\n
Snyder\u2019s debut is the first in a new urban-fantasy series starring twentysomething Jessie, an apprentice witch, and her wizard tutor and lover, Cooper. Both Jessie and Cooper have animal-shaped familiars (demons in disguise) to assist with their magic. All hell breaks loose when Jessie and Cooper start a rain spell in the city park, and a reality-shifting portal arrives along with the storm. Jessie barely survives the mayhem and soon finds herself on the outs with the local magic community after she insists on hunting down and rescuing Cooper. This fast-paced urban fantasy has a few twists that make it stand out from the pack. Yes, the plot moves quickly, but that doesn\u2019t stop Snyder from developing her characters and building her world. Fans of Kim Harrison\u2019s Rachel Morgan series should be pleased with Jessie, another butt-kicking witch who doesn\u2019t let anyone tell her what to do.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
