There is a dark secret that is hiding at the heart of New York City and diminishing the city’s magicians’ power in this fantasy thriller by acclaimed author Kat Howard.

In New York City, magic controls everything. But the power of magic is fading. No one knows what is happening, except for Sydney—a new, rare magician with incredible power that has been unmatched in decades, and she may be the only person who is able to stop the darkness that is weakening the magic. But Sydney doesn’t want to help the system, she wants to destroy it.

Sydney comes from the House of Shadows, which controls the magic with the help of sacrifices from magicians.

MY THOUGHTS:

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

So I finally got my hands on this book.

I think the only way to describe the intense, gut-gripping feeling I got while reading this book is to say it like this.

A swirling chaotic mass of intrigue, mysticism with dark, ripping ruthlessness spinning chaotically around a black gaping vortex of bleak impending doom. There be houses, competitions, challenges, fights, dueling magicians–a multitude of characters and much death.

I loved it!!!!!
