Elliot grew up in the magical world without magic of her own. At 22 she is well past the age of her magic sparking, so when she accidentally gets in the way of an errant punch during a bar fight and her magic arrives in a spectacular fashion no one is more surprised than Elliot. Her powers didn’t arrive at the normal age and that is just the beginning. She has unpredictable magic and is quickly whisked away to an Academy to learn how to safely control her magic. A school full of magic users with unpredictable magic, dangers, and secrets of its own. What could possibly go wrong?
There’s no doubt, this story entertained me despite my issues with the main character. I love the academy setting. I love magic, although there’s not as much magic throughout the book as I expected there to be. I love RH. Elliot could have been an awesome character. She was a great big sister. She was smart and capable. She was physically tough but weak emotionally. I hate the female who is too afraid to feel. Sleeping with a guy then running off is a coward’s move. Refusing to talk to the guy(s) is immature. I want more from the female. I also want more of a connection between Elliot and 3 of her 4 men. You could feel the heat between her and Roman but she seemed more a roommate with her roommates than anything else. Don’t misunderstand, I really like the guys; I just didn’t feel any sexual tension. I’m hoping for more in the future.
The story itself didn’t contain any major surprises but held my interest until the end. The concept was solid and there were enough surprises along the way to leave me looking forward to more. I listened to this on audio and honestly believe that it made it more entertaining than if I had read the book. Sarah Puckett did a fabulous job bringing Eliott to life. She captured her sass and strength, as well as her weaknesses. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer
