The Veil of Corruption by C.B. Lyall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wilf Gilvary is back and still trying to figure out how to control his magic, but he is still reluctant to accept his life as a wizard, he would much rather be playing football with his friends, or spending time with Katryna. Things don’t go to plan however, when the Veil he helped to strengthen starts to go rogue and the witches and wizards around him believe that he is the problem, they think that when he used his wizard magic to strengthen the witches spell, that he corrupted it and now it is out of control.

This isn’t Wilf’s only worry, his stepsister Myra is also on the loose, three days ago, she ran away from her crimes and Wilf is determined to find her, but the witches have other ideas and they are keeping him busy working on the antidote for the Virus of Beauty and studying magic, however, Wilf is getting more frustrated by the day and this isn’t helping anyone, least of all him, but he is struggling to control his emotions, as usual.

Meanwhile, in the magical realm, the Veil is expanding and it has taken on a life of its own, it is attacking witches and wizards alike and wreaking havoc wherever it touches and Wilf is expected to fix it, but when Katryna is kidnapped, he realises that he will do anything to get her back and save the magical realm, even if he doesn’t want magic himself. With tensions rising between the witches and wizards, can he keep everything in check while they fight over him, Katryna and the magical realm, or will it all end in disaster? This is another fantasy adventure with secrets, lies, mistrust and of course, magic throughout as you try to untangle the webs surrounding Wilf, Katryna and the others around them to work out who wants what and why, it is a story which will hook you in and keep you invested throughout.
