Book Review: Rise of the Mage by Keary Taylor

My Review: 

I usually don't read books with witchy stuff like this, so good thing it ended up not technically being witchy stuff, lol. But I love Keary Taylor's books, so I needed to give this one a try. And I'm glad I did.

The characters are raw and real, and I love the discovery of magic and abilities, and I'm excited for more. The twists and turns were great, especially one toward the end. I have a few theories, but I guess I'll have to see if I'm right!

Great read, and can't wait for the next.

Summary: 

My academic life at Alderidge University was meant to be predictable. As the daughter of acclaimed professors, lecture halls were my childhood playground. Little did I know that the pages of my future were about to be irrevocably rewritten the moment Nathaniel Nightingale entered my life.

His scar-laden hands told me he had a haunted past. But when I discover the truth about his secret studies, I learn that violent history extends generations. His ancestors were hunted and hanged for that they could do. And when he learns my own family lines go back to the Salem witch trials, he invites me to join in his experiments with the arcane and academic—the resurrection of magic.

It isn’t just our clandestine studies bringing us together. Nathaniel is a mystery to unravel, but with every shared secret and stolen glance, I find myself craving more than just his whip smart mind. Which will burn me first? The magnetic pull of dangerous love, or the reckless practice of the ancient arts?
