This was a very fast read one leaving me wanting more which I have to say is the perfect way to run a series like this. Shawn C. Sproatt has captivated me and definitely gotten me intrigued into where and how this story will progress. The title actually had me thrown off when I first saw and picked to read this. I was expecting a little something different and a little held at bay it’s taken me a while to work up the nerve to read this thinking that it was going to be what I thought it was and then wham she definitely made sure to surprise me.
The 18 year old Lorelei Moskowitz doesn’t ask for much just a normal college experience. However even that seems to be the one thing she knows isn’t going to happen. Just a few problems seem to arise to help keep this from being the one and only thing that happens while she’s at college after all it seems her cousin has seen to it to already start the year off on a crazy note. Julie is Lorelei’s cousin and dating a warlock that is pretty much on a hidden agenda maybe? Probably? The only chance she has of finding out is asking the help of Ethan another warlock that is over 150 years old and stuck in a 25 year olds body.
The concept of the characters was very interesting. I loved how there were non-magical and magical beings interspersed throughout the story with the seeming throw of normalcy it helped add to some of the parts in the story that held the magical content. I believe this to be a very good series to pick up and being while it’s on it’s starting climb and look forward to more work from this author .
