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.

What Are You Waiting For? Buy It!

Easily Ms Olson's best book yet. You get the awesome characters you've met in the series already but they become even deeper here and with a brand new setting, you get a look at the broader world around them. Lex herself just gets better and better as a lead character. I think with this book she goes from being one of my favorite urban fantasy leads to just simply one of the best protagonists of any story type. If you're on the fence about buying it, thinking no way could a series stay so good for so long, rest assured, Boundary Haunted doesn't just meet expectations, it shatters them! If you're a noob to the series, you could read this and enjoy it immensely but why do that when you can have the fun of reading the rest of the series first?

Boundary Magic Book 5 is an excellent addition to the series

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2020

Lex is still feeling the aftereffects of her previous adventure in the form of nightmares when Maven asks her to go to Atlanta to help cardinal vampire Beau Calhoun who has a ghost problem. Someone is stealing his ghosts. An incentive is the Beau comes from a boundary magic family and might be able to help Lex learn more about her own boundary magic.

Lex has to go alone because Quinn has a daughter in the area that he would be too tempted to visit if he went along. Lex decides to meet his daughter herself so that she can reassure Quinn when she returns and is pleased to meet a stable, confident young woman.

Beau's great niece is another story. Odessa has been raised by Beau since her parents died in a car accident. He has given her the best possible education and encouraged her love of horses. Unfortunately, her desire to go the Olympics with her horse would bring too much publicity to Beau and he forbids it. This leaves Odessa at sort of loose ends.

Lex investigates and finds herself in immediate danger. A sniper who just missed killing her but left her with a broken left wrist means that Maven sends in backup. Tobias who is her werewolf friend comes to help.

But the next near miss is an exploding spirit bottle that kills one of Beau's vampire colleagues, injures Beau, and ruins a mahogany obsidian crystal that was a gift from Quinn and kept ghosts from getting into Lex's head. Now, she's without protection in a city that is absolutely rife with ghosts and facing an enemy who combines human tactics and witch magic.

This was an engaging, fast-paced story with lots of action and excitement. I liked that Lex is learning more about her boundary magic.

Another action-packed adventure

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I love Melissa F Olson's Old World series and I was so delighted to have a chance to read an early copy from Net Galley and provide an honest review.

This Atlanta setting takes Lex further away from Colorado than she's ever been, and I missed her usual cast of secondary characters like Quinn, Maven, and Charlie. However, the setting imbued by literal specters of the Civil War was fascinating and it was a fair trade-off to get to experience this unique setting.

This book built on so much of the Old World lore, which makes it a rich entry in the series but also made me want to go back to re-read and immerse myself in all the complex politics and family dynamics. I'm not sure how well it would work as a standalone or entry point, though there is plenty of well woven exposition.

I really enjoyed reading this book, even if it didn't give me the same do-not-interrupt-me-I-will-snap-at-you highs of Boundary Broken. I think it was because even as the story built on everything that came before, there was also so much new that came in, and maybe I was just wanting to hang out with the prior cast of characters. So, a me problem.

This book is another great adventure in the Old World series, and I can't wait to read more of Lex's journey!

Gets Lex to a better place

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book takes Lex out of her usual surroundings and away from her friends. This is particularly tough because the previous book left her in a bad way. She starts out just as bad, not sleeping and not confronting her problems. Getting away forces her to either shape up or die. After a lot of floundering, Lex slowly gets herself back together.

This is largely a mystery novel. I confess that I failed to figure out who done it. Lex isn't really suited for the job of solving mysteries, either. She's better art kicking a** once she has a target, which she ultimately has a chance to do.

Matters are resolved satisfactorily; there is no cliffhanger. However, I hope that Lex's story is not over.

This story was a bit intricate but good.

Lex is still scarred and hurting from the last book. This picks up a little bit after. Lex isn't sleeping well and hurting a bit. She is sent to Atlanta on a mission she believes is to find missing servants. But as usual, not everything is as it seems.

Lex is pretty much on her own for most of this story but we do get some of the old cast back towards the end. I missed the interaction of our usual crew. I also realized that I wish there was a bit more interaction with Lex and Quinn. So that we can see the development of their relationship a bit more. Something happens in the story that makes me say this. I am a bit sad at the semi rift with one person but it made me think what if, and I wouldn't if their relationship was as solid as in other books. I know that doesn't make sense but you have to read to get it lol.

We do get to see a bit of Quinn's past and it was sweet. This felt like a semi filler in the storyline but it was still a great book overall.

Urban fantasy at its finest

Another Lex installment!
As always, Mellisa creates a world filled with characters you can connect too, and as this is book 5, over the years the story has built we have got to know and understand our protagonists.

