Of Mobsters and Magic
When Jason Fentris, Kyne Goodrum's double, finds out his dad is still alive, he and his friends head out to rescue him from the Mob, confident in their newfound superpowers.
But the Mob isn't going to let Jason's dad go quite so easily. After all, there's a contract out on him - and they have a rep to protect.
In Lynvia, angry dragons are demanding assistance in hunting down a band of thieves - thieves dressed in the green uniforms of the royal Lynvian guard!
These imposters have entered the forbidden dragon graveyard and made off with various
dragon body parts...
But what could anyone want with old dragon bones?

Book two of the series sees the characters evolve. Together Jason lives in modern day Tennessee while communicating with his fantasy cohort (Kyne) through Gameboy with the common goal of survival and reclaiming their duel Lynvia royal heritage. While Jason avoids the mob in America through friends with psychic tendencies, Kyne is fighting off goblins amidst dragons in Lynvia. Both have the mission of saving the lives of their father and a friend's father in both realms. Perfect for the YA reader in that it maintains their attention through one adventure after another, switching between realms. Included is some correlation with scripture and the Bible that offers a moral compass to the theme. An excellent gift for a YA reader who enjoys a combination of a fantasy theme interwoven with a bit of reality.

The second book in this series is just as good as the first. Magic, adventures, mobsters and drama make for the perfect mix to continue the story of Kyne and his friends. Add in some dragons and goblins and this is a book that is going to keep you going from one adventure to the next. Well written with a well developed plot. I was given a copy of this book for my honest opinion.
