Mad Magic by Nicole Conway

Mad Magic (Mad Magic, #1)

by Nicole Conway

Mad Magic is a beautifully dark and rich Young Adult fantasy from Nicole Conway, bestselling author of the Dragonrider Chronicles.

Josie Barton is a high school student living in terror. Invisible creatures torment her everywhere she goes, constantly getting her into trouble at school, and even haunting her apartment. But just when Josie thinks things couldn’t get any worse . . . she meets the guy from across the hall.

Zeph Clemmont is a changeling with enemies in all the worst places, fighting to undo a curse that threatens to end his life. Survival means he will have to swallow his pride and trust Josie with all his darkest secrets.

With the help of a gun-slinging shaman and the enigmatic Prince of Nightmares, Zeph and Josie are only a heartbeat away from defeating one of the most diabolical faerie villains their world has ever known.

I read other series by this author and she does a fanatsic job with dragons.  Now we get to see what she does with an urban fantasy surrounding my other favorite mythical creature, the fae.  Oh boy oh boy did she knock it out the park.  You got your fun loving puck type fae which is the book he goes by a few names but his main one is Zeph.  Then you got a brooding puca who your not sure is good or bad or just somewhere in the middle.  You got your normal human who has no idea she got magic or she going to attempt to save the whole dang fae world.   Nicole adds in other delightful fae from the unseelie and the unseelie court.  Cause you can't have a fae book without a battle between those courts. 

I totally love this book, the romance is just right, the funny laugh out moments are a delight, and the battle for good over evil just pefect.  If your a huge fan of julie kagawa fae series or other fae series for that matter then this one will delight you and keep you reading tell the wee hours of the morning.   

I also felt that not only we got the ending to where this current story line was going we got a nice little glimpse into what happens once all was said and done.  I excited to see where things go for these characters in the rest of the series.
