Synopsis
My name is Raine Benares. I'm a seeker. The people who hire me are usually happy when I find things. But some things are better left unfound. I'm a sorceress of moderate powers, from an extended family of smugglers and thieves. With a mix of street smarts and magic spells, I can usually take care of myself. But when my friend Quentin, a not-quite-reformed thief, steals an amulet from the home of a powerful necromancer, I find myself wrapped up in more trouble than I care for. I like attention as much as the next girl, but having an army of militant goblins hunting me down is not my idea of a good time. The amulet they're after holds limitless power, derived from an ancient, soul-stealing stone. And when I take possession of the item, it takes possession of me. Now my moderate powers are increasing beyond anything I can imagine-but is the résumé enhancement worth my soul?

November 22, 2009: Magic lost, trouble found is one of those books you could read a thousnd times( and i have) and still laugh( which i do)at how sarcastic and wry Rain is. she is in trouble up to her pointed ears but still retains her scence of irony and sarcasm. i love her scence of humer. this book is beutifully writen and is an amazing read all the way trough. this is one of my favorite books and love reading it over and over.
this book is about Rain, a fiesty elf who finds things for a living. she is good with a blade and has a few magical tricks up her sleave thats kept her alive time and time again( singed around the edges dousnt count). however when she finds an amulet that is oviously magical and powerfull, she finds herself in more trouble than ever. she is being hunted by an army of goblins. she likes attention as much as the next girl but this is a little much. and to make matters worse she cant even get ride of the necklace becouse it has magicaly attched itself to her. read this book and find out if she is able to get ride of all the extra trouble she has procured. then read the rest of Rains adventures in Armed and magical, and the trouble with demons.Fun fantasyby IYamVixen

August 23, 2009: It apparently has been a little while since I've read fantasy of such intricate world-building. It took me a little while to get into the story as I first had to get used to the world of Mermeia where Raine and her cohorts and family live. The names of the characters gave me the most difficulty...once I got used to how they sounded out in my cranium, I was fine and the story moved along like gang-busters.
Raine is my type of lead character. She has some flaws, but ultimately she has common sense, street smarts and cares deeply for her family and friends and woe be unto whoever tries to harm them. There's a new goblin king in town and he has as his evil advisor, Sarad Nukpana, a goblin grand shaman of immense power. These goblins want the Saghred, an ancient stone of unfathomable power. Now Raine has become the inadvertant contact for the stone and many will do whatever necessary to get her, thereby the power. Raine has help and the good street smarts and magic she maintains keeps her in good stead. This is a good set up for the next in the series, ARMED AND MAGICAL . I have the third in the series, THE TROUBLE WITH DEMONS, thanks to Lisa Shearin and BittenByBooks. Four not all goblins are mean & ugly beans.....
