The Magician

The Magician is an overly melodramatic story of good vs. evil, Satan vs – well, not God, but Good, anyway. The big problem with the book is that, as a horror story, it’s somewhat undefined and, as a romance, it’s somewhat rushed. As a result it doesn’t quite work either way. Kathleen Marlowe has only…
