Modern Magic

Magic is real, fairies are assholes, and everyone knew about it but me... Sera Allen needs a change. The family house she inherits is the perfect place for a fresh start, except for the sexy neighbor she'd ditched years before and the surprise fairies living across the street. Before long, she's neck-deep in magic, Fae, and zombie bunnies, and her tenuous connection to her powers relies on the one man she wants to avoid. Jake Thomas is happy in his mundane life. Magic is for other people. Until the girl who'd broken his heart moves back home and he finds himself drawn into the world of the Fae. She needs his help, but can he trust her to stick around this time when things get rough? With a dark force threatening the town, they'll have to face their pasts and overcome their distrust to have any chance at a future. Together they can make magic, but will it be enough?

If the dragons don't kill you, the deadlines will. At the Tower of Jackdaw and Spittlelick, magic isn't wild or romantic. It's regulated, audited, and buried under paperwork. Ivy Armstride is a junior mage trying to survive a workplace where spells misfire, mentors are eccentric at best, and magical disasters are quietly filed away. Her job is to keep things running smoothly-not to ask questions. But when a strange tree appears in the Tower's foyer, dragons start circling overhead, and a charming client requests the impossible, Ivy is forced to choose between following the rules that hold the system together . . . or confronting what those rules are really protecting. Modern Magic is a witty, character-driven urban fantasy that blends sharp satire with genuine heart. For readers who enjoy fantasy in the vein of Terry Pratchett, Ben Aaronovitch, and Jasper Fforde.
