About the author
Jim Melvin
21 books51 followersJim grew up on the shores of western Florida, and he spent much of his childhood swimming in shark-infested waters long before the movie "Jaws" put a scare into everyone. At the time, he probably was too skinny to attract a bull shark's attention. About ten other boys Jim's age lived on his same street, and they hung out morning, noon and night playing the usual sports that young boys love — football, baseball, "kill the carrier," etc. — but as a group they also played fantastical games that contained magic, monsters and superheroes. It was in this setting that Jim's imagination was born and nurtured.
Jim's latest work is an updated edition of "The Death Wizard Chronicles," an action-packed dark fantasy for mature audiences. Volume 1 debuted April 2025. Volume 2 is set for July 2025 and Volume 3 in October 2025.
Literary Titan's 5-star review of Volume 1 included the following: "For the seasoned fantasy fan craving something fierce and different, this hits like thunder."
Jim also recently published a teen fantasy adventure trilogy titled "Dark Circles," which is about a group of kids who are transported to a magical land where it can be deadly to sleep. This is a great coming-of-age series for fans of J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, and Brandon Sanderson.
Kirkus Reviews described book 1 as "a delightful beginning to a promising series that’s sure to appeal to teen readers who feel like outsiders."
"Dark Circles" is the winner of fourteen awards, including double finalist in the 21st annual Best Book Awards.
Jim is also the author of two books of nonfiction.
"The Adventures of a Florida Boy" chronicles
Jim's boyhood spent in Florida in the 1960s on an island called Coquina Key. His parents’ waterfront home overlooked a large expanse of Tampa Bay. Back then, parts of the island were undeveloped, which left plenty of room for outdoor adventures.
One reviewer said this: “A joyous glimpse into a childhood we all wish we’d had: fun, carefree, and near the sea.”
Jim was also the lead writer and editor for the nonfiction book "Eclipse Over Clemson: The day Tigertown will never forget," which chronicled the Aug. 21, 2017, total solar eclipse that passed over Clemson University. The on-campus event which Jim coordinated was a once-in-a-lifetime experience attended by more than 50,000 people.
Jim lives in a valley surrounded by mountains in the Southern Appalachians. He was previously an award-winning journalist at several national newspapers and a communications director at a major university.

Awesome read!
Love this story! The characters are well developed and the setting is very believable! Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Propulsive, shivery and fun. Great teen read (and pretty cool for the rest of us, too).

Upstate South Carolina novelist Jim Melvin is no stranger to readers of fantasy books. "The Death Wizard Chronicles," his six-book epic fantasy series for adult audiences, engaged readers who can now introduce their teens to a new world. “Dark Circles,” Melvin’s new series for middle grade readers ages 13 and older, plants its feet firmly in South Carolina and the struggles faced by so many who are coming of age. (If you’re reading together, I think this one can skew younger.) But that’s just the start – “Do You Believe in Magic?” opens the new series and the new world created by Melvin that transcends fiction and fantasy. Reading this along with tweens can open the door to important conversations, though the awkwardness warning applies for (clean) first love. This first book in the series is available in a Kindle edition and paperback from Amazon. The series continues this fall!
Bonus for parents and kiddos: there are wonderful mentions of the power of meditation and mindfulness!

