Classic fairy-tale settings, compelling mysteries and a charismatic cast of characters make Something Close to Magic an entertaining, fast-paced read, and its ending strikes the perfect balance between satisfaction and the promise of more adventures. There was a lot to like about this book, but for me, who often looks to character first in my enjoyment, I really think Mills knocked it out of the park.
She turned her gaze towards it and gasped in amazement. Before her stood a magnificent unicorn, its pure white coat glistening in the fading sunlight. The unicorn had a majestic presence, exuding an aura of wisdom and grace.
