While trapped in a stalled subway train on his morning commute, PR rep Byron Cole flirts with Levi, a young waiter with adorable curls. But Byron's hopes for romance crash and burn when Levi saves him from a brutal explosion — with outlawed magic.
When Levi is imprisoned, Byron begins to question everything he's ever believed. How can magic be evil when Levi used it to save dozens of lives? So Byron hatches a plan to save Levi that will cost him his job and probably his life. If he doesn't pull it off, Levi will be put to death.
Byron discovers that he isn't the only one questioning America's stance on magic. And he learns that Levi is stubborn, angry, and utterly enchanting. Time is running out, though. Byron must convince Levi to trust him, to trust his own magic, and to fight against the hatred that’s forced him to hide his true nature his entire life. The more Levi opens up, the harder Byron falls. And the more they have to lose.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5This was such a fun book! Brisby has done a very nice job of world-building here, imagining a world like our own but some people are born with magic. Magic is seen as dangerous, a threat to society and rigidly controlled. Mages are required to be registered with the government and wear magic-nullifying bracelets. Sure, the bracelets cause constant pain and a high percentage of registered mages commit suicide, but at least society is safe, right?
Byron is the nephew of the chairman of Cole Industries, an enormous company that is the driving force in magic suppression and control, possibly more powerful than even the government. For him to start questioning his beliefs is a very big deal indeed.
The plotting and pacing of this book were great, and the suspense really ratchets up throughout the book. I adored the main characters. Byron is socially inept and "weird" and yet a good and thoughtful man who is trying to do the right thing. Levi is someone who has always just tried to fly below the radar but now is forced to endure medical testing and be subjected to some truly horrifying procedures. I would have liked to get a better feel for Levi's personality before this all went down, but it's understandable why he is written the way he is. I loved that Levi maintained a grim sense of humor and sarcasm throughout the story, though. The blossoming romance between Byron and Levi was incredibly sweet, and I was cheering them on the whole time.
The side characters are great as well, from Victoria, the anti-magic scientist recruited to help Levi, and Eleanor, Victoria's maybe-girlfriend and Byron's snarky roommate, to Byron's shady, unscrupulous uncle. They and others supported the story well and yet still seemed well-developed.
Brisby's writing flows well, and she does a good job of slowly ramping up the pacing as the suspense kicks in. Little modern touches like social media addictions and smartphone games help to ground the story in the present and help the reader get a better mental picture of the book's world. Overall the "heat factor" is pretty low here save for a few intimate moments, but the developing relationship between Byron and Levi is even more enjoyable to me than paragraphs of steamy scenes anyway.
I happily recommend this book, and look forward to seeing more of Kit Brisby's writing in the future!

Rogue Magic edition by Kit Brisby Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I loved this book, fast paced, exciting, looking forward to reading more from this author. Characters felt innocent and likeable.
One of the books I've read in a long time that I just could not put down. Couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next. Kept the suspense going right to the end.
While it was a good story, and well written, it wasn't the story line I was expecting. I guess I expected Levi to be in a little more danger. I did like it overall, and would read it again.
I liked the characters... It was well written... The plot was interesting as well... It was missing something for me tho... Maybe I wanted more out of the epilogue.... All in all I recommend....
Excellent book! I love that there was a nice balance of magic and romance to have the book along. I love the character building as well as the interaction between the two characters mainly by win and Levi. Of course the supporting cast was also great eleanor and Victoria, Sam and Penny. Thank you for this excellent book. If you are into magic books, this is the perfect way to get your day or week started!
Well, I just took about 6 to 7 hours to binge read this, and I can tell you there won't be any regrets after reading this one! The last book I read left me feeling disappointed, like I wasted my time, so I was hesitant to dive back in. Luckily, this was a great book with a cute romance paired with a gripping plot that helped me get back out there! I sometimes struggle to find good paranormal/fantasy books with a gay main character, but this is definitely one of the good ones! I know this isn't quite the same, but if you like xmen, minus the superhero stuff, this is the book for you!
The book was dark, like taking a look at modern life with a twist. It's not hard to see what happened to the Mages in this book happening to any minority group in the USA in the the current political climate. In the story, Levi saves lives when an explosion by terrorists happens nearby. He is bound, cuffed with CALM bracelets, and nearly dies from it. After being beaten by angry people whom he just saved. Byron Cole looks at the world differently after this and together with friends, seeks to end the persecution of those born different, with the unique gift of magic.
