"I can't imagine being a layperson and having a card trick change everything I know about the laws of nature. What a fantastic, impossible moment you've created, and it happens right in their hands."
-Chad Long
It's time to bring your magic kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
MiniBook Pro is the most commercial trick in a generation.
Here's why:
- Techy magic
- Cool and relevant
- Eye-popping visual production
- Built-in funny presentation
- Easy to do - no difficult sleights
- HUGE surprise finish
- Devastatingly strong reactions - guaranteed
- Spectator keeps a souvenir of the magic moment
You start your act with the super-visual production of a mini laptop, then have some fun with the tiny computer, saying it can the find the spectator's card - but it fails. When your spectator looks back at the MiniBook Pro their brain melts as they realize that it has impossibly morphed into their signed card! A mind-blowing finish that creates screams, laughter and astonishment. Then you get to freeze the magic moment by giving them an impossible souvenir. This is the kind of magic that your spectators will talk about for years!
"I love this trick! I will burn your house down if you don't immediately send me one."
-Piff the Magic Dragon
"Great visual opener, fun interactive presentation and killer ending - what more could any performer want?!"
-Bill Abbott
What tricks can you think of where an object transforms in the spectator's own hands without them realizing? It's ok, I'll wait...no me either.
When they slowly realize what's happened it's a moment of pure surprise and delight.
"Ohhhh wait..f*ck you. I didn't see that coming tbh. You took two plots I love and made an incredibly fun routine. Love it!"
-Calen Morelli
"This routine is so smart. It's really everything you could possibly want from a close up effect."
-Ben Seidman
THE PRODUCTION
The king of digital magic, Marc Kerstein has also created a brilliant solution for us to allow you to pull the laptop from the spectator's own phone! You borrow any smart phone and ask the spectator to visit a website, you take the phone from them and pull the laptop from their phone. They will never discover the secret as it automatically cleans itself up.
"It is delightful to watch their expressions when one thing, in their heads, transforms into something else. This trick is a true reality twister."
-Tom Stone
"Starts as a trendy gag and flips into a hard hitting miracle that's hiding in plain sight on the palm of their hand. Great thinking!"
-Apollo Robbins

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best.
To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn!
The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL.
THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo.
The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters.
Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes.
I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book.
Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that.
I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice.
This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre.
I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them.
I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so
spoiler alert!!!!!!!
Tropes include:
Only one bed at the inn/bar
Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears
Lost royalty
The chosen one
Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk
Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples
Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked
Gathering intel at the inn/bar
FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well
There’s probably more but no need to list them all.
Good story and I would recommend!
