“Allie Therin built a world that came alive and flew off the pages.” —Gay Book Reviews


New York, 1925

Arthur Kenzie is on a mission: to destroy the powerful supernatural relic that threatens Manhattan—and all the nonmagical minds in the world. So far his search has been fruitless. All it has done is keep him from the man he loves. But he’ll do anything to keep Rory safe and free, even if that means leaving him behind.

Psychometric Rory Brodigan knows his uncontrolled magic is a liability, but he’s determined to gain power over it. He can take care of himself—and maybe even Arthur, too, if Arthur will let him. An auction at the Paris world’s fair offers the perfect opportunity to destroy the relic, if a group of power-hungry supernaturals don’t destroy Rory and Arthur first.

As the magical world converges on Paris, Arthur and Rory have to decide who they can trust. Guessing wrong could spell destruction for their bond—and for the world as they know it.

Ratings and reviews

Wonderstruck by Allie Therin Magic in Manhattan #3 1925 New York with paranormal and mundane persons working together to save the world – loved it! This is definitely a book that should be read as a series and a series I thoroughly enjoyed and recommend! What I liked: * Rory: psychometric, barely twenty-one, poor, hard-working, sweet, kind, tough, charming, jealous, perfect for Arthur * Arthur: mundane, interested in magic, early thirties, wealthy, military veteran, generous, kind, lethal when necessary, a good man, perfect for Rory * The relationship between Rory and Arthur * The magic component of the story and how it all comes together * The supporting characters (some may need stories of their own) * The writing, plot, and the way it all came together * The friendships and team feeling of how they all worked together * The twists and turns – there were a few I did not see coming * That evil was eventually thwarted * The feel-good ending that made me believe in happily ever after. What I did not like: * Baron Keppler and his henchmen…especially the puppeteer… * Being reminded of how wicked Rory’s father was and how hard it must have been for orphans * The other evil people that showed up here and there. * Saying goodbye to characters I grew to know and love Did I enjoy this book? Definitely! Would I read more by this author? Without a doubt!
