MEET THE NEWESTprofessor at Gooseberry Bluff Community College of Magic, Joy Wilkins. She may suffer from face blindness, but Joy can still recognize people by reading their auras--a skill that comes in particularly handy for her real work as an undercover agent with the Federal Bureau of Magical Affairs. Her mission: to discover the source of weaponized demons being trafficked through the quaint school on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin, and to locate her predecessor, the school's missing History of Magic professor. But just as her investigation gets under way, the brutal murder of Joy's handler--and mentor--sets her on the trail of a secret society known as the Thirteenth Rib. With the clock ticking down to the next attack, Joy will have to find new allies and uncover ancient secrets if she's going to have any chance of defeating a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the entire world.… (lisätietoja)

"We have resources," said Cyril Lanfair.
Lutrineas groaned. "My sister has assassins, or did you forget that already? She has librarians. Police officers. Meter maids. Army captains. Agents provocateurs." Something flashed outside the window, followed a moment later by a sound like something igniting. "Like that one, probably." (

There was way too much story for this book. That isn't to say that I didn't like it, because I did. I liked it very much. I had fun with it. But there was so much going on, so much to do in the book's universe, that it couldn't be accomplished in the space and format allotted.

I like what the book and the author tried to do. I'll read the sequel I'm assuming will exist. But I really, really hope the next book is tighter. (

I can't rate things with six stars and that thought is very annoying right now. Diverse cast, excellent protagonist, ease with perspective shift, awesome world-building (the kind that is not overly descriptive but also not so vague that you don't know how anything works). I had a lot of fun reading this book, and am willing to admit the fun I was having may have colored my impression of things like plot cohesion and pacing. But the fact that it could do that was enough. Do yourself a favor and read this. (

This is actually one of the best fantasy novels I have read in a long time. Schwartz steps away from the trite and overdone supposedly fantasy genre vampire and werewolf supernatural novels to create a world of magic where the characters are both believable and fantastical. Having read a good many supernatural thrillers I can tell you that Joy Wilson has become one of my favorite supernatural detectives.

While there were some issues with formatting this is simply the nature of the Kindle translation itself and it does not detract from the plot or the characters. I would recommend this book to anyone aged 15 and up. Specifically I would say if you liked Harry Potter, or the Worst Witch series as a child and adolescent you will like this book. (

I completed episode 1. I think this is going to be a good story. I have not read any of the Harry Potter books but I see this as being a similar type story.

I just read episode 2. Not too sure about this. There was only one chapter this time and it was kinda slow going. I am really hoping it picks up in the next episode.

ok episode 3 was much better! it's getting good now!! it ended in a terrific cliffhanger. now sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for #4!!

Just finished episode 4. It was really good. This book is getting better as it goes thank goodness. Anxious for Episode 5 now. (
