Magic and Time travel, Stop the Magician, Steal the book and save the future.

Enjoyable story but really confusing at times, time travel is always confusing though. you can tell that Lisa Maxwell did a lot of research on the history of the USA including actually historical events and mixed them in well with the fictious story. 
Lisa not only include these events but also the feelings of the different communities in the early 1900's, when new immigrants to the US were viewed with distrust and hatred, forcing them to fear others from different races or religion. Lisa addresses racism directly doesn't sugar coated it and even has some of the main characters to face and question their own racist views. the story also covers gender inequality and some rights or atlest  acknowledgement of the LGBTQ+  perhaps there will be more in the next book?
Candace Thaxton was a good narrator good pacing my only issue that had with it was the editing as some times when changing chapters it jumped in to the first world like it was cut in half it it was a little off putting but a very minor thing.
definitely recommend this book.

In modern-day New York, magic is all but extinct. The remaining few who have an affinity for magic—the Mageus—live in the shadows, hiding who they are. Any Mageus who enters Manhattan becomes trapped by the Brink, a dark energy barrier that confines them to the island. Crossing it means losing their power—and often their lives. goodreads.com/book

Personal Note: this is my first blog in about 5 months I have been in alot of pain due to an illness and which has often left me housebound if not bed bound, you would think id make the most of this time listing to audiobooks. however its difficult to concentrate on new story's and find myself returning to ones I've listen to a hundred times, it also brings me comfort knowing what is going to happen the predictability is calming. I've often done this with tv and movies. I'm along way for recovered as I need a surgery I will still continue to listen to stories new and old alike and post when I can
