If you can't trust your boyfriend, who can you trust? In this modern Arthur story, 17-year-old student president Arianne, aka Ryan, DuLac just found out her badass biker boyfriend, Matt, is a little older than he was letting on. By a few eons. In fact, he is really Merlin--the Merlin, King Arthur's Merlin, the greatest wizard who ever lived. But Ryan's not impressed. Tired of being a relationship loser, she'd rather kick his legendary behind. Sure, the world has been crazy ever since a giant stone complete with sword fell out of the sky like a meteor. And Ryan's a bit freaked about the scary shadow-dragon trying to burn her alive. And now, Matt--er, Merlin--needs her and her brother to leave home because they are candidates to pull the Sword. But despite gruesome gargoyles, a new world of magic, and the guy driving her crazy, Ryan knows that family is everything. Will Merlin sacrifice hers to save the world? Will she be able to stop him?

I miss my Smallville (on CW). This book takes a lot of the same elements and puts a fresh twist on the King Arthur legend. I liked that it is an urban fantasy with a fresh twist on an old story. The characters are down-to-earth. Powerful, yet vulnerable. The characters and their interactions are what made me want to read on. And I fell in love with the bad-boy villain. He was fantastic. The story is fast-paced (maybe a little too fast-paced) but I couldn't put it down. There's a bit of a cliff-hanger at the end but it's still got a very satisfying finish (the romance leaps forward).
Good Points
Funtastic YA about King Arthur set in modern times. Lots of steamy romance and good characters.
