BOOK REVIEW- Pride and Magic (Spells and Sins Book 1) by Melody Raven

43920658
 Magic always come back... Always.

Samantha Harris walked away from her family, and magic, years ago. But when a string of murders rocks New York City, Sam can't help but notice that the placement of the bodies screams magic. Except no one in her family seems to pick up the connection.

When she tries to give the lead detective a quick hint to send him in the right direction, Sam gets sucked further into the investigation than she ever thought possible. Now Detective Derek Pierce has to put together the half truths Sam is giving him and the facts of the case that get stranger by the second.

The killer is closer to Sam than she could've imagined and Derek is the only one who can stop him from tearing her family apart, but only if he knows the whole truth. And the whole truth is exactly what could kill him.  AMAZON 4 stars


I liked this story and loved the eBook cover!
Both Sam and Derek were good main characters that drew me in.   
This book was a bit different than some of the others that I have read.   I liked that Sam was different because she tried to walk away from magic and it cost her big time.  I liked how the author came at that from a different angle than I've read before.  Add to that when she had tried magic it often  screwed things up royally.  
Derek was a tired, overworked detective but he still was a good guy through and through.   The first few meetings between Sam and Derek were interesting to say the least.  They also got even MORE interesting as time went on.  
Sam's family members were definitely something else and not always something good.  Well, usually not good for anyone who tried to cross the witch families.  
There is plenty of action and dangers in the story also some romance and hot attraction too.  
 So questions are but some remain.  This book goes have an unexpected ending although I'm not sure that's the right word to use.  It leaves the reader at a cliffhanger of sorts.  You get to decide if it's enough for you or if you want to read on into the series.  I think that I want to read on in the next book.
