Short summary of the story: Thank you goodreads for proving the summary
Good points / bad points: This is a fun short read. When I first read it I though it was going to be gay Harry Potter. Well, it is. It took elements from Harry Potter and twisted to suit the story. I do realise that it was originally on Wattpad, so this is by all means a debut(?). So I cannot fault the author for making mistakes, as it was not originally intended to be published. It was nothing special, but it was a fun read. I liked that there was gay rep in fantasy books, as the most rep is in contemporary books. So a big plus in that department. I do think that it is rushed. So the pacing could have been way slower. Like, the entire book takes place in the span of 1 1/2 months. It can be a little slower, and develop the world and the characters more. That would be better in my opinion.You try magic once and it sticks to you like glitter glue . . .
When Johnny and his best friend, Alison, pass their summer holidays dabbling in magic, they never expect it to have consequences. Sure, it’d be great if they could banish bullies or change their lives for the better, and what harm could come from lighting a few candles and chanting a few spells? When they cause an earthquake that shakes Chicago to its core, they draw the attention of the Marduk Institute, an age-old organization dedicated to fostering the talents of young wizards.
Once there, Johnny and Alison are told they can never return to their previous lives, and must quickly adapt to a new world shimmering with monsters, fraternities, and cute boys like Hunter and Blake. But when they’re pulled into an epic, supernatural fight that could cost them both their lives, Johnny and Alison find strength they never knew they had as they battle for love, acceptance, and their own happy ending—all with the help of a little magic
