#096 Magic resistant, Veronica Del Rosa

This book is set in a completely new paranormal environment where there is magic which rules a majority of the land and people who are resistant to magic are killed. There is also a whole ream of other supernatural creatures including demons, werewolves and anything else you could imagine. This book is centred around two main characters and tell their story of how they fell in love and overcame obstacles in their way to keep each other alive.

The main characters are Jackson and Julia; Jackson is a magic using person who has come under scrutiny from the ruling government when they thought he turned rogue after investigating a ring of demons. Whereas Julia is a magic resistant who hides her identity so as not to be killed; when she gets dragged into a dangerous situation with Jackson where she saves the day. Jackson feels that he has to keep her close to him so that he remains undiscovered by the people he is running from. In this story the two characters come together in a way that is unlikely and very exciting to read about the story shows that both characters can operate individually and as a team. It also breaks the usual stereotype that men have to save women and flips it on its head.  

The secondary characters in this book help both characters reach a place where they need to be in order to succeed as a team. They also are the reason for many of the problems the couple faces on a regular basis in the book; I did not feel that any of the characters were noteworthy however, since they are not a constant throughout the book like the two main characters.

The pacing in the book was great bringing in different problems for the two main characters at exactly the right time allowing the reader sufficient time to understand exactly what is happening at certain times during the book.

The storyline is largely based on the action that is happening around the two main characters there are also strong themes of paranormal running through the book. I also like the little bit of romance that spans for the entirety of the book and that was especially important to our main characters story.

3.5 stars a really good read
