Fantasy Urban

Devon Monk has followed up her debut novel with another book you won't want to put down. Allison Beckstrom's abilities with magic have increased dramatically since her brush with death. Her memory has gotten worse. She keeps a log of all that she does each day to remind her.

Along with her increasing ability to tap the magic, Allison is now seeing ghosts whenever she uses the magic. They attack her; causing painful injuries. When she first sees her father's ghost, Allison has a feeling that trouble will follow.

Now, she's been hired by the police to identify someone who is abducting young girls. A mobster has stolen some of her blood and is using it to bind her to him. A creepy neighbor seems to be stalking her. She's got to deal with the company her father left her and there is something causing the magic Hounds to disappear. What more could go wrong?

What Allison discovers will lead to the exposure of the worst abuse of magic that the community has ever seen. Allison will be forced to drastic measures which will change her forever.

Paranormal fans take note of this author's name. She's a fabulous storyteller who will draw you into her world and keep you enthralled as you follow her characters through incredible adventures. This is another book you won't want to miss.

SUMMARY

Working as a Hound—tracing illegal spells back to their casters—has taken its toll on Allison Beckstrom. But even though magic has given her migraines and stolen her recent memory, Allie isn’t about to quit. Then the police’s magic enforcement division asks her to consult on a missing persons case. But what seems to be a straightforward job turns out to be anything but, as Allie finds herself drawn into the underworld of criminals, ghosts, and blood magic.
