I wasn't sure what to expect when Sharon Bayliss asked me to read Destruction (Book One of the December People Series). I was delightfully surprised by this book.
It's part Harry Potter for grown-ups, but a bit darker, and it has a lot more adult situations.
Bayliss builds a world of magic where there is no such thing as a school for training wizards. Wizards learn only what is passed down by their parents. There are dark wizards, and light wizards and magic is no quick fix.
Every spell works in ways you cannot predict. You may get your end result, but the route to it may have unexpected and disastrous consequences.
