    About this ebook

    Magic is real. A handful of sorcerers wield arcane power against demons and the forces of darkness. These protectors of the powerless are the best magic-users in the world. Unfortunately, Dru isn’t one of them. She’s got magical potential. She uses crystals to see enchantments, and she can research practically anything in the library in the back of her little store, sandwiched between a pawnshop and a 24-hour liquor mart. She sells enough crystals, incense, and magic charms to scrape by. Everything changes the day a handsome mechanic pulls up in a possessed black muscle car, his eyes glowing red. Just being near Greyson raises Dru’s magical powers to dizzying heights. But he’s been cursed to transform into a demonic creature that could bring about a fiery doomsday. There’s only one chance to break Greyson’s curse—and it’s about to fall into Dru’s inexperienced hands. . . . From the Trade Paperback edition.

      Dru is a young woman who runs a New Age shop. She can use crystals to see enchantments, and she can brew the occasional potion. Dru does well enough to not get evicted.Things get very interesting when a very handsome man, with unnaturally red eyes, and driving a possessed, black muscle car, enters her shop. The man, named Grayson, has been having bad dreams where he has turned into a demon. Along with three other demons, they are about to destroy the whole world. Grayson also has little nubs growing on his forehead; the beginning of actual horns.Dru realizes that Grayson is not just turning into your average demon. He is turning into one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The other three Horsemen, looking like creatures right out of an H.P. Lovecraft story, are looking for their "colleague." Dru's crystals can slow, but not stop, Grayson's transformation. The only choice is for Grayson to fully become one of the Horsemen, and hope that Dru can find some way to not kill him.A group of seven fallen sorcerers called the Harbingers want to rule a new magical realm where humanity is out of the way, permanently. An ancient scroll called the Apocalypse Scroll has been unearthed. It has seven seals on it; four seals have been broken, for the Four Horsemen. If all seven seals are broken, very bad things will happen to humanity. Along with her friend Rane, who has a very unique ability, can Dru save the world? Can she rescue Grayson, which whom she has fallen in love?This is a really good story. It has first-rate writing, good characters and plenty of action. The reader will learn a lot about crystals, and will not go wrong with this novel.

      It Happened One Doomsday is a fast paced urban fantasy. It’s a quick read, filled with action and plenty of banter between characters. However, the action comes to a near screeching halt at the end.

      Now, its really no slower than the first chapter, and there’s definitely forward movement – events are still ongoing – and, honestly, the characters need and deserve a bit of a break after everything they've gone through. On the other hand, it’s a bit jarring. After 250-something pages of nonstop pedal-to-the-floor momentum even a slight lull in action feels like we’re slamming on the breaks.

      The characters, while fun and largely relatable, do lack a certain amount of development that I normally expect, especially if this is the first book in a series. Still, the book made a fun afternoon read.

      I received a free copy of It Happened One Doomsday through Goodreads Giveaways in exchange for an honest review.
    • 3/5
      I generally try to write fairly substantial reviews, but in the case of It Happened One Doomsday, I just don't have much to say. It is a run-of-the-mill PUF (paranormal and urban fantasy): a fun, quick read that makes no demands on its readers.From its ending, it is clear that it is intended to be the first book of a series, so I am bewildered by the characters' lack of depth and the ridiculous speed with which Dru and Greyson fall in love. The pace is fast and furious from the beginning, and the story runs full tilt until it suddenly falls off a cliff, leading to a tremendous feeling of letdown.Had I known that It Happened One Doomsday is the beginning of a series, I would not have requested an ARC because I already have way too many PUF series to keep up with. While reading It Happened One Doomsday was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, I am not sufficiently interested in Dru to follow her on her next adventure.I received a free copy of It Happened One Doomsday through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
