Review: Magnetic by Anya J Cosgrove

Magnetic by Anya J. Cosgrove
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Feisty and Flirty

This book is apparently a spin-off from the author’s Shadow Walker series, which I didn’t realise when I downloaded it. I don’t think I missed out on not reading the series first, but I don’t know how much more rich this book would have been with that backstory.

Vicky is a vandella, a half demon who exists by feeding on desire. She’s been on the run for a while, until she is finally snatched by vampires. A beautiful and charismatic half demon is well able to distract a few male vampires, especially when she comes equipped with a Lure. When she manages to escape and at the same time get dangerously wounded she’s not sure she’s going to make it. When she is rescued by wolf shifters it seems that she’s going to survive.

Vicky’s story is complicated and hidden from the start of the book and little drops of intriguing history are placed in front of the reader like breadcrumbs in the forest. Interwoven through the interesting and multi-layered plot revolving around the wolves and their lives and conflicts is passion and affection laced through with Vicky’s never ending fear of discovery.

It’s a well constructed story and I enjoyed it a lot, but there were a few leaps in time that seemed to skim over things through the books. It distracted a bit from the story, which was a shame because this book was really outstanding apart from those few weird jumps.

Despite this the interesting characters, intriguing plot and high emotions are well worth reading about. In fact I’m intrigued enough to download the first book in the series that this book was a spin off for, to see if it’s as good as this one.
