An exciting story of magic, Shift by Bdicocco is an amusing novel set in modern day New York. Descriptions of spells and amazing control of language, both English and Latin, really bring this story to life. The different points of views the story includes contrast the world of magic and the world of the "non-ers" in perfect harmony. Or maybe more like awesome discord. Either way, the collision of two worlds is quite impressive, as is the realism of the characters. Well written, well characterized, and comedic. What better combination is there? It's a quick read with an amazing flow that makes you crave more.

Addictive?

Quite possibly!

Description:

Kayden Lee is a girl from New Jersey with newly divorced parents, absent friends, and an annoyingly perfect cousin staying with her for an entire summer.

Blaze Merg is a wizard... but not a particularly good one. He's still surprised that he managed to graduate from school, and finding a job has proved to be a lot more difficult than expected.Their lives become intertwined just as the magical world erupts into chaos.

Spells begin failing, people start dying, and the two are magically bound together against their will. As the magical community struggles to survive without magic, Blaze and Kayden try to find a way to break the spell that has physically bound them together. But as they navigate through magical politics, they must also control their growing attraction to one another, which may just be another unfortunate side effect of their spell gone wrong.
