The connection these two have leap off the page. The interactions between Allie and Junior are irresistible.

Junior is the local bad boy who was once a member of a gang and is trying hard to right his many wrongs and stay out of trouble. Her mother Faye is the type you just want to shake some common sense into and tell to grow up. Allie is a typical girl who just wants a normal life but with a mother like Faye that’s never going to happen. They are the type you can love ‘em or hate ‘em. The characters are for the most part are pretty well developed. Then she trusted in to an age old battle of good versus evil only she’s not sure who she can trust.

All the sudden Allie’s world is turned upside down and filled with an ancient prophesy. It seems to somehow amplify her powers unfortunately, there are others who also want it. She's given a beautiful necklace buy an eccentric almost neighbor/mentor to have know all along who she is. However, when she first makes the discovery she's not all thrilled and would like this new power to go away. It a really great read about fifteen year old, as she discovers she can move things with her mind. Moonstone introduces the readers to Allie. Brothers tries but in the end fails at setting the rules for the many magical talents Allie now holds. Allie progresses through several stages in this installment from discovery, rejection and ultimately acceptance of her new found powers. Where there any flaws? Yes, but that is just something I have come to be expected of self published books. The story starts a little strange but as you progress through the chapters it becomes more exciting and suspenseful. However, I enjoyed the touch of the moonstone necklace the model wore.įor Brothers first attempt she did pretty good job. The model used for Allie was not what I pictured in my head. So I didn’t get to peek a glimpse of the cover until after I finished the first. I actually received all four of Marilee Brothers’ books in her Unbidden Magic Series.
