BLURB:
It’s a mysteriously charmed life for orphan Sebastien Harris, but it’s still a shock to be offered a full ride to attend grad school at the obscure but prestigious Bosch University in upstate New York. Trouble starts as he attempts to reach the campus for his interview: first the train is cancelled, then a swarm of migratory air mattresses block the streets.
When he finally arrives, he’s too exhausted to question why a remarkably handsome man named Gem is waiting for him, nor does he have time. A demon horde demolishes the university, and the pair run for their lives—at which point Sebastien realizes Gem is not, strictly speaking, human. Their adventure exposes Sebastien’s heritage…and reveals the prophecy he is destined to fulfill. Gem is infernal, a human-demon hybrid, and meant to be Sebastien’s servitor, a magical well from which Sebastien, a warlock by birth, will draw the power to remake the world. If he survives.
REVIEW:
Gem is an infernal and Sebastien a warlock, not just a warlock he’s a rare one. He doesn’t even know he is one at all.
Infernals were bound to warlocks. After Sebastien meets Gem they are bonded in no time.
Soon they have to run (fly) when they understand the powerful Tcherla is after Sebastien.
There is no malice to find in Sebastien and a lack of fear, Gem can’t believe his eyes. Sebastien is a kind, considerate, caring warlock.
Gem is the most beautiful creature, lean, flexible, handsome, and has some amazing wings.
Sebastien’s connection with Gem is powerful. The things Sebastien does to Gem’s soul is fascinating, his (and mine) heart fluttered from ecstasy!
“Cute”
Together with Togram, Gem’s sister, and Celia, Togram’s warlock, they travel to find answers and a safe place.
Gem and Sebastien’s bond is getting stronger and stronger, when they become one, it was pure magic, magnificent sparkling magic.
“It’s hard to seduce you when you keep seducing me first.”
Their journey is one of many adventures, many!
We meet a troop of creatures; Warlocks, half-demon, Unseelies, Sidhe, Fate, talking Jaybirds, palm trees… palm trees? Yes, and a lot more.
All in all this adventure is a lot to consume, for me, tending to too much.
It was an exceptional narrative. Here and there some ridiculously performed actions.
The authors show us a world with a great diversity of fantasy with magic everywhere. There was an overwhelmingly hustle and bustle. All written at a fast pace. The main characters were endearing and sweet, vulnerable, and lovable.
Overall an entertaining, funny, and exciting story.
