MAGIC ON THE
HUNT, Devon Monk
(ROC, 4/5/2011, $7.99, Allie Beckstrom)
In the secret lockup of the Authority an undead magic user has possessed one of

NIGHTMARES, Christopher Golden (ACE, 3/29/2011, $7.99, Peter Octavian)
Peter Octavian, once a vampire, now a powerful mage, has been living a quiet
life in San Francisco. But when the barriers that used to prevent demons and

he can to hold back the darkness.
SHADY LADY,
Ann Aguirre (ROC,
4/5/2011, $7.99, Corine Solomon)
Whenever Corine Solomon touches an object, she immediately knows its history.
But the future concerns her more when former ally Kel Ferguson walks through
her door with a warning for her: the Montoya cartel is coming for her- but they
don’t just pack guns. They use warlocks, shamans, and voodoo priests. And
Corine has become enemy number one.
BLACK
BLADE BLUES, J.A.
Pitts (TOR, April 2011, $7.99)
Sarah Beauhall has more on her plate than most twenty-somethings: day job as a
blacksmith, night job as a props manager for low-budget movies, and her free
time is spent fighting in a medieval reenactment group. After the lead actor
breaks Sarah’s favorite, one-of-a-kind sword, one of the extras- who claims to
be a dwarf- offers to help repair the blade. And that’s when things start to
get weird. Sarah will have to decide if she can reject what is safe and become
the heroine who is needed to save her world.
