Spellcaster Wild Card

By Nikki Jefford
Spellcaster Wild Card by Nikki Jefford digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Winning the show means living forever. It is the golden ticket to fame, fortune, and a place among the vampire elite.

 

Being remade isn't on my wish list. I like being me, and with nearly a million online followers, it's working. My parents and big sister are the do-gooders in our family who want to make the world a fair and just place for all humans and paranormal creatures. I just want to finish high school and keep doing what I do best—sharing hair and beauty tips while discussing Spellcaster and how the show's vampire judge Malachi Rayne is the hottest male on the planet.

 

Then, life as I know it ends. There are evil forces who will stop at nothing to maintain world dominance—indefinitely.

 

It's hard to care when I've become dead inside and out.

 

After my family is violently attacked, the host of Spellcaster insists I audition for Season 13. For the first time in the show's history, they want to represent every species of paranormals. That's me now. Not human. Not vampire. Not the class of creature anyone EVER cheers for.

 

This season's prize is power beyond anyone's imagination. It is the kind of reward that contestants and their sponsors would kill to possess.

  

Let the other contestants and judges underestimate me. They can gossip all they want about the hotshot wizard and the alpha werewolf behaving as though I'm another prize to be won. And if Coach Malachi can't handle a bold influencer with abilities, then he can suck it. I preferred watching him from the other side of the screen. He's about to discover that Haylee Hutchins is a force to be reckoned with. The whole world will.

 

Someone thought they could silence my family for good. Instead, they created a monster. I'm still here, and I am much harder to kill.

“4.5⭐️ First, I am thankful to have gotten the eARC for free from Netgalley and the author so I can leave my voluntary and honest review. Second, wow! I liked this book so much and I may come back and amend my star rating as I sit with it because I can’t wait to read the second book. The biggest issue I had with it is I wanted more backstory. I’m going to try to write this without any spoilers which is difficult. The book starts like a typical YA book (yes it’s YA and clearly marked as such except in the end it’s actually a bit more like NA to be honest but more on that after…) Giving some world building background and then bam a situation happens and everything turns left. Now some of that is for good reason but there is also that it feels like a lot is missing in that world building. Particularly in how different groups of society relate to each other in an in-depth way. Throughout the book you do get bits here and there about the emotions of the different groups as it relates to one another but not really the “why”. It’s just a given. So in a book that is so descriptive about many aspects it feel like someone took a chunk of the book and deleted it. The other missing part is after this event you don’t get the fall out. There is no insight to how the world dealt with an influencer with 1 million followers going through the event and subsequently making the decisions that she did. It just doesn’t make sense. Now it’s a lengthy book which I personally would not have minded if it was longer or it couldn’t have easily been split into two volumes from that one book so you could get all that missing information. Also for a book that is so beautifully descriptive where you can easily visualize what is going on, I don’t feel like I know the FMC very well from a character development standpoint. That being said, it doesn’t affect the enjoyment of the book. I know the above may seem negative but it’s just because the story was so engaging and enjoyable you want to know more and have it reach its full potential. This is where self publishing comes in unfortunately as you don’t have the benefit of the team of people at a publishing house that could have picked up on the holes. Then again there is a freedom of self publishing where it may have ruined the book had it been done elsewhere. As for it being “YA”. It is because the Female protagonist is 17 but for most of the book she is definitely in a more adult world where you enter more of the NA genre. It really is a book for all ages. I love the reality game show angle. I think you can hate reality TV and the trope and still enjoy this subplot as it’s different from the typical. This book is so filled with details, sub plots and micro plots (at lowest now) that it can be a series for many many books if the author so chooses and I hope she does. I so look forward to the next book and it’s going to live rent free in my head as I want to know what happens! So far I was able to naturally figure out some of the light twists along the way as well as the major one even though I wasn’t trying to figure them out but it didn’t take away at all and I think it’s a personal thing and not because it’s predictable. Definitely add this to your TBR for October 1, 2024! Perfect book to get into the Halloween season! My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars and I rarely round up. ⭐️ Hated it ⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again”
