Wicked Enchantment is the first book of the Dark Magick series. Aislinn is a fae in the Seelie Court. She lives the life of luxury, spending her days shopping, gossiping and attending balls. Her life doesn't have much meaning and Aislinn feels like something is missing. She has special "powers" that she is afraid to use for fear of being exiled from the Rose Tower. She feels that her power is Unseelie in nature but is too afraid to take the next step to find out. Enters Gabriel, a half-incubus from the Black Tower. He's defecting from the Unseelie court and Aislinn is picked to be his guide. Aislinn does not trust Gabriel or his motives.Wicked Enchantment is about the fae, a subject I am not that familiar with. The book contains a glossary that I didn't discover until I finished the book. I was reading the e-book so I didn't immediately flip to the back like I normally do when I read paperbacks. I had a little trouble keeping the terminology straight and trying to pronounce the words. What drove me crazy is that many times, when referring to someone, the character would say the person's entire name. And each character had around 4-5 names. In the beginning the book didn't flow for me.Gabriel is a hot sexy hero. His motives are not genuine but it's easy to forgive him for the deceit because he redeems himself pretty quickly. It took my a while to warm up to Aislinn because I couldn't figure out what why she was appealing. She lived a spoiled and privileged life so in the beginning, she was a little on the shallow side. As she learns more about her past and her powers, we see a new, tougher Aislinn that I began to appreciate.Flutter Factor:It took me a while to warm up to the book. The pace was a little slow and I had problems with the terminology. But once the drama unfolded and the conflict was revealed, the pace sped up and the plot kept me enthralled. The sexual relationship between Gabriel and Aislinn was hot and if possible, I wanted even more. Check out my buddy Bells' Monday Smutty Goodness: Book Boyfriend Edition and you'll know what I'm talking about. All in all, Wicked Enchantment was a good book with great world building and character development. I look forward to reading the next book in this series, Cruel Enchantment.
