Black Magic by Cherry Adair

 











3 Star

Sara Temple refuses to use magic since the death of her parents.  She blames herself for their deaths.  When her life is in danger she psychically calls out to her ex, Jackson Slater.  She hasn't seen him in years but he teleports in to save her life.  He never thought he would see his ex-fiancĂ©e again but won't leave her in danger either.  When they are find out they will need to work together to stop the world from ending they aren't happy.  Will they be able to work through their problems and save the world?

This was an interesting take on magic.  I enjoyed aspects of it but I had issues with Jackson being an idiot.  This book was released in 2010.  This next part is a spoiler as well as talking about abortion and miscarriage.  If you have issues with either of these please skip.  Just know Jackson was an idiot and needs a lesson in anatomy and medical issues women have. I also felt the bad guy was just meh and how they take him out was also meh.  If they were stronger together why split up for the confrontation?  I read it but I'll never pick it up again.

On to why he's an idiot When they were first together there was an oopsy pregnancy.  She freaked out because young and never been around kids and he was happy about the baby.  While he was gone she miscarried.  He gained access to her medical files where she had a D and C due to a spontaneous abortion.  This is the medical term for a miscarriage.  Instead of talking to her about what he read he jumped to the conclusion she got rid of his baby and so he hates her and never wants to see her again.  This all frustrated me.  That and she had an ectopic pregnancy which would not have been successful.
