Cornered Magic

The Void Series, Book 1

By: Charissa Dufour

Narrated by: Janelle Tedesco

Sam, a half-fae Void, is ostracized by her own people, much less the humans who control her home - the Illinois Mystical Reservation. Packed into the Reservation with vampires, werewolves, faes, and mages alike, Sam does her best to travel below the radar, but when her only friend asks for her help, she can’t say no. Her work to solve a fae’s murder brings her to the forefront of vampire politics, and changes her life forever.

Interesting beginning

This is an interesting beginning to a series. I love almost all vampire books, and this is no exception. You dont just get vamps, you also have other types of mystics, and that is a winner from the get go! Can't wait to see where this goes.

*I requested this book and am voluntarily leaving this review

Very enjoyable

This book isn't typically what I'd choose for myself, but after being given a review copy of one of Charissa Dufour's other books, I thought I'd try her other series.

I'm really glad that I did! The characters are quite well defined and relatable. I normally don't go for books this short, but the length really didn't bother me. In fact, I think it was actually the perfect length for the story she was trying to tell.

Cornered Audio Book

so I love the story but the narrator isn't all that great. still I love it.

Great world building!!

The first book in a series is always a challenge, especially in a fantasy book. Not only must the characters be relatable, the world-building has to make sense. This book scored on both counts!!

In less than three hours, the main character is sympathetic, fearless, and definitely cornered. The story builds to a confrontation that gets resolved but just lends itself into more intrigue. Well-played Dufour!!

The narrator completes the story and sets up things nicely for book two!!

Wild ride

I asked for this book for free but the review is of my own. Sam is half fairy and half human but the true problem of this in her community is being a void were one can take and even kill another magical creature by taking their powers. Sam tries avoiding using her gift until one day there seems to be no choice and than her life is changed forever. This story definitely leaves you with an open ending and a wild ride.
