For a girl who has always been on the outside looking in, the rebel, the loner, the shadow walking amongst the ordinary non-suspecting at all my previous schools; I’d never thought I’d become one of the Beautiful Ones at the most exclusive posh prep academy called Shadowlight Academy. It wasn’t easy. And I almost died because of it. Being bullied by them and surviving it, changed everything. Now … everything. Now I’m one of them. The power behind the Beautiful Ones is unlike anything I have ever encounter…so is its beautiful eternal draw. It wants me, wants my power…can I resist?
Unlike many high school heroines in fantasy books, I always knew I was not ordinary. Far from it.
Since I was two, I have been seeing angels and demons. Given the gift of battle as a warrior, my role as a slayer often interferes with my role as a normal girl. So no, I was never a typical girl who had just found out she was heir to some magical family or something like that. I’ve been “gifted” practically all my life.
So when my ordinary family moved us to San Francisco to a new school where my father teaches, I didn’t think much of the school. Shadowlight Academy, the most exclusive and posh prep academy for the super rich. I thought I would be there to slay the evil like an undercover superhero amongst the ordinary.
I just didn’t think the ordinary would all be extremely unordinary. Especially the three most popular kids in school. Then there’s the hot brooding rebel boy who didn’t seem to fit in, too. Everyone here has secrets, and I am determined to find out what, before it kills me…the entire Academy and even the world.
Okay, I might be dramatizing a bit, but yes, from what I’ve barely seen…it could be that big. Better get my game gear on and my entire armor on, because this is going to be one epic battle. But who can I trust?
The Beautiful Ones, which rule Shadowlight Academy is known to be both beautiful yet wicked. They’re fascinated with me as I am of them. But who or what are they really, and why do I feel drawn to them like a fly to a spider? Can I escape their beautiful web before I am trapped forever? Do I want to?
*Magic Over Boys is the second in a high school paranormal academy series for mature teens and up. Expect a tough heroine who can take on anyone and anything, will, lots of steam literally and figuratively, and a reverse harem.

This was a good book to read. We pick up where we left off. We have Asher in jail, Brax in another country and Lux dealing with Moore and Shayne. There is more action in this book. However, Lux is still trying to figure out what she wants from all the guys. Shayne is really out to get Lux. She finds out something that may change her mind about someone. I can’t wait to see what will happen next.
Another amazing book by this amazing author. Once you start reading this amazing book you will find yourself unable to put this book down. The story is amazing and you will be hooked on it from the moment that you start reading. The characters are so real that you feel as though you really know them and are with them experiencing what they are, and no matter what happens you want to see them succeed. This book is a must read, there is no doubt about it, and once you do you will be instantly wanting more. Awesome.
The second book in this really amazing series so far. I truly could not get enough of it and just as hooked on it as the first one. Loved every single character and honestly can not wait for the third book to find out more about everything.
I have some mixed feelings on this one. Magic Over Boys in the second book in Gow’s Shadowlight Academy series and must be read in order.
In the first book, we met all the key players in this series and have an idea of who and what they are and the role they play in this series. Magic Over Boys starts off a month after everything ended in The Beautiful Boys – one of them is in jail, another has left the country and the remaining are all odds with one another.
There is a lot more action in this book and things move along quickly in this series. At times it’s hard to remember that these characters are in high school but they also aren’t your typical teenagers so in ways they have had to grow up faster due to their angelic or demonic side.
While I am enjoying the suspense and mystery with this story, I am also wanting the relationships more developed and parts of the plot delved into a bit more. I feel that certain aspects are being too rushed without the proper development which leaves that aspect feeling a bit unbelievable.
Overall, while it may not be a favorite read of mine, I am intrigued enough to see where Gow takes this series. And as always with any paranormal reverse harem read, you truly have to keep your thoughts open to the unknown and the far-out ideas otherwise, this series may come across as too unreal and you will miss the mark completely.
Three beautiful boys that fought for the heart of one. But alas events unfolded, and a death did occur. Now it’s one heart that fights for three.
Across the sea, incapacitated and lost are they.
She needs them, just as they need her. Their love is unique, and binds them together.
But darkness steps closer, will all her efforts be in vain, is their love enough or will it all be too late ..?
Eeeek!! this is one exciting fast past action packed read that directly continues from book one beautiful boys.
Everywhere I turned theres love and passion. Kisses and wandering hands, oh my god I loved it!
Pain and punishments for love and happiness. Souls changing colours, my heart was dancing a dangerous rhythm as I read on.
There is so much to take in as mystery and questions unfold, followed by danger and fulfilment.
I wanted to jump up and down, squeal in excitement, discover all the answers, but not reach the end at the same time.
This is the kind of read I could happily lose myself in for hours beyond the books I’ve read so far.
Amazingly brilliant! I feel so lucky to have found such a unique author. Her words are my happiness it’s as simple as that.
Sizzling and Intense!
Wow, this book is even better than the first. The story just keeps getting better and better. So much action, suspense and intrigue with lots of steamy panty melting moments. Definitely keeping me on the edge of my seat.
Lux is absolutely amazing and fierce. She really can kick some demon butt. The beautiful boys in her life are really starting to shine. Each with their own purpose and skill. They are becoming a very strong team. They still have some serious issues to work out as a group but once they do their relationship is going to the ultimate. They are explosive and thrilling to read about.
I can’t wait to read what’s next.
Oh my goodness Kailin did it again! This book was just as good as book one! Lux and her guys are at it again and you see some relationships grow and blossom while others seem to cool off a bit. There are surprises and twists around every turn of this book. It will keep you guess until the end and you’ll be left counting down the days until book 3 releases! If you haven’t one clicked this yet you need to, but if you haven’t read book 1 yet you will need to read the first book or you’ll be lost these books do go in order and shouldn’t be read out of order! One click and enjoy this wonderful world of Shadowlight academy!
