The Witches of Vegas by Mark Rosendorf is a YA Paranormal/Urban Fantasy which, is indeed a treat for those who love the magical world. How can witches and their vampire mentor practice their powers without arousing suspicion from the non-magical people? Start a magic show.
The Witches of Vegas has become the number one magic show in Las Vegas all thanks to their powers. They provide the greatest performance with unbelievably cheap tickets. This has caused the other magicians to lose out audience and struggle to make their ends meet.
Isis Rivera is the fifteen-year-old adopted daughter of The Witches of Vegas. She is supposed to be the most powerful witch out there but her constant mood swings tend to be dangerous for people around her. She has never gone far away from the theatre and has been homeschooled.
Zack Galloway is a teenage nephew of the last magician left in Las Vegas. The Witches of Vegas are supposed to be their rival but when Valeria, a 400-year-old witch with a grudge against non-magical folks appears out of nowhere and threatens to destroy the world, they need to team up and save their world.
But can the combined power of witches and of magicians be enough to stop Valeria from her madness? How will they stop a powerful witch turned vampire from wreaking havoc in their world?
The book seemed a little fast-paced. If there were a little more details given about each character and their backgrounds it could have been made into 2 or 3 books. But, the author has done a great job in the storyline.
I would totally recommend this book to all those who enjoy the magical reads! I wish there would be a sequel or a novella as I really want to know more about all the characters. ( )

If I'm being completely honest, I was a little nervous about reading this. Young adult is pretty hit-and-miss for me, and I'm very picky about witches. But I was completely blown away. The beginning grabs you, and gets your heart racing. Move forward and while your heart slows, the tension transforms, and you quickly fall in love with the characters. Everything seems so believable that it's not hard to imagine magic being real, and witches performing in Vegas as magicians. The villain(ess) makes you uneasy from the start and is easy to dislike. Overall, complex characters in a story you can get lost for hours in. ( )
