Book Review: Magic Thief (The New York Shade #1)

Magic Thief (The New York Shade, #1)

Magic Thief

D.N. Hoxa

Overall: 4/5

Plot and themes: 4/5

Characters: 4/5

Writing style: 3/5

Attention-grabbing: 4/5

Magic Thief is the first book in the New York Shade series. Sin has been trying to live under the radar since she faked her magic for her Guild test when she was ten. If they knew what she really was, she would have been killed then and now. Now, a vampire is threatening to expose her and her brother if she doesn't find an amulet for him. They make an unlikely team but they're both determined to release themselves from their respective cages. 

I was very close to just putting it down and DNFing because it wasn't super interesting at the beginning. I think it really balanced itself out though and made for a great introduction. I love when there are powers like hers because I'm a huge fan of the overpowered female protagonist and her powers are definitely OP. I also very much appreciate how Damian completely acknowledges this and just goes on his way. 

So it was a great start. Not much to say about a book when there aren't major issues. Though I would appreciate if we got a little more depth on everyone involved. I think later it'll feel a lot more solid as a book series and hopefully a lot more exciting.
