adventurous funny lighthearted mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

J'avoue que j'ai fini par m'attacher à la famille Beckett et j'avais notamment très envie d'en savoir plus sur Zach le sorcier de la famille lié à Hécate et qui semble être hyper puissant x) Et je n'ai pas été du tout déçu !!
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce livre même si mon coeur s'est serré pour Zach et pour tout ce qu'il a subi ...
J'ai adoré le roi et la reine des sorciers qui m'ont beaucoup fait rire (j'aurais beaucoup aimé avoir un livre sur leur passé !!)
Bref, un deuxième livre que j'ai apprécié comme le précédent x) J'ai hâte de lire le prochain !!
PS: bon les couvertures sont toujours très moches par contre =D

I must admit that I ended up loving the Beckett family and I particularly wanted to know more about Zach the wizard of the family related to Hecate and who seems to be hyper powerful x) And I wasn't disappointed at all !!
I loved this book even though I have a lump in my throat for Zach and for all he suffered ...
I loved the king and the queen of witches who made me laugh a lot (I would have loved to have a book on their past!)
In short, a second book that I enjoyed as the previous one x) I can't wait to read the next book !!
PS: well the covers are still very ugly =D

I have to say, I did like the humorous insertions from our heroine about feeling like she was in a fantasy romance novel. Pretty cute and not overdone. What was overdone? I don't know... telling us how Gareth feels about Gen every other page after she's introduced? I got it after the third time. Actually, after the first. Luckily this story was more about Jo and Zach.
Johra Yashodar is second in line in her coven, right after her mother. She's also a teacher. So when 24-year-old Zachary Beckett walks into her novice class, she's surprised.
But no more than Zach was in learning that he was a witch -- especially since he comes from a long line of wizards. But it seems like he can't even get that right. He keeps screwing up. So when Prince Roland tells Zach to leave the court, Zach decides it's time to go home. At least his family loves him. In spite of the screw ups. But Jo feels like something is wrong. So she follows her hottie-mctottie student home.
Is it any surprise (this is a romance people!) that when Zach casts his spell for a mate that Jo is the one to show up? Once they can get past the hurdle of her being two years older, a hex that's been put on Zach, and, you know, the family of warlocks that's after them all.
A nice, steady book.

Poor Zach. I think he deserved better in love and in life. I honestly think that he got gypped. I liked the quirkiness of Zach but it was dampened by other characters treatment of him at times.
