Fairies, and shadelings, and water wives, OH MY!!! Ironspark by C.M. McGuire is the snarky urban fantasy I had no idea I needed. As far as openings go, this quote really sets up expectations remarkably well. We know magic exists. And we know that whatever we think we know about magical creatures is, well, sixty [...]
"How can we fight prejudices if we do nothing to change it? If we allow it to fester, what's the point?" It’s official. I will read anything @tjklunebooks writes. ANYTHING!!! This book. THIS BOOK!!!

"The problem with your best friend dying is that there's no one to sit with you at funerals." Being a teenage witch in a small town isn't easy. But at least life was easier with best friend and fellow amateur witch, Riley, by her side. When two girls from their High School die in an [...]
"We were all villains in the beginning." Renegades, though made to feel as if ripped from the pages of comics, is actually far from the typical comic-book style story.
