Years ago, boundary witch Allison “Lex” Luther made a promise to an alpha werewolf. Now, just when the supernatural community in Colorado is enjoying a period of hard-won peace, the alpha turns up at Lex’s door to call in his marker. Two of his pack members have disappeared in the Colorado sand dunes, and he needs safe passage to hunt for them.
With her friend Simon Pellar along for backup, Lex ventures into the dunes to search for the missing couple…but what they find is only the opening move in an ambitious assault against those who hold power in the Colorado Old World. An old enemy has returned to tear their peace apart, and Lex is soon embroiled in politics she doesn’t understand, from a time before she had magic.
To save her friends and her way of life, Lex will have to cross every line she’s drawn since learning what she is—and it may still be too late.

"Lex the boundary witch is one of my favorite characters but here she was a disappointment. I liked her strength, her self reliance and her chutspah. In this latest book, however, she was weak, defensive and kind of whiny, to be frank--not the Lex I thought I knew from the three previous books. Lot of filler in this book, stuff that inched the story along, but wasn't all that compelling. Author Melissa seems to love her Scarlet character but give short shrift to witch Lex. If there are further adventures of Lex and her buds, I hope they'll be more bold and daring."

Boundary Broken Boundary Magic Book 4 edition by Melissa F Olson Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
- I re-read books 1 through 3 immediately prior to this book being released, and it was like I was missing an entire book between #3 and #4. It was really irritating to see events referenced, and whole new (major) characters involved without the proper backstory that you'd have if they were introduced within this series. There's a missing piece here, possibly hidden in short stories or in the parallel series with Scarlett but I cannot make sense of the timeline reading these as a separate series, and that's really irritating as a reader. I can't even figure out what story is the missing piece based on reading order published on or goodreads, and I shouldn't have to work this hard to figure that stuff out.
Past that disappointing gaping hole in the story line, it is of course well written and enjoyable and worth the read. Melissa Olson remains one of my favorite independent authors that you should support any way you can. I just wish the series timeline had been handled differently. - Such a treat to have a new Boundary book from Melissa F Olson!
I re-read the entire series before reading this, and loved how they all flowed together. I find her characters interesting and quirky, and her version of the paranormal world is one of my favorite interpretations.
Alison 'Lex' Luther is a boundary witch -- one who straddles the line between life and death. Olson has created a life for her that's multi-layered and fascinating. I adore the secondary characters, especially Simon & Lily Pellar, Maven, an extremely old vampire who looks like an artsy college student, and one of my favorite characters, Sashi, a thaumaturgic witch.
I wasn't terribly engaged at the beginning, but the story gained momentum and the last 2/3 or so were up to Olson's standards. As always, Kate Rudd did an amazing job with the narration (I listened to the Audible version), but I'd like her to listen to the Scarlet series so she knows how to pronounce 'Dashiel.' - Lex the boundary witch is one of my favorite characters but here she was a disappointment. I liked her strength, her self reliance and her chutspah. In this latest book, however, she was weak, defensive and kind of whiny, to be frank--not the Lex I thought I knew from the three previous books. Lot of filler in this book, stuff that inched the story along, but wasn't all that compelling. Author Melissa seems to love her Scarlet character but give short shrift to witch Lex. If there are further adventures of Lex and her buds, I hope they'll be more bold and daring.
- I thought this would be an easy task receive an advance copy from the publisher, read it, and post my honest opinion. Nothing hard there, right?
Wrong.
Because what I want to do is write ABOUT the novel itself.
About the echoes of the past, the excitement of the present, and the glimpses of where Lex's and the others' stories may go.
About the MANY possible meanings of the title, the things that seemed solid that are either broken or could break.
But all I can do is offer it to you as a tremendous novel with rich characters and situations in a world that keeps growing and challenging instead of merely getting comfortable.
Melissa F. Olson writes carefully. I commend it to you as something to be read carefully. And with a look to the many possible applications of the title.
[For the record, even though I read the advance copy, I've had the book preordered for months and I'm excited to have it magically show up on my .]
Edit I have to agree with another reviewer that I'm not delighted with the cover -- the others were just more enigmatic and mysterious. So this is a case where I *definitely* ask you to judge the book by its fantastic prose instead of by its packaging. - This book completely sucked me in and it enthralled me so much that I had to finish the last 15% in the car despite issues with carsickness because a little nausea was worth finding out what happened next!
This book builds heavily on previous events in the series and makes reference to other Old World books as well (Sashi!!); it's been a while so I appreciated all the exposition woven in, which was sufficient to spark my memory but simultaneously made me excited to go back and re-read Lex's other books.
Melissa F. Olson's Old World series is my favorite thing in urban fantasy. I love the world of witches, vampires, werewolves, and the occasional nullifying force, with all factions having their own internal politics as well as politics between species. She has heroines who kick butt, unforgettable supporting characters, and a strong sense of place. Highly recommended! Now the hard part waiting for the next one. - If you enjoyed the first 3 Lex novels you will enjoy this addition. I liked the appearance of some characters from other old world books. It will be interesting to see where the books lead with the changes made. My only reason for giving this book a 4 instead of a 5 is because Lex isn’t my favorite character to follow along with (I â¤ï¸ Scarlett) and I wasn’t a fan of the romance issues. I felt like the romantic tension between Lex and Simon was awkward and just didn’t work. Otherwise the story was great.
- Yay for more Lex!
This was a fantastic addition to the series, I just loved it.
I loved the way she (Melissa Olson) was able to wrap up this book, and still leave me dying for the next one, WITHOUT a huge cliffhanger. Huge cliffhangers always seem like a cheap shot to me, it's like I was going to get the next book, anyways, so there's no reason for that nonsense. And I'm rambling, lol.
Anyways, this is an awesome book, in a great series. Make sure you've read the other books in the series to get the most out of it )
