Excerpt from Luke & Nova Vs. The World

Dear Diary,
We were one hour away from fulfilling our fifteen-year-old dream. One hour.
But then, they came. They killed. They took a part of my soul prisoner by putting Luke into a coma.
Remember how, every time one of us gets in trouble with The World, the other comes to the rescue?
Well, this time, Luke isn’t going to be there to fend off the bullies and the psychos who think my body is theirs to take. This time, Luke isn’t going to be there to wrap his arms around me while his father—my uncle—beats us bloody. This time, Luke isn’t going to be there…period.
For the first time in my life, I’m going to be alone. I’m going to have to fight against The World all by myself.
But mark my words, dear diary: I’m going to win.
—Nova Vaughn

I used to be just a Mississippi girl with a dream bigger than the universe. I had no idea about the dangerous creatures that lurk in the darkest corners of the streets, until I come face to face with one.
When my cousin Luke gets poisoned by a demonic vampire and falls into a coma, the Senior Order of Magic gives me a chance to both avenge him, and bring him back. I don’t think twice. I take it.
But I had no idea that I’d have to sell my soul and become something else in order to save Luke.
And when I do, something tells me that it’s going to be too late to save myself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Complex blending of magic and technology
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2018
D.N. Hoxa has created a complex and interesting world in the opening for her new Reverse Magic series, Nova Unchained.

Nova Unchained starts with what is an all too familiar event these days, a club shooting. Nova, and her cousin Luke, have finally saved enough and are going to escape. It's been Luke and Nova vs the world for as long as Nova can remember. So Nova loses her mind a little bit when senseless violence breaks out in the club where they work.

And that's the most normal thing that happens. That act of violence thrusts Nova into a world she didn't know existed and now has to figure out how to navigate. All she wants to do is save Luke, and instead she finds the Senior Order of Magic. Or rather, they find her.

Hoxa's world is an interesting mix of magic and technology. She's taken well known themes and put her own stamp on them. What I like the most, is that Hoxa created a whole cannon, with it's own rules and quirks. Then she revealed it through Nova's eyes and experiences is way that made it easy to understand and follow along.

Hoxa kept me on the edge of my seat with action and plot twists I didn't see coming. I can't wait to see where she takes us next!

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a great start for a series but the characters didn't captivate ...
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2018
SPOILER ALERT - I wish I could give half stars on Amazon cause I rate it a 3.5.

This is a great start for a series but the characters didn't captivate me. I liked the beginning and the end but the middle was kinda slow for me. This is a cliffhanger or a weak ending however you want to take it but ****SPOILER ALERT**** she ends up in New York in some institution that she was drugged and taken too and she's not allowed to talk to her "team". There with her black bag in a white room where you get the impression that she will be studied as a lab specimen. I think I'll read the next one because it is an interesting idea that I haven't read before and I can think of many ways that the author could build off this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Thoroughly enjoyed this book
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2018
Okay, I received a free ARC in exchange for my open and honest review of this new book by D.N. Hoxa, and as you can see from the 5 star rating; I Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Our leading lady, Nova is a young woman raised by her uncle with only her Cousin Luke there to pretty much be Big Brother/protector. Life with the uncle is hard, the kids are constantly yelled at, beaten; & at as young as 6, forced to work and not complain when dear ol' uncle takes their hard earned money. However its all about to change....for the better they hope because they finally have enough money to leave and never look back! Only, in the Blink of an eye all their dreams get shattered when the bar they work together at is suddenly under attack; attack from strange men with coldish skin that feels almost hard as steel, and, their leader has hold of Luke! In a blink the leader she calls "Red Tie" due to his red tie has just gone from standing next to her cousin to in front of Nova, teeth sharp, smile almost predatorial and in one swift motion instead of killing her as she thought, he bites her cousin's neck. This ends up setting off a chain of events from her successfully killing one of Red Tie's own men to Nova being taken into "custody" by an Impari Mage who believes she herself is a latent Impari because humans can't see the speed nor physical changes that make Impari what they are. **Note: Impari is the term the author used to classify non-humans. The subspecies are: Mage, Vampire, Demons, Pixie, Shifter, Changeling's & Salamanders (I think there's another but can't remember right now). They call the guy Nova kept calling Red Tie a Dvamp because he is in fact stronger than regular Vampires and it means Demonic Vampire.** Nova is given several "Tests" to figure out her classification only she seems to fail to pass them and is told she isn't what they thought she was and that she couldn't join the team to catch a Dvamp and possibly save her cousins life. Frustrated she begs them to do a procedure that's highly dangerous to change her into a Salamander, a fire elemental being. Reluctantly Ross the leader of the group who had brought her and her cousin in after the attack at the bar agrees and the procedure is done, only something goes wrong! Instead of Fire, Ice comes from Nova's body and things just keep getting crazier for her from there! To find out, I suggest you grab your own copy of this book and read for yourself! To me, the way the author described how Nova saw Red Tie and his men move when she would Blink, reminded me a lot of the Doctor Who episode Blink! with the weeping/screaming stone Angels (you need to have seen it IE be a "Whovian" to understand what I'm talking about and imo it was one of my favorite episodes cause those stone Angels are creepy!! Lol). Between that and just that the book was well written, nicely descriptive and filled with action ( with a hint to potential romance between Nova and Nash the Salamander Mage who trains her and discovers what her magical gift is and how to use it to their advantage), it has left me excited to find out what happens next with Nova, her cousin Luke; Nash, Ross and the rest of the "team". I definitely will be watching for book 2!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2018
Note: I received a eARC of this book in exchange for leaving a review.

I really enjoyed this story. It was exciting, non-stop action. There was no real romance, which was a refreshing change of pace for the genre! No real cliffhanger, but there was also no epilogue. I liked the main character, she was not a Mary Sue, and she didn't make stupid choices just to push along the story. I felt that many of the characters were fleshed out, not just 2d cut outs. The editing was professional. I gave this 4 stars instead of 5, because while it was exciting, there could have been more to it. Several of the plot twists were telegraphed, and I felt like the ending could have been stronger. I said that it wasn't a cliffhanger, and it wasn't, but it was pretty darn close, and I prefer stories that end properly, and leave you wanting the next story that way. Right after I read it, I probably would have given it a 5, but after a couple days reflection.. I would gladly read something else by this author, and will likely read the next in the series, if I remember when it comes out.

I did not dislike it but not sure I like it much. The main character is twenty yet comes across as a bratty teen. But she may grow on me.
