Magic #3
Gold Magic: Terror in Mind
The author of Wizards, The Spellbinder & House of Silver Magic does it again.
In the third book of the Magic Series, we meet Paul and Sarah; teenagers thrust together by illness and forced to get to know each other in the confines of a small hospital ward for terminal patients. The evil of the world is about to stretch its tentacles into their lives and if they are not up to the challenge, London will be destroyed. Time is running out.
Paul is rushed to hospital from the squalid flat he shares with his mother. Nobody knows what's wrong with him, but everyone suspects his mother except Paul. He knows she could never deliberately hurt him. Time means nothing as he slips in and out of consciousness, never really waking up. He hears voices, some nice and some whispering of their plans to do something terrible.
A romantic spy thriller with a touch of magic and the return of old friends, Gold Magic takes the Magic Series in a new and fascinating direction.

The third book in the Magic Series introduces further characters, a large dose of intrigue, coupled with action and adventure....and of course, magic.
This story deals with today's modern world of hate, misunderstandings and politics. The author highlights the very real problems of racism and the mechanisms of politics - not always from a positive point of view. It is somewhat cynical of the police and the workings of those in charge...not without cause.
There is a very real sense of evil (as in the previous books) and that it is vital for 'good' to take up arms against it.
The use of teenagers brings a 'younger' feel to the story, yet this mixed with the disturbing elements, makes it an unusual book, as, in my opinion, are the other two in the series, which is no bad thing, just different.
I enjoyed the fast-paced story, and was glad to see some of the familiar characters involved (good and bad), and thought the departure from the first two books clever in that it opened up all sorts of possibilities for more in the series - I hope so.
It does need some editing, but that didn't spoil the fabulous read.
Highly recommended.
