This book is very reminiscent of the movie sky high. Where a kid comes from a family of superheroes, but doesn’t get their power and all the sudden they have it but troubles about. In the case of this book, however it’s not superheroes but magical entities, such as unicorns, wizards, demons, angels, etc. 

 

Overall, this book was a fun read. Depending on where you look both, including the back of this version as well as certain areas of good read, it says this is a series. However, having finished this book, there’s no place to go. In fact, this book spent so much time on the buildup that it rushes through the end and the explanation of all the magical folks and what’s going on. That is a drawback. It also at times feels like twilight fanfiction where you have faded mates, chosen ones my power gives you power, etc.. The first half of the book would be considered clean but there is a sex scene at about the 70% mark. It does play into the story but it also gives that faded mates Trope that is very heavily handed in this book. 

 

Now on to small things, first off a unicorn, and a Pegasus are not the same thing. Ggas are never mentioned in this book but the unicorns have wings. That annoys me plus there are times where the references seem odd. There are multiple Harry Potter references throughout the book which makes sense. However, differences, for example, like Fabio and romance, novel covers seem out of place. I know our main character is a book, loving nerd, and does read romance, but it’s still out of place. You can tell the age of the author in the story. Because even if you had a modern 17-year-old reading romance novels, they wouldn’t be reading 40-year-old romance novels most likely. and someone could say that that’s in the library that is an integral part of the story that needs to be replaced but most of the Fabio romance novel don’t exist in public libraries anymore. It dates the book and takes the reader out of the experience, there are other small things like this throughout the book that are a tad bit annoying. They’re not bad they just scream older adult writting for YA. 

 

Overall, I like this book but I didn’t love it. It took way too long to finish because there was so much buildup for not much to happen. I also think things that hinder it is it’s got the wrong title and the wrong cover. The current cover on my version is like looking through a hole in the tree to wood with leaves falling and the book is titled with discovery. According to Goodreads, the original title was Out of the Woods. That title is better, and does come to play at the very very end of the book but I don’t think either fit the book well. The cover is atrocious and seems like a indie published romance for middle-aged women to be more appealing to their demographic may be a more cartoon cover or a cover that has people on it. And maybe some of the animals maybe some as humans some as they are Characters. I could see something like the title with Iggy and I think it’s Gabby the demon in the angel sitting up and looking over Piper and Z. It needs to appeal more to why because this is very solidly. Why. It could be acceptable to young, but there is Sex scene that not specifically graphic does exist and is appropriate for the age and what’s happening in the book. So once again overall, I’d like this book but I didn’t love it.
