I chose Frederick Maryland for a number of reasons. I liked the geography. It was still pretty rural but close enough to Washington and the Maryland suburbs to the East. To the South, North and West were mountains, rivers, wilderness, Gettysburg, Harpers Ferry, Antietam…beautiful things all very close by. And it is still quite beautiful despite the massive growth it has experienced in the last few decades.

The Darkest Magic by Morgan Rhodes Book Review
The Darkest Magic by Morgan Rhodes may produce Maddox, one of her darker characters in her repertoire, but the book delivers a shining bright touch of magic for its readers. Here’s the synopsis below:
In the second installment of New York Times bestselling author Morgan Rhodes’s highly acclaimed Falling Kingdoms spin-off series, danger looms and the mystery deepens as two warring evils vie for possession of one elusive, powerful book.
Modern-day Toronto: Sisters Crystal and Becca Hatcher are reunited after reclaiming the Bronze Codex and narrowly escaping death. They have no one to trust but each other, and the only thing keeping them safe is the book that sent Becca’s spirit to Ancient Mytica–the same book that their enemies would kill them for.
Ancient Mytica: Maddox grapples to keep his newly discovered powers under control, while the ruthless goddess Valoria hunts him down.
Modern-day Toronto: Farrell embraces his dark side as he unwittingly falls further under the spell of Markus, the mastermind leader of the nefarious Hawkspear Society, who will stop at nothing to find Crys and Becca–and the remarkable book in their possession.
This book excels in areas the previous book, A Book of Spirits and Thieves needed to improve on. One of the main areas being character development. Rhodes solidly builds on characters like Crys, Becca, Ferrel, and Maddox, and introduces some intriguing and fun characters like Al and the Goddess Cleiona.
The premise of this book is basically Crys and Becca, alongside their mom Julia and aunt Jacky, begin to try and fight against the evil Marcus. However a long the way we see a new villain arise by the name of Damen, the God of chaos and destruction, and our cast is forced to work with Marcus in order to try to bring about Damen’s demise. Becca gets to go back to Mytica and see Maddox, but this time on a more serious note. Marcus sends her there in order to appeal to an immortal for help. The only two that are prominent in Mytica are Goddesses Valoria and Cleiona, enemy sisters. In Mytica throughout the story we see Valoria being intrusively evil, ordering executions, Al’s in particular, who happened to be her most devoted scribe. We also see her on the hunt to find Maddox. Maddox revived Al’s severed head and he teams up with Maddox and Barnabas in order to find a way to bring down Valoria.
Maddox truly comes into his own and into his power in this book. Over the course of the book he used what is called his “death” magic, and we see some dark changes in him towards the end of the book. Barnabas tells Maddox not to use his power because it will eventually destroy his soul. Towards the end of the book however, due to a very heart palpitating event, Maddox unleashing his restraints on his power and he seems to take a turn down the wrong path. It’s too early to judge what will happen yet with him, but there were some MAJOR foreshadowing clues that Maddox is either another Damen or is Damen somehow. They have a lot of the same qualities, which is scary. Hopefully Becca can keep him from going that far, but it might already be too late.
Ferrel was such a pleasure to read. A bad boy who loves to completely detach himself from human qualities, begins to fall in love with Crys. And Crys is a girl who normally is the quiet quirky girl who no one takes note of, but she burst out of her shell and finds a powerful voice in this book. The tug of war between Farrel and Crys was very entertaining to read. Farrel being Marcus’ right hand man, imbued with powers through several marks that were given to him by Marcus and his magical dagger, and Crys trying to protect and get back her sister Becca after she’s taken, plays up to be a very major page-turner. Both characters don’t realize they are falling for the other because they are trying so hard not to, but with each interaction we see them peel layer upon layer off of eachother. Until finally, something magical happens.
The Darkest Magic is now easily one of Morgan Rhodes best books. It built on A Book of Spirits and Thieves by having more action, bigger reveals and plot twists, complex but sensical character development, and a conclusion that will have you salivating for more. Morgan Rhodes has solidified the success of this Falling Kingdoms spin-off series with this new installment, and she forces her readers to see it as a worthy contender alongside her original series. Don’t worry Rhodes, this series now has my undivided attention. I will be reading and waiting, not patiently I may add, for the next book to this spin-off series.
If you haven’t read any of the Falling Kingdom books, please do. The next installment will be out this fall. And also pick up book one of this new series which adds to the story of the original series, A Book of Spirits and Thieves. You won’t regret it.

Reviews for "Indulge in Luxury at Magic Looks Salon"
1. Emma - 1 star
I had a terrible experience at Magic Lookss Salon. The hairstylist completely messed up my haircut and made it look uneven and choppy. She didn't listen to my requests and just did whatever she wanted. The salon was also very unclean and smelled like chemicals. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
2. Mike - 2 stars
I was disappointed with the service at Magic Lookss Salon. The staff was not friendly or welcoming, and it seemed like they were rushing through each appointment. My hair color ended up turning out much darker than I wanted, despite clearly explaining my desired shade. The overall experience was mediocre, and I won't be returning.
3. Sarah - 1 star
Magic Lookss Salon was a complete waste of my time and money. The hairdresser was unprofessional and didn't seem to have any experience. She struggled to style my hair and ended up burning my scalp with the hot tools. The salon also lacked a clean and organized atmosphere. I left feeling frustrated and regretful for choosing this place.
4. John - 2 stars
I was unsatisfied with my visit to Magic Lookss Salon. Despite showing the hairstylist a picture of the hairstyle I wanted, she couldn't recreate it and left my hair looking nothing like I had hoped. The salon was also quite noisy, which made it difficult to relax and enjoy the experience. I won't be returning to this salon in the future.
