Forbidden Magic: The Gift

Rate this book
A month ago, Victor Anders was a regular teenager with ordinary teenage problems. Now, he’s the victim of an experiment gone wrong, struggling with strange new powers and the temptation surrounding them.Conjured flames, magical flight, reading minds and even influencing the emotions of others are all within his grasp, given enough practice and time. Unfortunately, there are others aware of his abilities, each with agendas of their own. Some, like his old mentor, Lucy Wilson, want to help him in well-intentioned, albeit misguided ways. Others, like the mysterious female terrorist known only as the Night Angel, want something else entirely.It’s up to Victor to decide for himself whether Undercliff City is to be a playground, or a battleground.

Ok, TBH, I was about to stop reading this book until the "oh s**t" moment hit and the main character is forced to abruptly grow up. The MC is a 19 year old that acts like he's 3 for most of the story. He shows up and tries to figure out what's going on and TBH, NOTHING is quite what it seems. There's the age old question of do you do what's right regardless of the consequences? The story literally makes it worth it at the end. This is also a story where the MC's POV is deceptive. Not on purpose, but you're literally only given the story from his end and you have no idea whatever the terrible secret he's harboring. The only thing that you have that lets you know it's a pretty dark secret is when the books "villain" says you have a pretty messed up secret. With that, I'm dying to figure out what the hell his secret is and what's going to happen moving forward.

Intense fiction

A science fiction short with bite. Anya showing some subtle depth. Not for those who are looking for escape and soft fantasy.

Series started with some good punch, but later to my disappointed plot didn't materialized.
