Subversive by Colleen Cowley
5.0
Oh. My. Gosh. This book.
I started “Subversive” yesterday evening, and I read the entire novel in two hours straight. I have so many feelings about this book! The humorous banter, the sizzling romance, and the incredible plot had me hooked from the start! The novel is told from the (third person) perspectives of both Beatrix Harper and Peter Blackwell. 33 year old Beatrix Harper’s life instantly changes when her old classmate Peter Blackwell, whom she hasn’t seen since she was 13, barges back into her life and reveals that he has returned to their small town to become the new Omnimancer. He immediately demands that she work for him as his assistant, stealing her from her previous employer, which annoys her off the bat. But as more details are revealed about Peter’s reappearance, and as Beatrix becomes more and more entangled with him, she starts questioning everything: from her loyalty to the League to the very truths of everything she’s ever been told about magic itself.
