Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5
When Killian Barth, history professor, meets Blaine Genneau, quantum physicist, they ignite their own big bang. But Killian can’t pursue a physics professor—or a human. As the most powerful male witch in ten generations, Killian must bolster his dying race by reproducing—despite the fact that he’s gay.
Even a fling with Blaine is out of the question, because Killian has been told sex with humans drains his power. But if that’s true, why can young human Jimmy Janx dissolve spoons with the power of his mind? If Killian can sort through the lies he’s been fed, he’ll still face his biggest obstacle—convincing rational scientist Blaine to believe in magic.
With his ancient and powerful cat familiar, Aloysius, on his shoulder, Killian brings the lightning against deceit and greed to save Blaine from danger and prove love is the greatest power of them all.
I have wanted to read this story for awhile now, but kept putting it off. When I saw it was being re-published I jumped at the chance to read it and I loved it as much as I thought I would. Killian has resigned himself to a life of duty to save his race, but knows he will never be happy with a woman.
Killian is drawn to Blaine from the first time they meet, but tries to deny it. Blaine gets confused with Killian’s hot and cold actions, but isn’t easily deterred. With everything going on around them it seems they may not have to stay apart forever.
In this story I could feel how frustrated and desperate Killian felt about his situation. The more he learns about Jimmy the more confused he becomes about what he has been taught about witches and humans. Killian becomes so desperate for a real connection with someone he gives in to his feeling for Blaine, but the result isn’t what he thinks will happen. Jimmy is connected to Killian much more than just student and teacher and seeing the struggles of Jimmy and other characters in this story helps understanding the setting a bit more. I enjoyed all of the characters and can’t wait to see them in more stories in this series.
Cover art by Reese Dante is wonderful and gives us a great visual of Killian.
