Rating- 9.8
Jarrod might be the most unluckiest person in the world. The closest people to him are always on the brink of death and possibly all the worst events happen to him. He just can't help it. But that soon changes when he meets the captivating Kate. Everything he knew suddenly didn't make sense and every little lie was beginning to unravel. Kate helps Jarrod find a way to stop all the misfortunes and the cataclysms. Together, they go back in time and fix what was meant to happen.
Old Magic was definitely a must read book because the plot of the book was definitely unique. The characters were very easy to relate to because the author wrote from both Jarrod and Kate's perspectives. However, when I was reading the book , I noticed that there were a few words misspelled. At least that's what I thought, but I found out that the author was Australian, and that's the way they spelled certain words. As I continued reading, I fell in love with both characters. I wanted to learn more about their backgrounds and more about their feelings towards each other, but other than that the book was perfect. When I was reading the book, I was reminded of the book Twilight. Jarrod and Kate's relationship reminded me of Edward and Bella's relationship and how they care deeply about each other. The book was amazing, but I still think the author should have written an epilogue, because I really would like to know more about Kate and Jarrod's future together and how they would face other challenges that would eventually come. But before I read the book, I thought it was going to be stupid and not unique at all, but the author proved me wrong. I absolutely felt bad that I judged the book even before I read it; but to tell you the truth, it's been a while since I've picked up a book that reached my standards. This book will make you realize and believe how strong true love is and how love could affect every single decision a person makes. I definitely recommend Old Magic.
It sounds like a great book to read! I like the way you worded your synopsis too! The way you related it to Twilight defiantly sparked my interest. Keep up the good work Dennise! :)
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds great! It sounds like the characters had a connection deeper than what can be found in many of the mediocre novels we see in popular fiction today. It is definitely on my list of books to read.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good book too read, and will be on my to read list. what do you mean when you said that "Jarrod and kate go back in time to fix what was meant to happen"? how are they supposed to know what is meant to happen?
