That all changed with a drunk driver. With the death of her mother, Ryanne became more alone than she’d ever been. With no friends or family to turn to, a local woman named Jane offered to help Ryanne in her time of need. A visit to the local bookstore changed Ryanne’s life forever. That’s where she met Colton Wagner, who awoke something in Ryanne she didn’t know she had. Being the only non-mage to ever gain magic, paints a target on Ryanne’s back for it has been prophesized that a non-mage female would end the chaos created by rogue mages, the Gadramicks.

Clearly a novice writer, but one with great potential By Laura Though there are some errors in this book that are distracting it was a very quick and enjoyable read. It's clear the writer is a novice, but one that has great potential. For a free book I can't complain! I've read some HORRIBLE books by young indie authors but this is by far one of the best I've come across. Unfortunately, so many poorly written books are available now because self publishing and independent writing is much easier thanks to technology. That's why detailed and helpful reviews are important. Despite the spelling and grammar errors this book kept my attention. One other reviewer complained about the use of "Anyways". That, I didn't have a problem with - this is a young adult novel, and young adults use very poor grammar and commonly use "anyways" as an accepted word. That I felt was just the author identifying with the audience and being age appropriate with how her main characters talk. It's more so the sentence fluency, structure and spelling errors that tend to bother me - which wasn't THAT big of a problem here. Though the Colton relationship was annoying, as others have said, it's very typical for teenagers and young adults to act like they were and be that immature. The fact that the relationship annoyed me means that it was well developed - at least it made me FEEL something. I even shed a few tears for the main character at one point. I connected with many of the characters in the book and was rooting for them at the end.Despite the lack of writing experience this author may have, she was able to tell a great story in a way that kept me coming back for more. Grammar skills are easy to learn - great story telling is not. Her character and story development was well done and she has me anxiously waiting for the next book in the series. That, for a young self published author, is a huge accomplishment. With a good editor this author could produce five star novels.
11 of 12 people found the following review helpful. A good first effort By beetqueen I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, especially after reading some of the reviews. While I will say that the grammar issues were bothersome at times, they were not, as one reviewer claims, enough to rate the book a 1. To be honest, I hope anyone who reads that review realizes that the reviewer did not even bother to finish the novel. The grammar errors were present, but not so glaring as to derail the story. The author is young, her bio clearly states she is a college student (and one studying biology, not English) and since this is her first offering, I think it is a pretty solid one. The constant switching between past and present tense bothered me quite a bit, but I am an English teacher, and this is a grammar issue I am constantly fighting. I also think the author needs to work a bit less on telling portions of the story and showing more of it. She relies a bit much on pop culture references rather than her powers of description. She also could improve her word choice a bit more. I got the sense she was purposely avoiding using traditional curse words and replacing them with words like "crap," and "butt load," I think in an attempt to be less offensive. They come off as equally crude, but again, I think this is a sign of a young writer who just needs more experience and a good editor. I think that is what some poor reviews of this book seem to be forgetting: professionally published novels have editors who are paid decent (and sometimes amazing) money to make sure their novelists don't look like immature writers. They do all the grammar moping up and yet, it is rare I read a commercially printed work that does not contain typos and grammar mistakes, so cut this book some slack.As for the story itself, I think the author knows her target audience: fans of Twilight. Coming from me, that is a bit of an insult as I do not think Stephanie Meyers is talented in the least. However, unlike Twilight, there was actually action and Ryanne was likeable. Granted, it was a bit annoying that every guy was drawn to her and yet she seemed completely clueless to their attraction. Even girls who don't get a lot of attention can eventually pick up on hints, especially when every guy she meets is sending those hints out in some way. I also found myself wondering how a character who seemed so unsure of guys was constantly sitting on their laps. It just seemed odd that she sat on everyone's laps rather than in a chair or on the floor. Again, these are minor issues and I hope that in the rest of the series she develops the characters a bit more. Hoyt is developing Ryanne as a character, although right now several of the other main characters appear a bit flat and static. I'm assuming she will develop them more as the series continues.Also unlike Twilight, I feel like Hoyt has real potential as a writer. I wanted to finish the novel and I am often harsh on books. While I usually power through even if I don't like the book that much (Twilight), I have been known to stop when I find the plot insipid or the characters completely unlikeable (The Corrections). I wanted to know how this one ended. I also want to buy the next installment in this series and look forward to reading it. I hope Ms. Hoyt gets enough interest in her books and sends her works to professional publishers. I think she has a real shot. With some work this book could rival Twilight in its success, especially since Hoyt already surpasses Meyers in her story telling ability.

I started the book today and couldn't put it down and finished this evening. I couldn't stop reading it and am waiting anxiously for the next one to come out. It is a great start for a new author.
