Bright blaze of magic

Even though I started with the 3rd book in the series I don't feel like I missed too much of the main plot points of the past two books. Lila Sterling Merriweather lives in Cloudburst Falls a tourist town famous for its “monsters” like the Lochness that lives in the river, it seems its like an octopus. They never mention too much about other monsters except for Copper Crushers which is a type of snake.

There are magical families that run Cloudburst Falls who are constantly warring with each other. Lila has been taken in with the Sinclair family and whose boyfriend Devon is a part of. Victor Draconi is the head of that family and is intent on being the only Family in charge no matter what it takes.

The characters are very well fleshed out and the world is glossed over a bit (probably because it is the 3d book and that would have already been addressed) I enjoyed this book and wish I had started at the beginning.

This is a good book for a young adult reader as the most the characters do together is kiss.


I received this book free for an honest review in return from the publisher.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. Lila and the rest of the Sinclair Family are all nervously awaiting the strike that's sure to come from Victor Draconi. Knowing what he has planned isn't making them feel any better. They still have to figure out when he will attack, and how exactly to stop him. Hopefully, they will be able to count on some help, from other Families, and monsters too. I really like this series and hope there will be more!! I already miss Lila, Devon, Felix, Deah, Oscar, and all the rest.
