Magnetic Shift Lucy D Briand Books

Seventeen year old Lexi Adams has the ability to move and manipulate anything metal with her mind. She sees this as a curse that was inherited from a father that she never knew so she doesn’t really understand her powers other than they are tied to her emotions. After her mother passed away she was left with an abusive, controlling step-father that has decided to trade Lexi to a NASCAR team for the rights to advertise his business on the car.

Lexi arrives at the race track and finds that the driver of the car she is supposed to be working for is nineteen year old rookie sensation Colton Tayler. Lexi is immediately attracted to Colton throwing her emotions into overdrive and finding it hard to control her ability around him. The more time the two spend together the harder it is for Lexi to hide what she can do and when Carl Stacy, a rival team owner sees Lexi use her ability he threatens exposure.

When I saw Magnetic Shift up for review I knew that I had to read it being a huge NASCAR fan. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the NASCAR tie in to the story, if it would be all fictional or make use of actual facts about racing or not. Well, color me impressed with the authors knowledge of the sport, I thought she did a wonderful job bringing the sport into this story. There may have been a couple little details here and there that could’ve used a little tweaking but the descriptions of the tracks, the roar of the engines, the pits, stands and fans all made me feel as if I were touring the race circuit right along with this racing team. A definite thumbs up for the setting of the story.

Now, as far as the plot and characters of this story I found that I enjoyed the idea of Lexi having abilities that she was trying to hide but I at times wish we were told a bit more about them a little sooner. Of course Lexi herself really didn’t understand them either so I suppose that’s why the reader was learning along with her just what she could or couldn’t do. I think I’d also might have liked a bit more of a build up between Lexi and Colton in their relationship, it was a tad too insta-lovey when the setting could have made room for more of a growing romance. Overall though it was an enjoyable read with an interesting plot that I’d recommend checking out.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Magnetic Shift Lucy D Briand Books Reviews

I would like to thank Spencer Hill Press & NetGalley for a copy of this e-ARC to review. Though I received this ebook for free, that has no impact upon the honesty of my review.

Goodreads Teaser "The ability to magnetize and manipulate metal with the flick of her wrist makes seventeen-year-old Lexi Adams a crack mechanic, but it’s a disaster in the making when her stepdad trades her skills to NASCAR team owner Dean Grant for an entire season’s worth of sponsorship ads.

Now Lexi has no other choice but to suck it up and hope she can keep her magnetic impulses under control—that is, until she runs into NASCAR’s hot new rookie, Colton Tayler.

When Carl Stacy, the ruthless team owner of the defending Cup Champion, discovers Lexi’s secret and plots to use it to ruin Dean’s race team for good, Lexi must either expose her ability to save Colton, risking Dean’s career and her own freedom in the process, or watch the only guy she’s ever fallen for race to his death."

This is a sweet love story and a coming of age/self-discovery story all in one. Lexi's lout of a stepfather trade's her to a NASCAR team for an entire season in exchange for what turns out to be a truly ridiculous sponsor ad, yet Lexi is still going through with the deal. It's gotta be better than facing her stepdad again, even if she's going to be struggling every day to keep her secret skills hidden and under wraps.

I mostly liked Lexi. Aside from her extra talent she's pretty much a normal girl, or would be if she'd ever stop bemoaning the state of her life. She considers her talent, and by extension herself, to be a freak of nature. And spends a bit too much time lamenting the fact that she's been stuck with this curse. That bit aside she really is pretty normal. She falls for Colton, but of course feels she can't have him because she'd have to trust him with her secret. But she takes her time falling for him, or at least that's what she thinks. On the outside it's pretty easy to see that she's been falling for him since day one. Which would explain all their fights, which, for the most part, she instigates.

Colton is a nice enough guy, but comes across as being a bit one dimensional for me. He's got his racing career, his intense loyalty to Dean - the owner of the team he races for, and his feelings for Lexi. I did like him, but he fell for Lexi a tad to quickly for me. OK, he fell too hard, too fast; especially given the way Lexi kept treating him, swing from hot to cold in the blink of an eye. Granted the story is told from Lexi's point of view, but the reasons for his attraction to her were never really demonstrated or even explained. Yet even with that pretty glaring omission I still enjoyed him, and the sweetness of their budding relationship.

Dean is also a worthy character, though I can't say why without giving away to much. But he's a good guy and a great role model. This story wouldn't work without him. As far as adults go, he's a keeper.

So you've got a bunch of pretty entertaining characters, a storyline that moves along at a decent clip (only a few shorts lulls when the story could have picked up the pace a bit), and an interesting conflict to be resolved. The question of if it will be resolved, and how, hang over the story and help propel it ever forward. Other than a rather odd pause near the end this story's pacing was pretty solid, with the arc of the tale being relatively smooth, and the characters demonstrating emotional growth along the way. So I'm going to have to say that yes, I enjoyed this book. It didn't run quite as I anticipated, but that's not a bad thing. In fact, it may be a good thing, and may just have helped me to enjoy the story even more than I otherwise would have.
