#BookReview: Magic and Medicine (Amber Legends #1) by @olena_nikitin

Synopsis: Danger doesn’t lurk in the shadows. It barges in and smacks you in the face. After years of working in the Emergency Department, Sara thought nothing could surprise her, but when the deceased victim of a stabbing opened his eyes and demanded his knife back, she knew her life had taken a bizarre turn.

Leszek had guarded the magic of the Nether before the first human set foot in his lands. His power was absolute, his authority unchallenged. The world might change, but even ruling from the shadow, no one, not even hardened criminals, dared to question his judgment.

When he was called to clean up the mess an unruly vampire caused in the hospital, Leszek barely contained his irritation when his power couldn’t make the stubborn doctor forget his existence. Instead, she looked him in the eye, challenging him to leave, and he listened.

Sara’s courage and audacity were intriguing, but her magic captivated him with its beauty. The magic she was unaware of. She may be human, but even humans have their uses, and Sara will soon learn there are consequences to capturing the undivided attention of the Tricity Mafia’s boss.

This fascinating woman might haunt his dreams, but Sara’s magic made her a target for a dangerous, emerging power, and Leszek has to decide if he will sacrifice her to save his domain.

My Review: Magic, romance, and fantasy blend together in a magnificent tale that I could not put down.  I loved every page and cannot wait for book two. 

Review

"Magic and Medicine" offers a unique blend of fantasy, mythology, and romance, with a dash of Slavic folklore. 

Magic and Medicine is a truly unique story that is part mob drama, part medical drama, and part urban fantasy with a heavy Eastern European flavour. Sara is an extremely believable emergency doctor with just the right amount of black humour, sarcasm, and grit. She largely tends to respond to challenges with sufficient backbone while acknowledging her lack of knowledge in the magical arena. However, her emotional responses are a bit more erratic. Leszek is a diminished god who now operates largely as a mob boss. He has extreme alpha-hole tendencies but clearly cares deeply for Sara. It is overall fun to watch as they learn to work together and fall in love.
