Fatal error: Call to undefined function isLitsy() in /var/www/html/inc_magicDB.php on line 425- Jessaca is a fantasy writer with an inclination toward the dark, epic, and adventure sub-genres. She draws inspiration from books like The Nevernight Chronicles, videogames like Dark Souls, and television shows like Game of Thrones and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Aenwyn and Darius face a lot of obstacles together and alone to get to their destination, and the book goes back and forth between both characters so readers get a great insight into their perspectives. The story is slow, but this means readers can get a chance to connect with each character. Then picks up and the story is immersive and written really well.

This was a breeze to read!
If you like magic school YA novels that don't even remotely hint they are Harry Potter ripoffs, this short story is for you!
The plot is simple enough: two identical twin sisters were raised like ordinary humans but they don't get along even remotely well. Moirai has a tendency to snatch her sister Eureka's clothes without asking for permission, ruins them and then acts like her sister is crazy when she confronts her about her mischief. Readers such as myself who didn't get along very well with a sibling at that age will instantly feel identified with the feeling.
The problem resides when Eureka says something spiteful to her sister while staring at the bathroom mirror... and Moirai vanishes without a trace.
Yikes!
Fast forward a few months later, Eureka suffers from PTSD, has a pair of demon horns, she is a new transfer student to demon and angel academy and things are not going on very well for her while she adapts to so many changes...
I really enjoyed the story of Eureka suffering in silence over the loss of a sister that nobody even knows about (did her human parents ever find out?) and the way it ends while also introducing us to an interesting magic school with its own cliques. If there was one thing that stopped me from giving it the full 5 stars because it was a very enjoyable read, it would be the entire plot hole of how could magical people never notice it weird that Eureka was an only child when pretty much everyone has at least one twin sibling. Sure, she lies a lot and didn't bring any photos to her new school, but what about her human parents? How does magic school snatch prospective students from ordinary humans, do they erase their memory? I kept on wondering this the whole book.
Perhaps the full-fledged series tackles this a whole deal more. All in all, it is something most readers could easily overlook which doesn't fully deter the enjoyment of an otherwise solid read. Good job!
Oh, here are a few typos I found:
54% of hi traps
55% There limbs flail
68% with every breathe
92% and setup a circle… (mais)
