Imagine the biggest CEOs you can think being a wizard in their private lives, while keeping their magical communities secret with their women falling under a strict hand and you've got Desecration wrapped in a tight little bundle. However, there are so many things that are changing when Adriana turns sixteen and her life changes forever. This story of magic and love really gives you a coming of age tail that is anything but ordinary. From magic powers to prophecies to animal followers, there is so much packed into one story it will leave your head spinning from everything that unfolds.Addie and her cast of characters were really a cohesive bunch. You have her family that really sets up a great set of friction to deal with, her friends that leave with a fascinating look into a younger generations way of dealing with old school rules and then her love interest which defies all the race barriers that are in her world. That romance was really something beautiful. It was innocent teenage attraction and I loved that! It was refreshing to read a book about a girl that made mistakes because she acted first before thinking and who can have a crush on a boy escalate into love and not have to worry about other sexual things getting in the way of the story.I would have loved to hear more about the background to the magic world. I felt like I got hints of it by introducing other types of magic like mages etc. but never really got a full blown history, which would have been nice. The other issues I had was this isn't a story that was unique. It was an awesome story, but one I have read before. It had some great action and a convincing love story which was great. I loved the characters and how they were developed, I was just looking for a little more. If you are looking for a modern take on a magic element, I think you will really enjoy this book!
