About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Cherry Adair is back with an action adventure with a paranormal twist. If you like bestselling authors Maya Banks and Heather Graham, you’ll love Black Magic. This steamy, thrill ride mixes wizards and a love that cannot be denied.

She hates using magic...

Ever since the death of her parents, Sara Temple has rejected her magical gifts. Then, in a moment of extreme danger, she unknowingly sends out a telepathic cry for help—to the one man she is convinced she never wants to see again.

He’s a powerful wizard…

Jackson Slater thought he was done forever with his ex-fiancée, but when he hears her desperate plea, he teleports halfway around the world to aid her in a situation where magic has gone suddenly, brutally wrong.

They’ve been chosen to save the world…

But while Sara and Jack remain convinced they are completely mismatched, the Wizard Council feels otherwise. A dark force is killing some of the world’s most influential wizards, and the ex-lovers have just proved their abilities are mysteriously amplified when they work together. But with the fate of the world at stake, will the violent emotions still simmering between them drive them farther apart…or bring them back into each other’s arms?

Ratings and reviews

In the beginning I wasn't sure if this would be a book I could get into, it just wasn't holding my attention well. After chapter two things picked up rather nicely and I enjoyed it very much. It was a fast paced novel that kept right on the edge of my seat...sometimes sweating in anticipation. I enjoyed Jack and Sara's story. Their hatred for one another mixed with their underlying love toward one another, it was fascinating to watch these two be pushed into a working relationship by the Wizard Council. This is definitely not a book you will want to share with your teens as it has some very mature content.

Not the best but it kept me hanging on until the end. Good suspense & I really liked the character Jack. Fun read.

Giant snakes remind me of a perverted basilisk from the harry potter world..I love magic!
