This paranormal urban fantasy mixes magic with technology for a riveting futuristic read.  A powerful player in New Cornith politics, Councilwoman Elizabeth Marsden is a magic born witch a secret that could destroy her.  Vadim Bazarov smuggles Magic Borns through the Underground Railroad and threatens to reveal the political ice queens secret unless she helps him. An anti-magic ordinance forces one of them to make a choice that will change both of their lives.This steady to fast paced plot keeps readers intrigued with suspense, drama, magic, and romance.  The author uses well written scenes and details to capture the imagination and draw the reader deeper into the story.Tension builds throughout the story as distrust and fear rise up to suppress the Magic Borns even further.  The characters are strong, compelling, easily related to and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning.The attraction between Lizzie and Vadim radiates from every page and the sex scenes are hot and steamy and include some light bondage and spanking scenes.  The relationship builds slowly as the couple work through several major obstacles and personal issues that steam from the very different sides of the track that they live on.  The reader can’t help but get caught up in the story as all the drama, secrets and hidden agendas inspires lots of curiosity and the reader can empathize with Vadim and Lizzie both.First let me say that you don’t have to read the first one to enjoy this one although I do wish that I had so I would know what events lead to the currents events. At first I was not sure that I was going to like this story at all and not sure why, but I am really glad that I continued because I quickly changed my mind as I got completely caught up in all the intrigue and complexities of this fascinating world and captivating characters, so I will definitely be reading Trancehack soon and I am looking forward to reading the third one as well.