If you haven't read any olde world novels before, go look for boundary born and get started!

An excellent urban fantasy novel, with a strong female lead who doesn't suddenly crumble out of character needing a man to rescue her. You still get vampires, witches and werewolves, along with a good story line, well researched settings, and as always, excellent plot twists. For long time readers, the insights in to lead characters from other story arcs is a treat, but if you haven't yet met them the references don't impact your enjowmt of the story.

As always, I'd recommend you buy it and enjoy!

Boundary Haunted (Boundary Magic Book 5)

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: Sci-fi and fantasy

I love all Melisa's stories about the Old World, and this one continues to engage my attention as much as the rest. Sometimes when a series continues a while the stories feel faded, same-ish but not with these. The Scarlett Bernard books follow the same lines as the Boundary ones, same Old World but different city, different issues. That means there's always something new to bring to the story, and I love both series. I've recently done a reread of them all, so events were fairly fresh in my mind from the last book.

This time Lex has to travel to the South, where her talents have been requested. Maven says she doesn't need to go, its outside the remit of their agreement, but she would like Lex to go, and hopefully persuade Beau, the Cardinal Vampire there, to join the parliament she is hoping to form. She needs strong allies like him, and Lex can see the value of helping him. She's struggling though after the events of last time, not sleeping well, and hiding it from everyone as best she can. She's worried about going back into a world that's stuffed to the gills with Ghosts from the wars.
The first meeting doesn't go well, dangers soon appear, and Lex has no allies except for a spy of Mavens who can't be revealed of course. Quinn wanted to come, he and Lex usually work together, but its too close to his human life, where his wife ( widow) and daughter still live. The temptation to seek them out, or the possibility of accidentally meeting them, would be too much. He hates seeing Lex in danger though and boy, does she get into some here....

The story unfolds, opinions change, and the dangers stack up. Lex doesn't really know where to look but slowly she starts to get a picture of events, although the culprit shocked her – and me. I Did Not see that coming!! I love to be caught out like that.
As usual there's a mix of info we know and new things, new spells, types of witchcraft, types of ghost, and the world Lex is in seems to be ever expanding. I enjoyed meeting new characters, wasn't sure about Beau at first, but came to really like and respect him in the end. Even though its mostly new folk we meet, we still are connected to the usual crew by way of Lex' thoughts, talks with Sam, phone calls and other little means, so it all felt very much a part of the series, not just Lex in a new tale. I like that connection, like the the world is slowly expanding, bringing in more folk – and hopefully lots more stories!
Things happen here that throw light on some past events, and push the whole group further forward. If I've a criticism its just a personal one, I adore Quinn, I missed him, although I understood exactly why he had to stay away. Without him though Lex really will struggle.
I look forward to the next from Melissa.

Stars: Five, another cracking read. Roll on the next one.

Cant be the end Melissa

I have loved this series of books. If you are unfamiliar about the series this is the 5th and final (boo) book about Alison 'Lex' Luthor, a former marine who has ptsd and is also a boundary witch, what that means is that Lex can open doors for the dead and can in some cases bring them back to life.

Lex works for Maven, head Vampire of Colorado and she is asked for favour by another Vampire. Lex is sent to Atlanta to help Beau the Vampire whose ghosts have gone missing.

Lex is tasked to find where the ghosts have gone and help Beau get them back.

I loved this story, i read it straight away, just a side note this cannot be the last book in this series, i hope that the publisher changes their mind, but if the author decides to self publish i will continue to buy them.

Another great Old World tale

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

If you have already stepped into the Old World with Me Olson's works, you will not be disappointed with this latest volume. The attention to detail is first class as always, the sensitivity with which Civil War matters are dealt is perfect, particularly dealing with the South.

If you haven't read any Old World books so far and are curious, take that leap of faith! You will be rewarded with a great story in this particular book, and it may well open a door to a cornucopia of well written, exciting and 'something a little different' books with sympathetic characters, particularly the kick-ass heroines Melissa writes so well.

Lex is haunted by her previous torture

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I received an advance copy of this book as I am one of Melissa's patron's on Patreon. From that you may infer that I adore all of Melissa's books, and this fully one met my expectations.

I particularly like the way each book builds on the previous ones, but has its own unique story line. In this case, it's that Lex is metaphorically haunted by her torture-by-ghosts in the previous book. Also, I completely failed to spot the baddie in this case, and they aren't a return visit of a previous baddie this time round - no that that is a bad thing!

As always, the characters - including the new ones - are well developed and believable in the context of the story's background.

Strongly recommended
