I think this author is really on to something. This book was an exciting coming of age story set in a magical world. When the youth fails to live up to their potential they're thrust into a dangerous environment meant to activate their powers. In the darkness they'll need to work together to fight innumerable enemies in hopes of escape.

I'm really looking forward to reading the next installment.

How could I not pick up a book about a group of people who call themselves the Alechemists and make the perfect cocktails to give themselves powers to fight off demons? This is a dream novel for everyone who always picks to play as the mage character. (Like yours truly) Also I would like to take the time to appreciate the fact that coffee baristas act as healers in this story. Thank you Mr. Paul Krueger and cheers.

A good action film with a popular cast. Not bad SFX, but the story gets a bit weird at times?! It kinda has a X men feel to it with the characters having different special powers, but it isn't as good as those films. It maybe could have done with a few more actions scenes, there is a lot of dialogue and scenes waiting around deciding what to do next. Worth a watch, if nothing special overall.

Betsy the barmaid is discovered to have psychic powers by a visiting American. Evan doesn't believe until Betsy shows up at his house with a vision of a dead body - a vision that turns out to be true. Does she truly have a gift? Another great read with a strong plot and charming characters.

I wanted to like Stohl's version of Carol Danvers... Wanted being key. This book (and the 'Mighty Captain Marvel' series) skews to a younger demographic, that I'm just not part of anymore. I know they want to get young readers, so it does accomplish that, I think.
Yet another rehash of a story that's been told over and over. How many times does Carol have to lose control of her damn powers? Nothing new here, move along.
