Review Don't Judge a Book By Its Magic by Kate Policani

Overview

Colleen is a normal girl. She loves shoes, chick flicks, and cute clothes. The only thing abnormal about her is that she’s just become a magician; not the disappearing bunny kind, but the power-shooting-out-of-your-hands kind of magician.Her problem now is that she doesn’t believe in magic. Well, she believes in it. She’s seen it shoot out of her own hands, but she opposes it in a moral sense; no hexes, no spells, no incantations, no potions, no amulets, no tomes, no casting circles, no eye of newt, none of that. She has to be very clear because people pressure her about it. Whatever they say about “how it’s done”, this is a morality issue for her and she will not cave in to their pressure.Join Colleen at Seattle Pacific Regional University, where she becomes a part of The Convergence. She’ll learn the freaky side of Work Study, Financial Aid, and Vyxhepiocht. Seriously, she’s never seen so many hot guys. It’s going to be wild!

 

Review by the Bookworm

 

Max, Tynan and London, OH MY!

 

In "Don't Judge a Book by its Magic", we are introduced to Colleen Underhill.  A fresh from high school eighteen year old that still isn't positive on what she wants to do with her life. 

 

She spends  her time in the local library indulging in her love of the literary world, when she happens to find a book that belongs to no one.  The library or anyone else.  Within a few chapters, Colleen's world changes.  A Christian girl with Christian beliefs, she is thrown into a world of things that were not suppose to exist, but do. 

 

Taken from her family, she begins to learn the ways of the folk that she did not know lived within her own neighborhood, and thus finds herself not in a love triangle, but a love square!

 

I was pulled in immediately with the sense of style, humor, wittiness and overall actions that Miss Policani put into her characters.  Change the hair and eye color, I AM Colleen, minus the whole "magic" bit!  This book was beyond enjoyable in every sense of the word.  My one question...WILL THERE BE A SEQUAL?  Lord, I hope so!

 

Loves!
