Blackwell

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Blackwell follows two men, Jacob O'Connor and Magnus Blackwell, who meet on their very first day of architecture school at Harvard. Jacob is an orphan who is attending Harvard through a scholarship, while Magnus is from one of the wealthiest families. No one expected the friendship between the two and some believed that Magnus befriended Jacob out of pity. It seems as if their friendship would last forever, but then Frances comes along. Both of them are attracted to her and eventually begin to catch feelings for her. The story truly begins when Frances calls off the wedding with Magnus, and not too long later marries his best friend Jacob.

I loved this book. It was interesting how much magic and voodoo were mentioned, but magic didn't too much seem to play a part of the story. While the magic did seem very much real, I felt like it was more jealousy, rage and karma that played a part in the actions of Magnus and Jacob. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good lover scorned story or even someone who enjoys a story revolving around revenge.
