If you take a littly Harry Dresden, add a little Ivy from the Hollows and mix it with a dash of Harry Potter and Highlander with some dystopian Blade Runner future you have an idea of what this book is about. Maybe add a little bit of Vampire Academy too. Then bam! You get this. It manages to be original mostly while having elements most people in the urban fantasy genre should be familiar with.The writing is a little clunky in some places, but overall very readable. Its a great amateur effort.The author does give a thanks for the cover art... Which is a little funny. I think with a better these books would have much better sales. So hoaky looking.The book follows the adventures of a newly minted magus ie mage who just got introduced to the world of magic and vampires and must figure it out. First in a school magi and then in a real battle that is going on around them. Its a little played out at this point. And its very hard to believe a character that was as nerdy as this one would not quickly catch up with something like a history of magic...All that being said, I really enjoyed it. And at this price you will too. Especially if you liked any of the characters I mentioned above.
