The Legacy by Lana Melyan (The Weight of Magic #2)

Synopsis:

Nicky is a witch now.

She has her powers, but the price she paid was too high.

And as if that wasn't enough, the responsibility dropped on her shoulders by Callahan magic is too heavy to carry alone.

The only one who can help her is Nathan.

But can she trust him?

Review:

Second book in The Weight of Magic series from the pen of a brilliant author of Eternity Road series, Lana Melyan.

First book left us on a proper cliff-hanger with only tiny taste of what is to come, but thankfully I didn’t have to wait long to find out.

Nicki’s parents are gone and she is finally learning the truth about her magical heritage and the heavy mission her parents have dedicated their lives too. Mission that will now become hers.

We meet new witchy characters of Brian, Kate and Sam and carry on with the saucy immortal warlock Nathan – will they or won’t they.

These books have it all to keep you entertained – magic, mystery, tragedy, love and attraction. Brilliant quick reads that feed your imagination.

The First Wave by Lana Melyan (The Weight of Magic #1)

Synopsis:

Nicky Callahan is the daughter of a powerful warlock. She can’t wait to become a witch, but she is nearly eighteen and still has no magical powers. What seems really strange to her is that her witch parents don't seem to be worried at all.

On the first day of school, she notices a guy, too old to be a student. He watches her from afar – sometimes with a smirk, sometimes with a frown on his handsome face. 

The question is – what does he want from her? 

Her best friend Connie thinks it’s merely an innocent flirt, but something tells Nicky that the answer is more complicated than that.

Review:

I have read the Eternity Road trilogy by Lana Melyan, which was brilliant, so was intrigued to see a new book for a brand new series. I would say that The First Wave is for a slightly younger audience then Eternity Road, but any good fantasy, super-natural fan will enjoy it as much as I did.

This is quite a quick-paced read and took me a day to finish. However, it finishes on a sort of a cliff-hanger, which cleverly gets you hooked and hungry for more. Lana is very good at creating believable characters in a fantasy book. Connie and Nicki seem like normal teenagers with normal problems of what to wear, boyfriends and going to school with the added spice of living in a world of witches, warlocks and vampires.

The only reason I give the book four stars is that it just finished too soon. I really got into it and just as something really started to go down, I was on the last page and left thirstier than the vampires already mentioned. This is a great super-natural book, fab start to a new series and a great example of a book for young and old(ish) audience.

Big thanks to the author and TBConFB.
