“There’s something more that pulls us together. No matter what happens, we always find a way. It’s something bigger than us. Bigger than everything.” Peter

Sarah Leigh was the daughter of an evil dark witch; she returned to her home after five years for the funeral of her grandmother. She was angry at her grandmother for casting her away from her home and family five years ago but she still loved her and wanted to be there for a proper burial. Raven’s Cove was ruled by her family; it was her home and where she grew up as a member of the black witches and dark magic. However; Sarah always fought the darkness and try to do what was right embracing the light and never let her darkness take over her. Her mother was jealous of her because apparently Sarah’s powers were unique and stronger than hers.

“I had always wanted light where there was only dark. I was a freak of my coven, of my family.” Sarah

Peter has been invisible for ten years as a punishment for falling in love with the wrong girl. He never expected what his future was going to be; he was bitter and angry but he couldn’t stop his love for her for “Sarah”. The minute he met her; he knew he would do anything to be with her at any cost but he never imagine that he would be forgotten and imprisoned forever. No one could hear him, see him, or feel him. He was son of the white witches the good power; therefore Sarah and Peter couldn’t be together because their magic combined will be the death of everyone. As Sarah was darkness Peter was light but the more Peter was with Sarah the more he would embrace the darkness in him which was the opposite of Sarah.

“My love for her was eternal, I lived and breathed my love for her, but the blackness inside me was choking my soul.” Peter

Sarah comes back to her grandmother’s home and meets Peter there; when she was cast away from her Coven her grandmother made sure that she had no memory of Peter and what he meant to her. However; the intensity of their love couldn’t be stopped. She is able to see Peter, hear him and even feel him. She can’t understand why she feels so much when she sees into his eyes but she doesn’t care he makes her feel complete and whole; something she had lost when she was away. Peter tries to hurt her with his words to push her away because he feels hopeless, no matter what he knows they could never be together and no one could ever help him get out of his imprisoned life, especially now that the only person that was able to do it is now dead.

“We were magnets, and we were drawn to one another…her memories may be stolen, but her feelings lived on.” Peter

However; the more time Sarah and Peter spend together before her grandma’s funeral the more she feels for him and feels her heart beat when she’s with him. She knows she has to save him and release that spell that was cast on him so he can be set Free regardless of the consequences. Peter doesn’t want her to try because he knows her family will kill her and he rather live invisible and lonely than to have her dead.

“Separated, we were opposing forces, but together we were two pieces of the same puzzle, united. Together our magic had the potential to destroy everything.” Sarah

“We were the opposite in every way. We were each other’s antonym; we were the anomalies of our family bloodlines, of our covens.” Peter

I was such a nervous wreck while reading this book closer to the end because somehow Sarah managed to get some of her grandmother’s magic without the other witches noticing it and by doing so she would be able to read her spells and set Peter free and not only did she wanted to set him free she knew she belonged with him. When the witches found out omg I was freaking out the entire time. The suspense was driving me mad the action on this part of the book was amazing. There was no sex on this book but the chemistry and the desperation of Peter and Sarah’s feelings and EPIC love hit me hard and I fell for both of these characters hard. I love them so much and the ending left me feeling like I wanted to hit something. I need more; I can’t stand it I need book two like yesterday. This author gives you such an amazing and beautiful romantic story but with a bit of suspense and secrets and you can’t help just reading this in one setting and wanting more. If you like a good soul mate romantic and tragic story you need to read this book. It’s defiantly an absolutely epic forbidden love story that gives you so much feels and leaves you wanting so much more. I will be stalking this author for the next installment in the amazing series.

These songs are perfect for this book:
No Air by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown
Bring me to life by Evanescene
First time ever saw your face by Matt Cardle
No one by Alicia Keys

Can a good witch go bad, can a bad witch go good? Not sure if anyone has ever asked that question before, which is why Claire Riley did. Everyone has felt their soulmate is out there, the person that is the ying to their yang, the person who completes you. In two warring Covens, one destined to be light, the other destined to be dark, when the children who are to be the leaders one day decide they are attracted to everything they are not, they could destroy everything. In Peter and Sarah we see ...more

"Leave my loneliness unbroken" -- This quote, from an all-time favorite Poe piece, perfectly embodies the core of Twisted Magic. To me, it means that the only thing that could possibly be worse than constant loneliness and lovelessness is being shown a chance at love and togetherness and to have that chance not come to reality. Hope can hurt more than accepting solitude. Riley's characters in Twisted Magic (Raven's Cove Book One) are aching, desperate, longing for love and deep connection. This ...more

When I started this book I was a bit apprehensive, I wasn't sure it would be something I'd enjoy reading. Though I decided to give it a go as the book's written by one of my favourite authors.

I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest, I heard this was romance heavy and that's so far away from the books I would read. This how ever struck a balance, yes the foundation of the book was the love/romance between the two lead characters but it also dealt with loss, suffering, hate and a feeling of use ...more

I thoroughly enjoyed this witchy book. Claire C Riley again offers us a clear view into this world and it's characters. A love story with horror elements, well-executed storytelling that draws you right into things immediately, picking sides right away, and cheering for them from the edge of my seat. I cannot wait for the continuation of this series! ...more

Twisted magic, a new novella series by Claire C. Riley, comes in just the nick of time for Halloween!! I loved this book for so many different reasons! I love Riley's story telling abilities in every book she has ever written, and this book doesn't fall short of that! This is something different than what she normally writes, she veered from the all the zombies and wrote a masterful piece of witchery! This book truly shows that Claire C. Riley can write about virtually anything, and it be just ...more

FGMAMTC Blog Review + Excerpt

Twisted Magic is a mysterious PNR about a witch outcast from her coven. The story begins with her returning to the homeland of her people for the funeral of her grandmother.

Right away the reader can tell that Sarah is trying to work something out in her head. Then a man appears from nowhere behaving strangely. Slowly Sarah pieces the puzzle together while trying to keep safe from the other witches.

The rhythm to this story is much like that first huge hill ...more

I knew when I saw this magical cover that I had to read this novella. And then when I read the blurb--black magic, white witch--I was doubly sure Twisted Magic was going on my immediate to-read list.

I'm not a huge fan of romance, but I was intrigued by the forbidden love in this story, and why both Sarah's and Peter's covens felt their love was detrimental. Claire tells Sarah and Peter's stories with so much emotion. I felt all of the love, anguish, and hopelessness.

Most of all, I love all of th ...more

Sarah, a dark witch by birth, a white witch at heart. She has returned to bury her grandmother after being banished from the coven years before. This is a story of her struggles with her magic, the past, her mother and a mysterious man. Claire writes in a way that keeps you engulfed in the story, you cannot break away. I read this in one sitting. Excited for Book 2. Thank you Claire.
