5.0

"Two skulls. 
Two torsos. 
Gutted and tossed.         
The Magic Man drained them of all that they were. Their beauty, their light, their purpose, gone, forever."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
All the skulls and all the stars for my new favourite series! If I thought I loved first book, Pain Eater by LaShane Arnett, then I can't say the same about the Magic Man because I LOVED IT SO MUCH MORE!
It's mysterious, dark, full with light and love among the layers of evil. This book is about heartless and powerful creature taking kind and loving people from their families, just so he can have some fun and then drain them from their light and leave their lifeless bodies when he's done taking.
But this book is also about a Pain Eater, Sadie, who is the narrator and was a fresh breath from all the dark thoughts that we have to endure with the magic man. I loved Sadie and her kindness, who always helps others whenever she can, and I hated the Magic Man with his brutal and remorseless acts towards animals and humans, and still I couldn't get enough of him, he was twisted and perverted, always hurting and enjoying the pain he inflicted. I wanted to know more about him, what made him the way he was, why would he only use his powers for cruelty and never for something good. This book is way darker than Pain Eater was, and it also has more answers and while we still were in dark about most of the book, we got to find out the truth about the magic man alongside Sadie and Adrian.
I love how every power was depicted, I kept imagining the books as movies, they will make really good supernatural mysteries and I hope it happens, because I would love to see this beautiful and twisted story on the big screen. 
I will be manifesting it into existence. I will also manifest the third book because I need more, I'm hungry for more Pain Eater and Magic Man! 
I started bookstagram years ago because of the series with similar supernatural powers and good vs. evil, and I've been looking for more books like this and I am so grateful that I found it.
