He’s important and powerful, and his family has resided there for generations. For example, Ryder is from a small, covenlike village in Ireland. One issue that drove me a crazy were inconsistencies in the story. Considering this is number four in the series, I really wasn’t that out-of-the-loop. Kudos to Jones, though, on her great job of catching up the reader. In all fairness, this is my first Raintree novel, and perhaps reading the others would have made a difference. I love the idea of two magical beings (over the age of seventeen) getting together to battle evil and, of course, falling for each other in the process, and after finishing this novel, I still love the idea, but I’m afraid this one didn’t quite “abracadabra” me as much as I’d hope.

But in a genre overloaded with vamps and wolves, the premise behind this one stood out to me. You would think that novels like this in the world of paranormal/sci-fi romance would be easy to find. I was first drawn to this novel because of the magic. I received a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. I was completely caught up in Ryder and Echo’s romance from the very beginning and I can only hope that there are more Raintree stories to come…like maybe Cassidy’s story. You don’t have to read the first three books in the series to enjoy this one but you would have a better understanding of the world and some events that lead up to where the Raintree Clan are in this story. The well written scenes and details capture the imagination and bring the story to life while the well orchestrated events ensure that the reader wants to know every last detail. Unknown enemies have a diabolical plan to steal magic and it involves the town and threatens everything the peaceful town has tried to protect which add lots of suspense and excitement to the story and betrayals and desperate plans adds layers of depth and emotion to the story that spices things up even more. The steady to fast paced plot keeps readers hovering in anticipation with suspense and romance as Echo and Ryder’s desires for each other complicates their lives and while the sex may be red hot their relationship is slow simmering due to past and present issues. Ryder finds himself compelled to help Echo despite the threat she poses to the town and their secrets and the reader can’t help but get caught up in the battle of wills between these two strong bewitching characters that grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning and doesn’t let go.

At the mercy of uncontrollable visions, Echo Raintree seeks out the fearsome wizard Ryder Duncan for help and finds herself drawn into the center of a brewing battle – one where her past and Ryder’s dark secret threatens their future in this exciting paranormal romance.
