Synopsis
Magic in this time and age is something we wish existed only in fairy tales and fantastical stories, not something that infects you, makes you go insane and sometimes you just don’t survive.
Three teen’s life got changed forever, as the authorities declare them infected and sent to Chebeague, a school for the teens that got magically infected there the institution tries to teach them how to lead
Review
At first I thought I would get dizzy and get my facts mixed up when I discovered there where 3 voices we follow as the story develops, but luckily each author brought to the table a unique personality with a narration that seemed to be enough to give each character its own but in a way that let the narration flow as you change from one character’s point of view into the next’s.
 Although I had to admit that in the fast scenes I would get a little lost for a couple of lines, but luckily the character’s personality jumped at me and I got my senses back on track.
The world seemed to remind me at first of Laura Powell’s Witch Fire, a world where witches would still be burned if it wasn’t for the government trying to “protect” them. I was glad to see this story only resemblance is that they are both about witches. This world more like Professor Xavier’s Academy gone wrong.
I loved how I got lost in this story, I suspect a great part is that I saw parts of people that I love in the main characters that made me get sucked into the story. Don’t get me wrong that doesn’t mean that I didn’t got mad at them or frustrated but they made the story more believable and made my brain and imagination want to cooperate even further at bringing this story to life.
I do recommend that if you are in the market for a story filled with more than two P.O.V.’s, magic, mystery and three authors injecting life into a book you give this one a chance.
