Wicked Sense (Singularity Book One)
Witches inhabit our world, organized in covens and hiding behind a shroud of secrecy, the Veil.
Skye’s London coven sends her to Seattle’s Greenwood High to find the Singularity, an unusually gifted witch who may break the Veil and trigger a dangerous new era of witch-hunting. Skye’s job gets even trickier when she clashes with intimidating rival witch Jane and meets charming new classmate Drake.
Drake falls for the mysterious Skye, but odd accidents, potion mix-ups, and the occasional brush with death kind of get in the way of romance. Once he discovers Skye is a witch, he goes to war for her, even though his only weapons are a nice set of abs and a sharp sense of humor.
Fighting off wicked Jane and the other dark forces hell-bent on seizing the Singularity's immense power, Skye and Drake will risk everything to save the covens.
Going on a date has never been harder.
~ MY REVIEW ~
"Why can't magic work as it does in fairy tales?"
This was an awesome book from start to finish! Wicked Sense was another one where I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I love books of this genre but sometimes they tend to blend together. Fabio has an intriguing and fun take on the constructs of magic and life as a witch. He was able to produce an excitingly original story with a great cast of characters. You are thrown right into the plot and the explanation comes later. This is something I really enjoyed about his writing style. I also liked the fact that although the story is narrated from both Drake and Skye's point of view, it enhances the story instead of creating confusion. You get to experience the thoughts and feelings of both characters which made me feel more apart of the story. I was quickly immersed in the plot and didn't put this book down once. The characters come to life and I found them to be incredibly real and relatable. Magic and real life are mixed well throughout the story. Skye may be a witch but she is also a girl and deals with real life issues as well. Her romance with Drake has a bumpy start but comes together nicely. The sparks that fly between them are so sweet! Skye's character really comes into her own and the strength she gains is commendable. I thought she was a perfect female lead. I was thrilled with how she stood up to Connor! The secondary characters really added to the story as well. Pricilla's character is misunderstood and I am so glad she becomes Skye's best friend. I can picture her becoming a Knowing. (Am I on to something her Fabio??) I can not wait for the next book in this series! I hope I don't have to wait too long! I'm excited to see how this story unfolds. So many things happened in this book and the twist at the end was unexpected. I definitely recommend Wicked Sense if you are a fan of paranormal romance. (And for those of you that aren't , this book is light on the romance! Which fits it perfectly. Believe me you will enjoy reading this book!)
(Wicked Sense is available from Amazon in Paperback and Kindle )
Thank you for reviewing my novel, Jill! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it!
