I am definitely intrigued by "The Temptation of Magic". The most interesting parts of this book was learning about the Empyreal's history through art. What made me want to continue though was Nicole & Kyan's chemistry. I am a sucker for some romance. One thing that did annoy me was how our main characters kept getting bested by Lynch (the villain). It took me a little while to get into the world building, but I think this series has potential to be something good.

Hidden monsters hunt each other. This book is amazing. The magic is brutally efficient. The art is magical. The tension is delectable. And the MCs are never looking in the right place at the right time to see the truth, but they can’t get enough of each other. An EPIC YA paranormal romance.
