Ms. Lyon, has with BLOOD MAGIC written the stunning start of a new series. The story idea of the conflict with the witches and witch hunters is something new and that sets this series apart from the usual paranormal romances. Ms. Lyon gifts her readers with an interesting and intriguing set of characters. Axel is torn between is attraction to Darcy and his loyalty to his family and friends. He is tortured by the death curse that threatens his little sister and the taunting of his father, who plays an important role among the rogue witch hunters, who gave into the bloodlust and lost their souls.
Darcy’s life changes within a blink of an eye. She has to deal with the fact she is a witch and that suddenly the life of a small child lies in her hands, as well as the endangerment of her own life from the rogue witch hunters, especially the leader, who is her real father.
I really got caught up in the story as soon as I started reading. I could hardly put the book down and I am so curious about the upcoming sequel Soul Magic, which will be released in December 2009.
Ms. Lyon is definitely an author that you want to keep an eye on. Her book is definitely a keeper and I bet the whole series will find their way to your keeper shelf.
