D'Anu witch Silver Ashcroft knows she walks a perilous line by practicing gray magic. But it's the only way to protect herself from the evil that surrounds her. After the horrors she has witnessed, Silver thinks she is ready for anything...until the most intensely arousing being she has ever encountered swiftly - and sensuously - proves her wrong...Hawk is a Tuatha D'Danann warrior - powerful beings descended from the Fae. And for him duty has always come before pleasure. Then, clad only in moonlight, Silver Ashcroft welcomes him to her city of San Francisco and makes his blood sing with a passion beyond compare. She is the embodiment of fantasies he never knew he had, but the terrifying reality of his mission lurks in every shadow...Only the strongest will survive the upcoming battle, and the forces of darkness are more powerful than ever. Now, warrior and witch must trust in their hearts above all else - for to claim victory, they first must claim each other...

I just didn't like this book. It feels like a real slog to get through - I have about 100 pages to go, and it's mostly stubbornness keeping me going - I don't care about any of the characters, the impending invasion of San Francisco or how the story is going to end...it's just not gripping me.
I think the main problem is that it sort of jumps straight into the action - which is good, but then never goes back and gives you any background. I checked 3 times to ensure I'd got the first in the series, and only actually believed it when I saw the blurb on the back mentioned it was a first book.
This is definitely not a debut novel, however, and the writing is confident and accomplished...I just think, considering the book is 440 pages long, a couple of pages could have been devoted to world-building.
The sex is very good and well-written. If the author had either cut the story down a bit (the plot is strangely slow-paced) or added more detail, it would have been much, much better, but as it is, I'm not going to bother with the other books in the series.
It's not a bad book, and it's probably my sound-bite generation-ness showing through, but for a book this long, I need to care about the characters, and I've just not got this from the author.

Forbidden Magic was a surprisingly good read. Although I dont really like witchcraft novels, this one kept me glued. Fans of Kenyon or Cole would like Forbidden Magic.
McCray's narrative is simple, not unnecessarily decorative, but to the point. Silver and Hawk, her 2 main characters, grow into you slowly but surely. They have conflicing facets, weaknesses and strengths and suprises. The way McCray goes into Silver's relationship with her parents, for example, is a real gem, so real and funny.
Set in San Francisco, her action scenes are fast and furious and her erotic scenes make you blush. I read lots of paranormal romance, but McCray's erotica is dark, seductive and hard-core- bordering to S&M. They trully stand out compared to the majority of para-romance sex scenes. Not for the faint hearted romance readers!
