URBAN FANTASY ROMANCE SERIES
"A scar will always mark you, but never let it define you."
Book 1

Zoë Merrick lived an ordinary life until late one night, she was brutally attacked and left for dead.

She survived, saved by a stranger who witnessed her undergo a physical transformation. That's not the only thing that's different. Zoë is unable to control an unexplainable energy coursing through her body.

Justus De Gradi is a man who can teach her that control. He's handsome, arrogant, and not entirely human. He reveals that she is a Mage - an immortal made of light, not magic. She must now make a choice: Rebuild her life in the human world with the man who saved her, or live with Justus and learn how to use her extraordinary gifts. Justus has sworn an oath to protect her life, but can he guard her from the one man who has a right to claim it?

Zoë learns the price of freedom...
and the value of loyalty.

(Due to sexual content and language, this series is recommended for 17+)

4.0 out of 5 stars Not without flaws but enjoyable 16 Nov 2011
By Garmobozia
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I very much enjoyed this book. I read quite a bit of paranormal romance and urban fantasy - enough to know that there's a lot of dross out there but this book doesn't fall into that category. I found the lead female character Zoe to be flawed enough to be able to empathize with her and feisty without being all conquering. The 3 (that's right 3!) guys in her orbit are all drool worthy in their own ways and kept me switching allegiance for chapter to chapter - I still don't know who I'm rooting for in the next book. Also there are enough mysteries to keep you hooked until the next book (what is HALO..? Who is 'The Benefactor'..? What does it mean to be a Unique..?).

As I say in the title there are a few flaws. The spelling mistakes are irritating but occasionally entertaining (I had to chuckle at the part where Zoe was worried that someone wouldn't like her throwing up in his kitten...).

Overall a promising start to the series and I'll definitely be ordering the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Try it, you'll like it! 9 Jan 2012
By jenpeony
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm always eager to read new indie authors but often feel there is something missing or a not quite right with the novel, but Sterling is an outstanding exception - I cannot recommend this enough. The world building is excellent - it's introduced well and isn't over or under explained. The characters are engaging and Zoe (aka Silver) is a likeable and believable lead with big potential to kick ass... and that's one of the best things about this books - you just know that characters will develop and grow and there is so much potential for the rest of the series. If you love UF and/or PNR you've got to read this!

4.0 out of 5 stars I loved it 19 Nov 2011
By Claire's Book Corner
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Zoë Merrick is an ordinary human woman that is until she comes back from the dead after being brutally murdered after a night out with her best friend Sunny. She wakes up in a body bag in an ambulance and makes a run for it back to her apartment, however along the way she runs into a stranger called Adam and collapses. Adam takes Zoë back to his house and whilst she sleeps for three days her body transforms into someone and something else. However it's not until Justus walks into life some months later that Zoë finally learns what she is.

This is the debut UF novel by Dannika Dark and I thought that it was wonderful and brilliant and I loved it. This is the first book in the Mageri series where Ms Dark has a new take on things, there is a lot of character and world building going that is setting us up for book 2. I really liked all of the characters in fact there was nothing that annoyed me about them or anything that I would like to change. The plot and pacing were good and I found the book and Ms Dark's writing engrossing. Whilst there is some romantic interest from all three men in the story nothing really happens apart from two scenes where Zoë gets a bit friendlier with two of them and I look forward to see how things will play out on this front.

I would have given this book 5 stars however I don't think that I can do that because there are some spelling errors etc. and I feel that the book needs just that little bit of extra polishing off. I also found that the story jumped around a bit too much and I would find myself thinking `have I just missed something'. Now in Ms Dark's defence this book is written, edited, published and marketed by her, she even does the cover art (which I think is beautiful) herself.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to a new author 20 Nov 2011
By Bookaholic
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved this book and for a new author this was a good introduction. Between the reviewers and the synopsis they have given a very good idea of the story. It had drama, suspense, friendships and confliction with a touch of horror/abuse. I will be reading the next book in the series as of course I want to know what happens next. In my kindle I have the collection called the bookcase and this has made it to the bookcase!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow 7 Jan 2012
By J. Russell
Format:Kindle Edition
I absolutely loved it. I have gripped from the second I started reading it. I love finding authors who are not really established. It makes me feel like I have descovred something, a new book I can share with friends and help get someone noticed. After all, every sale counts! I picked this books after reading the blurb... It interested me and thought w not, was a cheap kindle book I'm glad I did. Can't wait for the next one!

Gripping, imaginative, lusty and wonderful characters. Connecting to them was easy and I didn't expect what happened to happen. Unpredictable. Thank you!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book! 3 Feb 2013
By Rachel
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great book, I loved it. I immediately purchased and read the next two in the series and eagerly await the new one. These are good fantasy books for females with strong characters. Refreshingly, the main character isn't a teenager and the main characters are in their 20s possibly their 30s. This is raunchy in places, (so not YA,) but good raunchy if that makes sense. I can't abide tacky add on bedroom adventures and I felt this and the other two had good intimate scenes that focused on the emotion of the characters. It was also a good length, long enough for me to be thoroughly engrossed in the plot and not predictable. I liked the male characters too. Now, I just hope she keeps writing more.
