Reckless Magic by Rachel Higginson

Genre: Fantasy
Style: Mysterious and Magical
Recommended: 13-17
Other: First of a two part series each consisting of four books
       
I really like this series as I love to read fantasy novels (if you haven't already noticed I mostly read fantasy and romance novels). If you are like me and love to read about magic then these are the perfect books for you. Although I love this series I believe it has its ups and downs, getting better then worse as it continues. This series is split into two parts the first section consisting of 4 books which climax in the fourth novel and then a second part to the series afterwards consisting of 3 books at the moment but I believe there will be more to come. If you are intimidated by the prospect of an eight book series then just begin with the first one and take it from there, in my opinion the first four novels are the best and if you wanted you could just stop reading after those four. My biggest criticism of this series would be its length which by the seventh and soon to be eighth novel it is dragging on a bit too much for me however, if you like long series then these books are good for you.

Blurb:
16 year old Eden Matthews has been in and out of private schools for the last two years. She can't seem to stop herself from closing them down. Kingsley is her last chance to finish high school and the last private school willing to accept her. She is focused on just getting through graduation until she realizes Kingsley is not like the other private schools she's been to. The students may be different, but so is she. And after meeting Kiran Kendrick, the boy who won't leave her alone and seems to be the source of all her problems, she is suddenly in a world that feels more make-believe than reality. 
To top it off, she is being hunted by men who want to kill Kiran and her best friend Lilly is taken away to a foreign prison. Eden finds herself right in the middle of an ancient war, threatening everything she loves. She alone has to find a way to save her best friend and the boy who has captivated her heart. Reckless Magic is an intricate story about mystery, adventure, magic and forbidden love. Eden Matthews is an unlikely heroine determined to save the world and be with her one, true love before it's too late.