I've had the happy opportunity to read this opening novel in Jim Melvin's imaginative, fast-paced Southern fantasy series for young adults. I'd describe the maturity of the content as mostly PG. (If it were a movie—and I think it would adapt well to the screen—it would be PG-13 for "frightening images" and moderate YA-appropriate violence, but there's not strong language. Mild sexual themes, yes, but suitably awkward rather than explicit.
I'll submit that if I were back in my tween boy days, it's entirely possible I'd rate this book 5 stars. Since those days are thankfully long past, I'm rating it 4 stars (worthwhile and enjoyable, and I'd keep reading the series, but not in a "my life would be somehow diminished if I'd never read it, and I can't wait to reread it" way).
My reasoning for this is that, although there are surely older readers who will adore the book, I feel the author's distinctive achievement here is to write a truly, authentically YA novel. It's written in ways calculated to connect with actual tween (give or take a couple years) readers, especially boys, rather than writing a clean adult story featuring young people and slapping "YA" on it.
Case in point: scattered through the book are references to books, movies, and even current events. This will not help the book age well, and it lessens the timeless quality that much fantasy aspires to. However, those pop culture tidbits, while maybe seeming a bit clunky or unbecoming to an adult reader, could plausibly help establish connections with many of today's actual teenagers.
The very-young-adult POV is convincing, in all its self-consciousness, embarrassment, and preoccupation with material realities like meals, using the restroom, and brushing one's teeth. (Not that we outgrow these concerns, of course.) Yes, there's even an occasional dose of bodily-function-related humor. Moreover, the infamous, cringy awfulness of middle school social dynamics is depicted convincingly. Much of the writing, especially dialogue, tends toward the blunt and on-the-nose. Like with actual tweens, the characters vary in their maturity and social sophistication (and vocabulary), but none is unintelligent. They're just a realistic mishmash of child and adult.
There are a few minor things I'd have pushed back on, if I were the editor: unnecessary double quotes around common idioms early in the book; occasional odd paragraph breaks; a typo or two; a couple of author intrusions later in the book; moments where there's a lot of "telling" of background info that could probably have been integrated more subtly; and the rare odd thing that just didn't seem to flow ("Fun times!").
But overall, this is an entertaining diversion set in a strange, dream-like, cinematic, complex-but-not-too-complex, unpredictable, and unexpectedly humorous world. The simple awkwardness of the protagonists and their experiences isn't quite innocent, but it's wholesome. I'd recommend it to most young readers without hesitation!

An amazing and dangerous world awaits anyone brave enough to enter the portal.
Four high school student go through the portal that was behind a waterfall, next to the creek on the family farm. It seems the adults don’t know of this portal but Blue, the large blue eyed Labrador retriever is a frequent visitor.
Charlie and his mom just moved back home from Florida after Charlie’s father walked away from his little family. Now they are living on a small farm with Charlie‘s grandmother and grandfather’s farm.
Charlie was just introduced to his new best friend and guard dog, Blue. Pawpaw told the eighth grader this dog will protect you with his life. Charlie and Blue went exploring on the farm land and Blue disappeared behind a waterfall so Charlie went under the waterfall to find his dog and ended up in a new and scary world. This book has set the stage for all the adventures to come. Not being a young teen, I still enjoyed this fantasy land that was unfolding for Charlie. A good story and I do recommend this book to fantasy loving readers.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
This book is a darker Harry Potter. This is the kind of book I have been searching for awhile now. The powers that the kids get when they go to the other world are unique, how they use them is interesting. The world they find themselves in is intriguing and I hope it gets explored and fleshed out more in future stories. That is one thing worth noting is like Harry Potter and a lot of other YA stories this book is the first in a part of a series. With this in mind I am giving a pass to plot points that have not been wrapped up and other things that have been left open with the belief they will be addressed in the other two books in this series. Sometimes the dialogue can be a little annoying filled with "uhs" and "ums" I think in an attempt to make it sound modern. If that is the case I don't think it succeeded. The book has me interested enough to give the next book in the series a look once it comes out.

will you be ready?
this book did something that a book hasn’t done to me in a long time: it surprised me! I knew that Lord Gar and other worldly Pacchann would have to eventually reconcile Charlie, Zola and the Sancho Panza-like Virgil in South Carolina, but when and how caught me COMPLETELY off guard! To me, the most well-done fantasy stories hold elements that keep them so near the borderline of plausibility that at a certain point, you actually forget that what you’re reading is supposed to be fantasy and get caught up in the characters, the action and the story. Well, after the link here is established, it becomes difficult to remember which of the worlds is supposed to be the real one: the one where the three earthlings are greeted and treated like lords, or the one where they’re bullied as nerds.

The Dark Circles Trilogy starts strong!
Upon his arrival in South Carolina, 13-year-old Charlie discovers a portal to a completely different, magical world. The seemingly inconspicuous boy soon discovers that he holds a power inside him which is capable of changing the fate of the newly-discovered land. Together with his two schoolmates and a faithful canine companion, Charlie embarks on a magical journey while a powerful evil entity follows his every move.
The story is targeted at younger readers, but if you're an adult searching for creative world-building and fantasy universes, you'll find yourself at home here. There is enough action here to keep the reader intrigued, and the characters are well-written and likeable. I finished the book in a couple of sittings and grabbed the next part right away.

