Strange Magic by Suzana Thompson

This was a first on two accounts. I've never read anything by the author previously or heard the narrator. I wasn't disappointed. Strange Magic was a pleasure!



My thoughts:
Susannah has the largest crush on a young man until another walks into the picture. At first she won't admit it until she finds they have something unique in common - magic. She and Duncan can read peoples' thoughts and communicate with each other telepathically. Through this link they grow closer until Duncan's ex-girlfriend moves to town and inserts herself into the picture.

The story has a steady pacing and some fairly suspenseful parts. The story is one part romance one part urban fantasy. The author dos a good job dragging the reader along as Duncan and Susannah grow closer then splitting them apart. It only made me want them together more. She also does a great job at depicting high school life and woes and building characterization.

This was my first time listening to a book narrated by Sarah Sampino. She does a great job with pacing,voices and getting the reader into the characters. I'll happily listen to another story she's narrated.


This story is appropriate for young adult s well as adults like me who enjoy the YA genre. It's also bound to be a favorite among readers who enjoy romance. I'm hoping for a book 2!
