Review

Claimed by Magic is the third installment to the Hunter Chronicles and has taken this series to the next level for me. New characters and new revelations are made. Eric still pines for Jasmine and Jasmine is still broken hearted. But we learn so much about them and Twitch.

Jasmine is jobless and is unsure of her next move. She has a broken heart. She also has another issue that she will have to face for some time to come thanks to Eric. Jasmine is tough and definitely not helpless. She doesn’t even know what she is capable of yet.

Eric is facing a crisis of his own. He hasn’t had feelings for a long time and now he is finding out that Jasmine has started to warm is frozen heart. He is having trouble processing this so he tries to put distance between them. In book three, Eric is forced to observe Jasmine and really see her for who she is and that makes him have even more feelings for her.

In Claimed by Magic, we get to know Twitch even better. Twitch takes Jasmine back home with him to Avalon. We see his world and the place he has in it. He is an outcast and feels awkward except around the people he loves most. In this installment, you get to know how Twitch became they way he is today. We also learn who his is and what he’s capable of.

Avalon also becomes a character in this story. There are many facets of life on this magical island. It has a balance where all the different magical houses have equal power. Someone wants to upset this balance and take control of the island for themselves which could erupt into a war which would bleed over into the non-magical world.

Claimed by Magic is another great installment to The Hunter Chronicles series. Claire Marta has a wonderful way of making this magical world visual and modernizing old tales. There is so much that happens in this book, I can’t give away any more without giving away the revelations that are made throughout this story. This book was definitely one that I was looking forward to and it did not disappoint. I love the fact that Jasmine is so strong and that Eric has to understand who she is. I look forward to the next adventure in The Hunter Chronicles.
