Publisher's Summary

"Twilight meets Harry Potter." Fans of magic, mystery and romance will fall in love with book number one in the Amazon Best-Selling Star-Crossed Series!

Sixteen-year-old Eden Matthews has been in and out of private schools for the last two years. She can't seem to stop herself from closing them down. Kingsley is her last chance to finish high school. Only Kingsley isn't like the other schools she's been to. The students are different. But, then again, so is she. After meeting Kiran Kendrick, the mysterious boy who seems to be the source of all her problems, she is suddenly in a world that feels more make-believe than reality.

When her best friend Lilly is taken away and Kiran's life is threatened, Eden finds herself right in the middle of an ancient war that is so much bigger than high school. She alone has to find a way to save her best friend and the boy who has captivated her heart.

Reckless Magic is an intricate story about adventure, magic and forbidden love. Eden Matthews is an unlikely heroine determined to save the world and be with her one, true love before it's too late.

Fantastic

Loved this first book in the Star crossed series. Wilful teen is sent to a school full of magic beings not knowing she is also one. Wow the things she does unintentionally

So much potential

Love the concept of this book. Could have been a five star rating. I’ve read the books and in my head the main character Eden is nowhere near as whiny as this narrator makes her out to be. There is way too much repetitive dialogue and frustrating stupidity from the main character, which I skimmed ahead when I read the book and I pressed forward 30 seconds on the audio. The idea for the books is great, I’d love to see it adapted to screen so they can cut the unnecessary stuff out.

Really bad but kind of addictive

Really poorly written with a main character who frustratingly needs everything explained multiple times (and so we get very repetitive explanations). I will listen to the next book though (but only because it's free) as I'm still interested in what happens next. If bad writing puts you off though, don't waste your time.

Tried twice

The most painful story to battle through, gave up in the end. Main character so dim witted, I’m surprised she was able to breathe. I can’t stress enough how bad it is. Good luck, maybe Mills and Boon readers can get through it, but, I doubt it.
