Review: Bones at the Crossroads

Bones at the Crossroads by LaDarrion Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It is finally time for Malik to start his freshman year of college.  After the trials endured during the summer session, he is hoping for just a normal experience.  Since he is attending Caiman University, an HBCU for magical students, that will not be possible.  At first, he just wanted to find his mother, but now that he has learned she is a greater danger to him than those he thought were his enemies, he doesn’t know whom he can trust.

Bones at the Crossroads is the second book in the Blood at the Root series.  The story picks up shortly after the conclusion of the first book, weaving together magic and mundane life.  I enjoyed the magical component and the aspects where the main character learns more about who he wants to become, but some of the day-to-day portions of the story just slowed everything down.  Readers must read the first book to enjoy this continuation.
