Crux by Moira Rogers
* I received this ARC free from the author in exchange for an honest review*
Crux is the first book in the Southern Arcana series by Moira Rogers. The reader is slowly pulled into this new world as the intricate details are revealed. The story contains intrigue, magic, shifters and love.
Mackenzie has been on the run for the last few months from a psycho that wants her to have his babies. He turned her world upside and she just wants to get back to a normal life. She ends up in New Orleans and starts considering a permanent life there.
Jackson agrees to do a favor for Nicki and immediately realizes that the issue is a lot bigger than she suspected. He is drawn to Mackenzie and wants to help her but she doesnt trust anyone.
In the beginning, Mackenzies character is very timid; she stays shut within herself and tries not to draw attention to herself. She is scared to death and has to always look over her shoulder. She immediately feels at home with Nicki and her friends but doesnt want anything to happen to them because of her. She is drawn to Jackson from the first time she sees him talking to Nicki in the bar. Can he be her knight in shining armor?
Jackson wants Mackenzie and tries really hard to be a gentleman with her, even though she doesnt make it easy on him. He wants her trust more than anything and is determined to prove to her that he plans on sticking around. The sexual tension between these two runs throughout most of the book, making the love scenes well worth the wait.
One of the things I loved about this book was that even though it started out a little slow, it picked up pace and I was done before I knew it. The world had to be set, that couldnt be helped but it was handled in such a way that most of it blended right into the story.
The book also had a great cast of characters. I enjoyed meeting them all and cant wait to see what the future holds for them, especially Mahalia she deserves some happiness. The cast of secondary characters are interesting and complex, with secrets all their own.
Overall I enjoyed Crux and cant wait to read the next installment, Crossroads. I give Crux 3 ½ Flaming Hearts.
