Boundary Haunted is the fifth book in the Boundary Magic series by Melissa F. Olson. This is a series that should definitely be read in order. This installment is scheduled for release on December 3 2019.
Months after her battles in Wyoming, Allison “Lex” Luther is still struggling with the aftereffects of the psychic attack she suffered—and with the new developments in her own magic. Then Lex’s boss, the cardinal vampire of Colorado, passes along a strange request from her counterpart in Atlanta. Hundreds of Civil War spirits have abruptly vanished in Beau Calhoun’s territory, and he wants Lex to figure out why. In exchange, Beau can help her understand boundary magic, which runs in his family line as well. Despite her trepidation, Lex journeys to the Deep South, where she discovers that ghosts are everywhere…and that her host’s intentions are more complicated than he promised. It seems his teenage descendant is being hunted, and both Beau and Lex fear the young woman’s boundary blood may have made her a target. With Atlanta’s history looming over her every move, Lex will have to face Beau’s ghosts—and her own—to prevent a boundary magic attack she never dreamed possible.
Boundary Haunted is a great continuation of Lex's story, and takes us outside her comfort zones. I admit that it took me a bit to get back into Lex's world- and remember where we left off in her story. Once I got into it I quickly found myself immersed in the story and lothe to do necessary things like sleep and go to work. The story is well constructed- new players are introduced and Lex has to come to terms with some hard things in her life that she has been trying to bury. The new characters- even the secondary ones, are multidimensional and I found the story line to be a bit like a side mission for Lex, but one that I fully enjoyed following her on. I will admit that I suspected the twist as to who the big bad was, but found the journey and reveal to be very well done. I am interested to see if some of these characters and relationships will play a role later in this series, or in the Scarlet series. I read this book way too fast and was terribly sad to see it end. I love Olson's character and world build and am eager for whatever comes next.
Boundary Haunted is another fantastic read from Olson. Fans will need to read this one. I am extremely eager for more from this series or the Scarlett Bernard series.
