor is at its best in this installment. The last few chapters had me in tears laughing so hard. There is a scene near the end of the book where Raine and Tam’s old teacher Kesyn have a moment where they are in quite the predicament and Kesyn humor just adds so much to the scene I loved it! Kesyn was one of my favorite new characters in the story he had so many one liners that crack me up. There wasn’t a lot of Talon in the story but when he did show up he made sure it counted. Mychael and Tam were full of sexiness during the story, this one had a bit less of a romancing it in but that was okay the action scenes made up for the lack of Raine and Mychael hook-ups. Overall, the story is just PERFECT! If you’re a fan of the series you’re going to love All Spell Breaks Loose I am sure of it. I’m sad that the characters are taking a break for the time being so Lisa can work on her new super secret project which I can’t wait for. It will be torture until I find out more about the her new projects.

Love the whole series! While I'm sad to see it end, it was a great ride! Sad lack of Phaelan, tho! :D

I loved this book. It was a great ending to the series. I loved the new characters and their sense of humor. Once again I think Lisa Shearin did a great job writing the book and making it fun to read. I definitely recommend reading the whole series if you haven't.
