Caged Magic by Sadie JacksMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Interesting Start
This book is set in an imaginary world where 10% of the population are magic users. Kiema is one of them. She has been enslaved by her parents, locked in either her apartment or her office, which is surrounded by glass walls, so she can be watched at all times. Her only use to her parents is her ability to heal, which is sold for vast sums of money.
When she heals she is allowed to work on her own with the person she heals out in a ‘cottage’ in the countryside, where her magic finds it easier to work. This is her only opportunity to escape and this time she’s going to take it. Except this time she’s healing Ransom and when she heals him she is able to touch him without pain, something she’s never been able to do. This change throws everything up into the air. Ransom has other plans for Kiema and doesn’t know if she wants to go along with them or not.
This world is similar to our own, but slightly different. It’s a sideways step into a ‘what if’ world, where magic is real. Kiema is controlled and reserved, as she has been taught to be. She is touch starved and when she can finally touch someone it makes for some raunchy scenes.
Ransom starts out incredibly ruthless, out for revenge against his perfectionist family, virtually outcast for his mystery illness. He is highly intelligent and his friends are the same. All of them have exceptional talents that complement each other, and they all have illnesses that they want Kiema to heal.
I liked getting to know both Kiema and Ransom and how they learned to deal with each other. The introduction of Ransom’s friends gives us a hint that this is going to be a reverse harem book, but who knows as there were many twists and turns in the plot that leave the reader a little bewildered. There is a large cliffhanger, but as the book is already out, that doesn’t bother me as much as it would if I had to wait 6 months for the next book.
A very enjoyable read from a new to me author, and I look forward to reading many more books from her.
