Couldn’t put it down!
I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of Pat Esden’s latest book, the first in her new Northern Circle Coven Series. From the very first pages, I was drawn into the heroine’s story. Chloe is young woman driven to correct the wrongs of her past, even at the expense of darkening her own soul. I love a character who is willing to be a little bad if it’s for the greater good.

Stir in some dark magical forces, a clever and subtle description of the differences between Wiccans and wielders of true magic, and the freight train-esque attraction Chloe feels for Devlin and his reciprocal need for her, and Pat Esden has hit this one out of the park (sorry, it’s the 1st day of the World Series and I have baseball on my mind).

Even if it weren’t for the excellently crafted characters, fresh plot, and the I-need-to-go-to-bed-because-I-have-an-early-day-but-can’t-put-down-this-book pacing of His Dark Magic keeping me enthralled, there were magically-animated metal flying monkeys! Flying monkeys!

I will definitely be waiting to read book 2 of the series.

I really liked this book. Cloe is not you typical collage student. She’s a Med school student and witch. She meets Devlin and joins a circle. She helps awaken Merlin’s shade, causes Chaos but manages to fix some of the mistakes. This books wasn’t slow moving which I Appreciate. You meet a lot of good and bad Characters. There are twist and turns you never see coming too! I would read the next book anytime!

One tragic impulsive mistake made Chloe Winslow an outcast to her influential magic family. As a medical student, she wants to combine science with sorcery to heal those she hurt and right her wrongs. But brilliant, charismatic Devlin Marsh re-routes her plans with a once-in-eternity offer: membership in the exclusive Northern Circle, a mysterious Vermont coven known for pushing the limits.
