Allison Beckstrom has willingly paid the price of pain to use magic, and has obeyed the rules of the Authority, the clandestine organization that makes-and enforces-all magic policy. But when the Authority's new boss, Bartholomew Wray, refuses to believe that the sudden rash of deaths in Portland might be caused by magic, Allie must choose to follow the Authority's rules, or turn against the very people for whom she's risked her life.

To stop the plague of dark magic spreading through the city, all that she values will be on the line: her magic, her memories, her life. Now, as dead magic users rise to feed upon the innocent and the people closest to her begin to fall, Allie is about to run out of options. (Goodreads)

Magic on the Line by Devon Monk was a great Urban Fantasy. It was a new twist on magic and soul mates. It had magic, suspense, love and friendship. Allie has to make a choice as to whether or not she will follow the Authority or go rogue and help save thousands of people. There is something wrong with the magic and people are becoming ill and dying. The Authority knows of the problem and refuses to cooperate. With the help of her Soul Complement, Zay, and a few rogue friends they put together a plan to save the city and all the innocent people. 

I loved the ending...can you say cliffhanger!! I cannot say if success was achieved because I have to read the next novel in the series, and I totally will! I highly recommend reading this series in order; it would be helpful with the characters and their roles in the storyline. Devon Monk is a new favorite author of mine!
