Helpful Score: 7

The 1st book in Shayla Black's new Doomsday Brethern series is pretty good. The story is mostly about the two main characters (Olivia & Marrock), but you can tell that she is setting up the entire series with the first book. It is well written, though sometimes predictable. It was kind of like Harry Potter for adults; witches and wizards fighting to save the magical world from the evil wizard Mathias. The secondary characters were intriguing, with some interesting conflicts. I gave it three stars, it was good start to the series that looks to have promise, but the love story at times to a back seat to the overall series story. Which is why I only gave it 3 stars, rather than 3.5 - 4 stars. Definitely worth your time, but probably won't be on the "keeper" bookshelf.
