This book was written well. I loved reading a new take on the paranormal. The story of Dia had so much action and emotion, making it a great story. Journeying with Dia as she traveled to find answers and survive was one roller coaster of a ride.

Hassan was a really laid back kind of hero but as reading the story the reader had to root for him and cheer as he battled through all the challenges and obstacles he came up against. The story kept my attention and I especially liked the jokes that were in the book cause I am a sucker for bad jokes,as I am always telling them myself.

This book was a fun interpretation of the world of witches. I enjoyed meeting the main characters and following them as they learned about themselves and where they fit in the madcap world they are a part of. The main character, Makayla, is funny and interesting. It was a joy to travel with her on this journey to discovering her magic and how she fits into the magical world. I have read other books from this author and was not disappointed with this book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was really good. Gabriel’s journey was so intense and there was lots of drama. The family dynamic between Gabriel and his mother Juana played for me true to reality, most mothers want their sons to love them the most, even over any wife they might have, they just don’t usually turn to the dark arts to control them. I found the religious aspect or rather the distortion of religion interesting. I enjoyed this novel and would enjoy reading more from this author.
