Synopsis

In my world, magic is an everyday thing. It’s on street corners; it’s in our schools, our homes and even our governments. Magic carpets share the sky with jets, international boxing shares air time with magical duellists. It’s a whole mess, but then nobody consulted me before outing every mage on the planet.My twin brother is a Wizard, and thinks he’s the only magician in the family. It’s actually a little funny that he hasn’t suspected anything different in the last seventeen years, what with my constantly needing to keep his idiot face out of danger and stupidity, but that’s not today’s problem.You see, someone’s trying to kill him. It started off with a shadow monster that was all but immune to my magic attacking him at school, and it went steadily downhill from there, meandering through an encounter with a succubus (a species I was told categorically didn’t exist anymore), to nearly getting abducted by murderous homeless men and blasted by the government’s anti-magic police, and that was just Monday!While I’m trying to help the idiot, I’m also doing my level best to keep him from finding out about my own powers (which are frankly so sinister that I was terrified of my own shadow for the first decade of my life), and make sure that in my blundering about trying to solve a mystery I can’t trust the Supernatural Crimes Authority to investigate correctly, I don’t draw the attention of the people with horrific monsters at their beck and call.Family can be such a pain…

But shadows stir.

The dark secrets of his homeland haunt him. His sister—Selina—learns that she is what she hates most. And unfriendly, monstrous eyes track him.

As he tries to live a normal life, he must risk danger to uncover dark secrets, survive the wrath of those that call upon demons, and avoid the gaze of a hunter from an ancient enemy.

…and that is when the murders begin.

Oh, and he still has to make sure he can pay tuition.

Sufficiently Advanced Magic

★ 4.11

Andrew Rowe

Five years ago, Corin Cadence’s brother entered the Serpent Spire — a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire’s trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire’s goddess.

He never returned.

Now, it’s Corin’s turn. He’s headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

If he can survive the trials, Corin will earn an attunement, but that won’t be sufficient to survive the dangers on the upper levels. For that, he’s going to need training, allies, and a lot of ingenuity.

The journey won’t be easy, but Corin won’t stop until he gets his brother back.

When Mike Radley's magical home grew another floor, he thought he knew what to expect.

He didn't expect a kingdom of portal-chewing rats to be living between his walls.

Monster’s Mercy

★ 4.5

William D. Arand

An existence spent being forced to kill others to satiate a Monster. Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe. Except that very same Monster is and isn’t Rene. It just happened to live inside his own mind and force him to do what it wanted. Rather than being an actual Monster. That was Rene’s entire life until a fateful day changed that. A day that the career as a hitman for hire built on the Monster’s needs will end. Where Rene will be forced to atone for his actions. To be held accountable and judged. Except the verdict is already long since passed and needs no deliberation. His sentence was being sent hundreds of years into the past, into a different world even, where he must live a life for the betterment of others. Every action judged as it happens and weighed out against him.
But even this new idyllic life he’s been living in for eighteen years is about to go off the rails and Rene will be forced back into a life lived in the underworld. Armed with a few gifts granted to him by the one who judged him, gifts better suited to a fantasy about living in a video game, Rene has to maneuver his way back to his new life while using all the things he’d learned in his old one. Except using those skills is a double-edged sword. If he’s not careful, he’ll end up right back where he started. Dead and on his way to hell.

Warning and minor: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, forced political marriage (and consummation), and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Read at your own risk.