Received this book as a gift. This is a YA book on the younger side of YA - middle school. So I found the characters obnoxious and overly emotive fairly frequently. The repetition of Duh and Huh and Doofus was pretty unbearable. The opening of the book dragged for me, but the world building of the alternate world was well done and interesting and the premise of the plot is engaging if relying heavily on classic fantasy tropes of The One. If I were more into high fantasy, I might have enjoyed this more. A book series I would consider getting for a nerdy middle schooler.

This book was so… fantastical. And in a very good way. The missing star is of no fault of the authors. I just simply think I don't enjoy YA stories anymore. It's too easy for me to predict when it comes to the twists and turns. And it was a bit more juvenile than I would've expected for a YA book.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a darker Harry Potter, classic fantasy, portals, DOGS and humorous banter. I will be reading the next book!

Good story
The story was, in my opinion, good, interesting, & a plot for fantasy. However, in places & in the author's sentence usage, it was very juvenile, even for a young adult audience. I'm not sure if I will continue to read the following books.

a light and fun read. The target audience for this book is teens and young adults, yet it still held my interest and was, in fact, a page turner. This is a must-read for anyone who loves adventure stories.

Even being written for a younger audience, this was thrilling. I'm already excited about the next installment! This is a middle school Lord of the Rings with a touch of reality.

Interesting
The title fits the book appropriately. Everything is based on belief. It's worthwhile if you like new worlds, strong foes, and almost impossible odds.

Magic
A magical kingdom found by 4 young people and a dog. The kingdom on the verge of being destroyed by evil mage and monsters. Was a very good story.

DNF. I stopped reading around 16% when the teen girls and the middle aged man were flirting in the school. I don't have kids but I wouldn't be giving this to my nieces/nephews to read.
July 10, 2025
Honestly, I'm surprised more people aren't comparing this to Percy Jackson or Avatar: The Last Airbender, because these kids reminded me so much of those kids!
Do You Believe in Magic? is a heart-thumping, coming-of-age portal fantasy set in South Carolina. Charlie's life changes radically when his father disappears without a word, and he and his mother are forced to move in with his grandparents on their vast acreage. At his new school, he's greeted by bullies, but fortunately, he befriends two kids with issues of their own. The trio's problems are replaced with new ones once they find a magical waterfall and have to fight evil—and exhaustion—in order to get back home.
I really enjoyed this story and thought the fantasy world was unique and adventurous. The mood of the book takes on a slightly darker theme with the concept of nightmares, bullying, and parental problems that the kids deal with, but it stays within the realm of young adult; so I didn't feel like it was "too much". The kids made believable and relatable decisions, so they were easy to root for and we always wanted to see them win; especially since they had real-life problems like Type-1 Diabetes and Asthma.
A few disclaimers are needed: Cursing is present, albeit very mild (there are a couple of strong words sprinkled throughout, but I wouldn't rate it above a PG-13 level). There are some off-handed comments regarding bathroom humor and body bullying that might not sit well with some young readers and a few mentions of characters being naked, though these are not sexual or detailed in nature (they're humor points).
Overall, it's a fun YA Fantasy that will captivate teens and adults alike!

What a magical world. I was very pleased. Purple horses. 10 ft tall men. Dogs that are as big as horses. Who else wants to leave their world behind and enter a magical one?
A magical waterfall that leads to a magical world where Charlie and his friends will have to decide what to do. Do they help these new friends that they found or do they go back to their normal teenager lives?
It is geared towards young readers but I'm thinking any age can enjoy. It was a great read.

It's not typical for me to like YA, but there is something special in this book.
I resonated with the main character right off the bat and I realized belatedly that one of my favorite series I read as a young adult (Thomas Covenant Chronicles) was also portal fiction.
As an adult, used to reading and writing dystopian fiction, this was a welcome breath of fresh air that I looked forward to reading each night. And I'm eagerly awaiting the second book, which I hear is almost ready for editing (I found the author here: https://jimmelvin.substack.com/).
I recommend it for young adults and those young at heart, or in need of a fun escapist romp through a fascinating world that has me keeping an eye out for portals. Just in case.

Interesting alternate universe/fantasy!
Do You Believe in Magic? is well written with an alternate universe that is well developed and very interesting. The characters are typical young teenagers but evolved into much more in that universe. The story is interesting and I enjoyed it for the most part but the over use of ‘huh’ and ‘doofus’ threw me out more than once. I plan to read book 2 so I was engaged enough to create curiosity in the conclusion of this series.
