Fresco is a sweet kid living in suburbia. His Mom bakes him cookies and he plays on the school football team. He's unaware that his absent brother's shameful secret is about to become his own. Cast out from his comfortable world, he's thrown into the life on the city streets and into temptation. But the world is a lot darker down there than he could ever imagine. Theres corporation cover ups, make-believe families and genetically modified psychic powers and its all hidden behind what those who once loved him see as just another addicted kid.My poor rose tinted romance glasses got a very big shock from the first in Patti Larsen's Diamond City Trilogy. It's a real look into a very dark world. The author hooked me with Family Magic and yet again I was compelled to continue reading, resented having to put my kindle down for even a minute and by the time I was at the end I was hanging on for dear life... WHAT THE HECK HAPPENS NEXT?I'm only giving it 4/5 because Wasteland & Diamond City (books 2 & 3) are BETTER!
