Magic Portal by DM Fike

5.0

After the loss of her parents, Avalon Benton is homeless, living in her car at the age of 18. When a beggar starts to follow her, Avalon becomes nervous, and decides to sleep in a closet at the amusement park where she works. There, she finds a surprisingly lifelike statue of a fairy, which comes to life after an incident where Avalon discovers that she herself has powers. On her quest for answers, she teams up with Kay the fairy and the beggar, who turns out to be a gremlin named Nobody, and his companion Vimp. But can she truly trust any of them?

This was an amazing first book in what will become a trilogy! The plot was very well written, with twists I was not expecting. The banter was hilarious, and the characters were relatable and fun to read about. I hope to read book 2, and I definitely recommend this book!

I received a free copy of this book from the author via booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
