Blood and Magic by Ann Gimpel was quite a compelling story that brings mage and witch togther in a very interesting adventure. I must admit the story did start off kind of slow. At first I did not appreciate the slowness, but after reading the entire novel it makes sense. The plot needed to develop and a foundation for the the main characters, Luke and Abigail, needed to be in place so that it fully makes sense. Gimpel writing picks up in my opinion around chapter 2, the meeting of Luke and Abigail. From there Gimpels gifts the reading audience with many adventures that deal with possessions, fighting evil (of course) and a mixture of romance. The story flows well and I was really caught up more on what the Enforcers would be forced to do and if love would conquer it all. Blood and Magic is a pretty decent read at about 195 pages, if you love folklore and paranormal, this book is for you.The cover of this book displays what is to be Luke and Abigail in a small embrace, clearly in love and want of each other. It does have an old world feel to it with the amber colors. It quite suits the time period of this novel.
