Kepler's 2020 Project in the News:
Cassel is the only person in his family with no magic. In a world where
magic is illegal, he would be the only one who is not a criminal, except
that three years ago, he killed his best friend. He tries to survive
the guilt and nightmares by living behind the mask of an ordinary and
unexceptional life. He lies so well that he almost succeeds. And then
everything falls apart.
This book is fun. It's the kind of fun that makes you shiver and has a slicing edge. The magic here is not nice. It's dangerous and piles up secrets in complicated, irresistible layers. The characters step out of the book and into your head. They make you believe in the magic and the scary parts, and when they drag you off into their adventures, you won’t complain one bit.
(Note: This book is the first in a series called The Curse Workers.) |
