Society of Wishes by Elise Kova, Lynn Larsh

Society of Wishes (Wish Quartet, #1)

by Elise Kova and Lynn Larsh

When her heart stopped, her magic started…

Josephina “Jo” Espinosa just wanted to take care of her family. One last hacking job for the mafia was supposed to be the ticket to everything – money, comfort, and getting out of a life of crime. Then, the feds caught up with her.

Jo never believed in magic. But when you’re staring down the barrel of a gun, you get desperate.

One dark web ritual, a bloody summoning circle, and a risky wish later, Jo finds herself reborn into the Society of Wishes with a dangerously destructive magic.

Her teammates are powerful sorcerers, she’s forced to grant people’s wishes, and her new boss is the impossibly attractive Snow. Jo’s inexplicably drawn to him. She knows he feels the same. So why won’t he allow himself to get close to her?

The Society is becoming more deadly by the day and Jo must unravel the secrets of Snow’s past before her magic unravels the very fabric of the world.

This is Elise Kova launch into a new series that is in the Adult Fantasy realm.  I don't tend to gravitate to much into this genre but their a few authors that i will hands down pick up no matter what.  Deborah harkness, Jim Butcher, Stephen King just a few adult authors that i thoroughly enjoy and i can now add this wonderful duo of Elise and Lynn.   In this new series we have a unique take on wishes and how they are taken care of.  When a wish is made the society members grant the wish, and therefore change that reality. They and their magic are the bridge that makes that possible. But always at a cost.  Whenever magic is involved a cost has to be taken into account. 

I like that though this book is written by a duo i could not tell where one author dominated over another they flowed together seamlessly which made for a great flow to the story.  Since this is an adult novel i was expecting the romance to be ramped up from the normal ya that i read.  It was and it was shared in a way that did not make me cringe and want to close the book.  It also did not dominate the story which tends to happen in most adult novels i have picked.  Props to the authors for being able to carry an amazing plot with a sprinkle of romance. 

I thought the authors did a wonderful job setting up the world, descriptions of places in the story where on point, and thoroughly enjoyed the variety of characters in the novel i have to say pan is by far my favorite.  As the novel winds down to the end we are left with the perfect set up to jump into book two with a character that your not quite sure is good or bad.  Nor are you quite sure what his objective is but you know that is going to be mysterious and enjoyable as the adventure continues in Circle of Ashes April 2018.
