Title: Visions of Magic
Author: Regan Hastings
Date Read: March 2011
Number of Pages: 356
Why did you read it: It was the first book in a new series and it looked interesting.
What was it about: Every witch has a destined mate, an Eternal who will serve as her guardian and complete her powers. Once the first of the coven has awakened, the witches must race against time to join with their Eternals and protect the relics that will prevent the destruction of the world..
In the ten years since magic had reemerged, witches have become feared and pursued. For weeks Shea Jameson has been haunted by visions of fire. When she unintentionally preforms a spell in public, she becomes one of the hunted. Her only hope is Torin, a dangerously sensual man who claims to be her Eternal mate.
Torin says that the time of Shea's Awakening has come and that they must find an artifact hidden centuries ago-or else face the end of the world. As her power manifests, and danger and death draw near, Shea must decide whether to trust Torin and the passion and powers he brings her-or risk the destruction of everything she's ever known.
Who was your favorite Character: Rune (another Eternal)
How did you feel: I was a little disappointed that the author felt the need to state she was hiding who she really was at the back of the book. It said "blah blah is a pseudonyn of a USA Today bestselling author of more then a hundred romance books" I think that they should have let the book speak for itself instead of putting that. But It was a good book, kinda rushed the end so i could be done with it before i left my mothers so I could leave it with her. I enjoyed the book and look forward to the next one coming out in Oct. There was a lot of cloak and dagger going on but it was cool and kept the story fast paced. I disliked the villan which was how it's supposed to be. In all it was a good book. It reminded me a lot of Christine Feehan's carpathian novels with the whole two sides of the same soul but instead of vampires, it's witches and her Eternal. I did like the book a lot and suggested it to a few people.

Why did you read it: I saw it at the store awhile ago and thought it looked interesting. It reminded me of the old Dean Koontz books I used to read.
What was it about: Sixteen young women are dead, each injected with a mysterious illness on the night of a new moon and left in various underground basements or caverns. The murderer leaves no clues, except for one scrawled-in-red trademark. “Eve.” Special agent Daniel Clark has devoted his life to tracking and finding serial killers and Eve is proving an especially difficult case. Difficult, that is, until Clark and his colleagues find Eve’s latest victim still alive. In a race to save the girl’s life and potentially discover the killer’s idenity, Daniel finds himself in danger. A runin with Eve leaves Daniel Clinically dead for twenty minutes, only to survive but remember nothing of the incident. As Daniel attempts to recall he details before his attack, the killer strikes again, this time much closer home to all he holds dear. Danile takes his obsession to a dangerous new level. Soon enough he finds himself in a world were blurred lines between life and death leave him fighting for his very life.
How did you feel after reading it: The book was a good read! It didn't grab me and keep me like some books do but I wasn't completely bored with it either. I was a little disappointed that it ended the way it did. I mean it was a good book and good ending but it just didn’t seem to wrap up very well. It just.. ended.. there was no wrap up. Everyone lived happily ever after. Daniel and Heather got back together and so forth. We know Lori quit the FBI and went on to teach and Alex went to jail but other then that we don't know what happened to the other players. But in all it was a very good book and I think I am going to read more of his when I get the chance. My uncle Brian mentioned that his circle series was very good.
