About this deal
Additionally, we occasionally include insights into the writing process, thematic elements, or how each book fits into the larger tapestry of the series. I’ll get to the actual review part shortly, but this bothered me so much that I just have to get it out of my system. So I can see why it’s been likened to the adult Harry Potter, but honestly until reviews were read, I didn’t even think about HP.
As she begins to learn who she is, she uncovers a terrible hidden past about herself and her family. The book reads much more like a young adult novel aimed at teenage girls (lots of good looking muscular young men falling in love with the heroine and she can't understand why yadda-yadda). With the help of Wade and her new friends, she must figure out who the traitor is and why they're targeting her.This book is incredible in its own right, and once you get past the slight similaries at the start, and they are only slight similarities; you get to the thumping heart of the book and when you reach that point, you will be totally hooked on it and won't want to stop reading for anything. After she witnesses a monster attack and aids another Magical in stopping said attack and capturing the monster, she learns that there’s a whole secret magical community out there, and she is not alone. So yes HP has definitely "inspired" the story, but when you put those elements aside there really is no comparison.
But she has no clue where she got these freakish powers because she spent her childhood jumping from home to home in the foster system, and her father left her with nothing more than a cryptic note.
It kept my attention to the end, I didn't realise who the culprit was for all the mischief going on in both worlds right up until they were revealed, which was great! Remember, the journey through a book series is not just about reaching the end but also about the memories created along the way. Audible wants to give you the most complete selection we can and we'll keep adding series and filling in gaps as quickly as possible.
Wade is a brilliant warlock with no social skills who is drawn to Harley from the beginning but equally repelled by her empath abilities. Which is when a mysterious and annoyingly arrogant young warlock named Wade Crowley steps in, introducing her to a hidden world of beasts, magicals, and covens riddled with secrets - as well as clues about her murky past.This all was a perfect introduction to this world, teaching Harley and us at the same time everything we need to know.
