Book Review- My Boyfriend Merlin by Priya ArdisArriane, or Ryan, lost her mother and is in the process of being adopted by the Ragnars. She is inheriting two siblings Grey and Alexa. Her life is definitely changing. Then a mysterious sword embedded in a stone appears out of thin air. Things get weirder when a shadow dragon comes after her when her almost boyfriend Matt gives her a ride home. As a result of the attack Ryan loses someone special.
She is then whisked away to a wizard academy. She is one of the chosen ones to try and pull the sword. She has feelings for Matt but he keeps her at arms’ length. When she learns his secret she is shocked and doesn’t know who to trust. Matt has lied to her and his brother Vane shows he is a complete jerk. Both of them are training her and the other chosen. They continually battle each other.
As time progresses Ryan develops feelings for both but she may never be able to choose. Time draws near as do the Gargoyles. They are determined to kill her and get the sword for themselves. There are also traders among the group. Things get dangerous as Matt’s visions come true. Ryan has to make major sacrifices and tough decisions in order to protect everyone she loves.
This book is the first book of the series. The book I felt, began kind of in the middle. I was confused right from the beginning because I felt like I was kind of dumped in. Matt and Ryan already had a past together. Yet it had already happened. I think it made it harder to believe the connection they supposedly had. The reader never really saw it in its beginning stages.
I was definitely pulling for Ryan and Matt, then came along Vane. I’m not sure how I feel now. I am torn over who she should choose. This book definitely left off with a cliffhanger and shocking words from Matt. I’m ready to read book two. I want to see what happens next. I give it a 4 out of 5.

The Plot
Ryan knows that things are going to change when a giant earthquake shook the whole world and the sword Excalibur appeared in a stone in the middle of London. But she has no idea that Matt, the boy she's been crushing on, is going to reveal himself to be the wizard Merlin and whisk her and her adopted brother Grey to train to be candidates to pull the stone. And it turns out that Matt's brother Vane, who helped Mordred in his revolution against Arthur during the first go-round with the sword, has also stepped up to train candidates, though he distinctly prefers the wizard candidates to the regulars like Ryan. Can Matt and Vane work out their differences in time to train a successful candidate this time around, or will Camelot once again fall into legend?
The Good
I cannot possible describe with words how much I loved this book. Seriously, what you are about to read now is as close to gushing as I am ever going to get. The way I feel about My Boyfriend Merlin is how I want to feel about every single book I pick up. I want to be gripped so thoroughly by the plot that I can't put it down, and I want to think about it when I'm not reading it. When deciding what to read the next night, I want to think that rereading the best parts of this book is a far better choice than trying to pick up something new that will almost certainly be inferior. This feeling is the reason that I read, and I love that this book was able to provide it for me.
As for specifics... Well, it's a modern day Arthurian story where Merlin is a hot teenage boy with an equally hot evil older brother. What's not to love? But there is also an interesting mythology going on over who is going to pull the sword from the stone this time around and how that is going to change the world.
The Bad
I have to confess that I don't think that this book is for everyone. It's definitely in the teen girl romance section of your bookstore. If you aren't saying, "Hot teenage Merlin with an evil brother? Sign me up!" it's probably not going to turn you into a convert. I am currently imagining authors reading this and saying, "She gave me two/three/four stars and this all the stars?" And my only defense is that I have never lied about my love of good YA paranormal romance. And My Boyfriend Merlin is good YA paranormal romance.
And technically, the book was far from perfect. I find myself asking questions like "If Ryan just moved to Boston a year ago, why is she the senior class president?" and "Why is a wizard who has been frozen in a cave for the past 1000 years making Wizard of Oz references?" Also, the chapters often ended in awkward places. But for the most part, I find myself too involved in the story to nitpick.
And, yes, the title is terrible. I'm a little ashamed to admit to reading something with the name. The second one is My Merlin Awakening, which is even worse. If you aren't Kate Chopin or L.J. Smith, you are too late to use the word Awakening in your book title. Sorry.
The Romance
There is only one thing that we readers of teen paranormal romance like better than a love triangle, and that is a REALLY GOOD love triangle. And what makes a love triangle really good? I ask myself as I try to define why it is that My Boyfriend Merlin is so superior to other books for me. I think in this case it's because it's so hard to choose which team to be on. Because while both boys are right for her in that they are attractive and challenging to her, they are also both wrong for her. Matt and Vane both like Ryan, but they're both also deeply involved with trying to manage the fate of the world, and there are going to be times that they will choose their political agendas over her. And for some reason that just makes them both more attractive. Or at least interesting.
Will I read more?
The real question is, Can I stand not having more to read without my head exploding? I stayed up well past my bedtime to finish reading My Boyfriend Merlin. And then the next day at work I may have had to download the second one onto my phone and read it in between tasks (Mom, pretend you didn't see that last sentence.) And then, once I ran out of more to read, I went back and reread the best parts of both books. Multiple times. When I was supposed to be doing other things. And now I am in agony because I have to wait for the third one.
This first book in the My Merlin Series is one of those books that is just plain fun to read! It's a great mix up of the Merlin legend with a completely unique spin that just pulls you in and keeps you hooked right to the end.
When a tremor rocks the world the mythological sword in the stone appears and the world will never be the same again. The characters in this story range from an "average" high school student named Ryan (who also happens to be the most main of the main characters), to Merlin himself along with a slew of others which include wizards, gargoyles, and more! I don't want to go into anymore detail about individual characters because I don't want to ruin any possible surprises for you so I'll leave it on the vague side for you. Each character brings something new to the book and advances the storyline and it's always a good idea to keep in mind the people you meet along the way, because you never know when you might meet up with them again later.
This book moves along quickly so you don't get those moments of pause or reflections. You just keep on going! At times the story seems to move a little too fast or move too quickly into a new scene or sequence, but the author generally pulls it back in smoothly and gets back on track fast enough. This first book is the perfect set up for the two remaining books in the series. Not only does it introduce you to the characters, it introduces you to Excalibur!
It's so hard to write this review without giving anything away, especially since I went and read all three books before writing the reviews. I just couldn't be bothered pausing in reading long enough and had to get to the end to see how it would all end up! Since the first book is free on (I am not sure if that is a forever price or a for now price, but as of this review the first one is free), even though I'd recommend it regardless, you really have absolutely nothing to lose giving it a shot. Personally, I really enjoyed it and think a lot of others will as well.
