The Magical Summer of Miranda Stone (The Emergence Duology Book 1) by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Santana Hicks

The Magical Summer of Miranda Stone by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Miranda Stone is a typical sixteen year old girl from a conservative family. When she all of a sudden developed magical powers, she knew her parents would not take it well so she decided to flee. Miranda took what little money she had and went to New Orleans to become a singer. She finds a cheap motel and starts her new life. Instantly she becomes friends with her neighbours Billie and Neeta. She finds a job being an opener for a drag club and thinks that she can find a new life here.

Unfortunately this isn’t the case. Women from all over the world are developing the same powers as Miranda and then have gone missing after being found out. Miranda starts to fear for her life along with the others while trying to maintain a somewhat normal life. Miranda even meets the girl of her dreams. She knows love is a bad idea with everything going on but she can’t help the instant intense connection she has with this girl.

This book was exciting and reminded me of a more modern day of the Salem witch trials. Men all around the world are turning in these women to never be seen again. I did find the book was slower paced than I would have liked but still kept my full attention. I will be looking forward to the next installment!
