HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW
At three weeks shy of being 18, Herman Anderson knows that there has to be a better life than the one she has. Yes I did say she. Herman is a young lady that was handed down the unfortunate fate of being called a male name because of some sort of tradition on her father’s side. A bit of a bummer really. Then throw in a mum that has never coped very well due to some sort of illness and a father that works away, with a can’t see what’s happening so everything is alright, sort of mentality and you have one hell of a dysfunctional family.
The only thing keeping Herman sane was her 11-year-old brother. In order to make a better life for them both she has to leave him behind at home while she can get somewhere just for them both to live. On her way to take up the role of working on a horse farm she meets a young magician on the train. An instant attraction sparks between them and he offers her a job as assistant in his act. An offer she finds impossible to say no to.
These little pockets of magic were the highlights for me especially when Stephen was beginning to include Herman in his act, well practising. Oh wow, I wanted to clap and cheer when the magic happened, but I could imagine a theatre full of people silently watching the act where if would be quieter than a library. I would have loved to hear about so much more, but a good act always leaves the audience wanting that little extra and as this is going to be a series I am giddy about what will come next.
Romance is in the air between the pair but Stephen’s family have a curse that could end their romance before it has even really begun. I think there is some real heavy trouble brewing for the future. I haven’t really connected with the characters fully yet but the strong pull of further magic will have me coming back for more of this series.
