Magic, Demons & High School Drama

All Lucille ever wanted was a perfectly normal high school experience, but her town doesn’t do normal. Not when a few Latin words set her hand on fire, the entire town gets possessed by evil spirits, and the cute guy she’s got her eyes on brings a freaking sword to the battle.
Now Lucille has to make a decision: return to her cushy, and safe, life-style at the boarding school, or join her friends and face the monsters that hunt her and the magic that resides inside of her.

A Drop of Magic is the first book of this action-packed, ensemble-led YA fantasy series with the wit of Buffy, the magic of Charmed, and all the drama of the Vampire Diaries. Join Lucille and her friends on their monster hunt!

"Well written, fast paced and fun read, filled with magic, demons and high school drama to boot" - Debbie Eyre, Goodreads

5.0 out of 5 stars Enough magic in the world to surprise even those that have it!
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2023

It took a couple chapters to get into this one, part of it being what someone else alluded to with some odd word choices and incorrect usage. Putting all that aside, this one really starts to get into you around the second or third chapter and then it's one of those things that's hard to put back down again.

I have A River in my Kindle already, waiting for my next bit of reading time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story - but needs editing
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2023

I'm giving this 5 stars because the story and the characters are really exceptional. However, this needs some pretty serious editing. Wrong word choices, incorrect verb tenses and odd sentences are scattered throughout the book, which really is a shame because, other than that, I really loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's get the magic on!
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2022
This was a LONG read. I usually can knock out books in a day or so depending on size, but as much as I never wanted to put this one down, life interceded along with an injury that caused a lot of necessary sleep to happen.

THAT said, OMG, this book is amazing, the beginning of a series, that it seems is based on a German version that is written like a TV series with episodes (how cool huh?). So it looks like we have ALOT of books to come and I for one, can't wait!

The characters are numerous and all are important in their own way. We'll have a base 6 crew that will be dealing with the magic in Ashuan (Earth like) together to fix and protect. Matt is hot, Lucille is rich and stubborn, Sam is smart and resourceful, Jan is our token wild boy, Fabian lives by the rules, and hopefully will learn rules are bendy, Rachel has felt and faced loss, but she is now learning to be her real self. Together, they are going to do amazing things, I know it.

Warning, a little cuve thrown at you in the last page, but I think you'll see it coming anyways. Must read, great YA read for sure, so get reading and check out A Drop of Magic!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent First In Series
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022
A Drop Of Magic by Janna Ruth is Book 1 in the Ashuan Greed series. This is a well written, action packed, page turning adventure with wonderful and likeable characters. There are 6 teenagers (Matt, Sam, Jan, Fabian, Lucille & Rachel) who want to fix and protect Ashuan. The story is filled with demons and magic. Am looking forward to the next in series to see what Janna has in store for these six teenagers. Received an ARC and this is my voluntary review.

I don't usually read YA books, and I started this one wondering if l would enjoy it. At first, it seemed that no, I wouldn't, even though it is very well written and the characters are likeable . Then, of course, l got caught up in the story and I ended up loving it. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Six teenagers who discover that magic is not a fantasy but reality and stand up to the monsters that threaten their hometown. Fans of Buffy, Charmed or Supernatural will love this series. Anyway, I do, even though I've leaving my teenage years behind me for a long time.
The characters are authentic and lively. I felt transported right back to my school days. The story is told in an exciting way, so it's hard to put the reader aside.

Für deutschsprachige Leser: Das hier ist die englische Version der Serie "Ashuan". Hierbei handelt es sich nicht um eine einfache Übersetzung. Die ursprüngliche Drehbuchform wurde in Romanform umgesetzt. Das ist der Autorin absolut gut gelungen. Ich kann jedem nur empfehlen einen Blick zu riskieren.
