Appraisal:
In this contemporary urban fantasy a disgraced law-enforcement agent, Wes
Rockville, is reassigned to a secret government organization. His first assignment
is to protect the young heiress of a billion-dollar cosmetic company, Morgan
Pendragon, and uncover their diabolical plan for world domination using
witchcraft.
Wes’s learning curve is steep, as he doesn’t believe in witches. The plot
and the characters are cleverly written. Morgan Pendragon is a feisty witch who
marches to her own tune and doesn’t rely heavily on her witchcraft unless she’s
in a pinch. She’s a fun character, however, she doesn’t trust Wes.
The battle scenes are epic and full of fast action that Mr. Okon
captures without a hitch. And there are many. Slowly Morgan begins to trust Wes
and she starts working with him. It’s easy to see a relationship developing.
The ending is satisfying and some family truths are revealed that I didn’t see
coming. All in all, an entertaining story.
FYI:
Only one F-bomb.
