I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Inheritance is episode one of The Wizards of Seattle series. The story begins by introducing us to Jason, a young category three wizard with the unusual ability to read psychometry. He lost his job three months prior and was desperate to find another job. While out having dinner with his two best friends, he is attacked by a curse. His friends manage to distract it briefly but not long enough and eventually the curse strangles him. His best friend Monte revives him and is at the hospital when he awakens. Upon his return home he is visited by the executor of a distant cousin's will. In it, she states the her three chosen relatives must live at her estate for ten years practicing white magic and becoming white knights. If they choose not to become white knights, they must still live at the estate for the duration in order to receive their share of the property and four hundred thousand dollars.

Jason grudgingly moves into the mansion, but soon realizes that living with his brother, Benjamin and cousin, Amy, isn't as bad as he thought it would be. He also finds out that the Valturas are responsible for the attempt on his life and his brother and cousin are in danger as well. During a battle with two of the curses, Ben unintentionally releases a spell on Jason, awakening his latent category six abilities. Will Ben, Jason, and Amy be able to survive the attacks by the Valturas? Will they be able to awaken their white magic in time to save themselves? Can they trust those around them?

I've missed reading about The Grumpy Old Wizards series, so when I found out about this new series, I just had to read it. Each character has their own unique personality, but I think my favorite at the moment is Ben. He's so laid back and easy going, he doesn't seem to worry about anything. This story has nonstop action and edge of your seat excitement, as well as some funny moments. If you haven't read anything by John O'Riley, I strongly suggest you start with Inheritance. It's a quick, fun read that everyone will enjoy! ( )
