A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Heathermh
What a wonderful first book in the Songs of the Mages series by Ms. Hart. I fell in love with Damien right away. His wonderful heart and soul came through the pages of the story and made me cheer and root for him the whole time.
My heart was breaking for Toria and the pain she had to overcome and deal with with. I saw her warrior spirit and strength in her even when she didn't. The author did a wonderful job of having showing us her strength that was sitting just below the surface. I loved how she had Toria work through her demons at her own pace despite the wishing from Damien that she would work through them faster.
The story is full of wonderful twist and turns and in the mix I meet and fall in love with Damien's two best friends Jason and Rafe. I so want to hear and read more about them in future stories. If you are looking for a book filled with action, romance, and amazing twists then I highly recommend Songs of the Mages 1.
