A Hand of Magic Kindle Edition
Even in a world of magic . . . the healer must trust in love to be healed.
Madison, a healer, is running from the venomous weresnakes when she rescues and heals a werewolf pup under attack by a troll. Soon the pup’s werewolf pack finds her . . . and she is drawn to the pack’s charismatic and alluring Alpha leader, Alex. Madison swore off love long ago, but the more time she spends with the werewolf pack, the harder it is to push Alex away.
Behind his wolfish grin, Alex Spiros’ cautious and dangerous movements mark him as a predator . . . and the killer for his pack. Something about Madison arouses the protector in him, and it is not just because she is a healer. He worries about her, and wants her to feel safe after having been forced to be the weresnakes’ healer. To protect her and his pack, Alex declares war against the weresnakes.
Time is running out for Madison and the pack unless Alex can bring the war to a victorious end. As the battle rages, Madison must decide if she is ready to bond with this pack, and surrender to the rarer bond with Alex, even if it could all be lost in the upcoming battle.

Yowza! What a great paranormal romance!
Reviewed in the United States on 13 February 2018Verified Purchase
Madison is a healer on the run and the last thing she needs is a Hand (a group of magical beings who are bonded and protect each other) without a healer stalking her. After saving a werewolf pup from a troll, the Hand owes her their gratitude and protection. Reluctantly, she agrees to go with Alex, a virile werewolf, and his Hand back to their home. She's on the run from the weresnakes and needs a place to crash. But the more time she spends with Alex and his Hand, the more attached she grows. Can he truly save her from weresnakes or is she just putting everyone’s lives in danger?
Alex takes one look at Madison and knows she’s his mate. But she’s skittish and afraid so he takes his time. She brings out his protective instincts and he vows to sacrifice his own life for hers, if necessary. While Madison is healing a pregnant werewolf, she unravels the secret behind the wretched curse. Can she undo the curse that’s plagued female werewolves for many years and if so, will that make her stay by his side?
Yowza! What a gripping, steamy paranormal romance! I’ve always had a thing for werewolf romances and this one is superb! Madison is a damaged soul yet finds solace in Alex’s arms. Alex is an alpha male, yet he has a sensitive side, too. Many of the characters I grew attached to and I’m hoping Moat will make this a series. I want to continue in this world and see the stories of the rest of the characters. A must read and highly recommend!
Favorite Character/Quote: Madison. I connected with her right away. She’s been abused by a bunch of weresnakes (eww!) and their cruelty is all she knows. Her walls around her heart are understandable and yet I loved her inner conflict with the new Hand.
My Rating: 5++ stars

Fun read and good first entry to a series
Reviewed in the United States on 9 October 2019Verified Purchase
This is a highly imaginative and fast paced book. I don't typically read this genre, so some of the romance elements were less interesting for me, but it did not hinder the story for me. I enjoyed all of the different kinds of magical/mythical creatures and the intricate relationships between them. It creates a lot of dynamic relationships for the next in the series to build on.

Great Fantasy Story
Reviewed in the United States on 24 November 2019Verified Purchase
This was a very good fantasy story that was hard to put down because it kept the reader engaged and anxious to find out what would happen next. Werewolves, weresnakes, magicians and healers were the principal types of characters in the story with a group of werewolves—called a Hand—the main group the story revolved around. There are great battles as well as a warm love story between Alex, a werewolf, and Madison a healer who ultimately joins the Hand.
The novel was well written, easy and fun to read. I highly recommend A Hand of Magic!

A Hand of Magic is wonderfully imaginative and exciting!
Reviewed in the United States on 8 November 2019Verified Purchase
Diane Moat has created a parallel world and a steamy story that kept me flying through the pages. I was drawn in from the beginning by this alternate world and the very modern young adults who race through it in this tale of intrigue and adventure. The characters are compelling, fun to follow throughout their journey of discovery. There were surprises all along the way. Terrific read for everyone, not just fans of YA, fantasy, and science fiction. Can't wait to read the sequels and would love to hear the Audible.

A good series started
Reviewed in the United States on 26 September 2019Verified Purchase
I loved this book and can't wait to get the rest of the series. The only issues I seen in the book was a few times the book felt like it was missing a part of the story. To tell how we got to point c because point b was missing. It is still a good story and one I would recommend reading
