Many years ago, in fact enough years ago that I really don't want to admit to them, I read Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince etc., and enjoyed them. This book's afterword explains why she took so long to write something new, depression can be ugly.

This is an interesting story of a group of magicians, the focus is Holly McClure, whose blood can "fix" spells and make them more potent. Her boyfriend and her coven have to fight evil in New York City, and it's an interesting mix. Yes, it has romance, but it's not "a romance" per say, it is as it is billed, a love story with magical interruptions. Evan Lachan is a great balance to Holly and he has to deal realistically with his own issues before dealing with hers.

I enjoyed the read and I look forward to the sequel Fire Raiser.
