Book Review: Magic in Light By Krista Street

Magic in Light
(Supernatural Community #1)
By Krista Street

A supernatural healer threatened by a deadly stalker. An alluring bodyguard she can't resist. And his secret that will shatter her entire world.

People on the brink of death come to me for life. I touch them, and my magic burns away their sickness. My gift is exhausting and painful, even dangerous.

Which means I never intentionally touch anyone, and no one touches me.

So dating? Definitely not happening.

All of that changes when a cyber stalker threatens to burn me at the stake. I reluctantly hire a bodyguard, a six-foot-three mountain of temptation named Logan Smith, literally at my fingertips at all times.

Every fiber of my twenty-one-year-old virgin body vibrates for him, but when I accidentally touch him, my gift doesn’t activate. Nothing happens except a zing of desire.

This is bad.

My mother told me about potential mates, but I’m Logan’s employer. And come on, just look at him. Those broad shoulders and that firm backside...he’s got to have a girlfriend back home.

But when the stalker crosses a line, Logan reveals a side of himself he kept hidden.

He’s not who he claimed to be.

And his secret not only shatters my entire world but threatens everything I once believed.

My Review:

This book was a nice breath of fresh air! The world-building was good and I have a feeling that it's going to become more and more prominent as the series progresses. The writing style and overall pacing of the story was also very good.

Daria was an interesting character to get to know! It's been a few years since I've read about a healer and I had forgotten how fascinating the powers can be. I liked that the author brought together an everyday paranormal creature with a less known/recognizable one. Though let's all just say how annoyed I was with her at ditching her security for a meeting that was sketchy from the getgo.

Logan was also a breath of fresh air when it came to his emotions. I still get taken aback when a book has a hero that actually emotes and has the maturity to have a conversation that mentions *gulp* feelings of any kind. I liked how attentive and protective he was with Daria and the people she loved. He was such a sweet guy with a controlling streak when things got dire.

Logan's packmates stood out in the story, which is a strange sentence coming from the person that usually lets the background characters blur together when they're introduced one on top of the other. Each one had distinct personalities and abilities. I hope we eventually get to read their stories when they find their respective mates.

The ending was bittersweet and emotional! I understand that their respective lives must go on, but I just want them to be happy together. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

My Favorite Quotes:

"It may take a few years, five years, ten years ... h*ll, maybe even twenty years, by at some point in the future you'll be able to remember them without it choking you."

"I don't operate on luck."
