“I just blew up something with magic!”
“That was not the point.”
Over 1000 pages of laugh-snort comic fantasy, unforgettable characters, and magic-filled mystery.
This collection includes the first three books of The Cassie Black Trilogy. Yes, the “first” three, because trilogies refuse to be tamed!
So what's inside?
The Undead Mr. Tenpenny : Cassie Black works at a funeral home. She's used to all manner of dead bodies. What she's not used to is them waking up. Which they seem to be doing on a disturbingly regular basis lately.
The Uncanny Raven Winston : Ever have one of those weeks? You've taken an overdose of magic, you've just melted a twelve-year-old girl, and Magic HQ has sent a letter "requesting" you come by to discuss your magic control issues. No? Just me, then?
The Untangled Cassie Black : Cassie Black has just lost two people through a magic portal. Her archenemy, the Mauvais, is threatening to destroy city after city if Magic HQ doesn't hand her over to him...and HQ isn't exactly saying no to that offer.
Perfect for readers who like:
Comic fantasy mysteries where the stakes are high, the magic is unruly, and saving the world doesn't mean you have to miss out on pastries
Reluctant heroines who'd really rather not get involved—but aren't about to sit around while evil wizards threaten to destroy the world
Magical mayhem involving surveillance gnomes, slithering bookworms, overcharged magical batteries, and curses that have a nasty habit of flying in every direction
C.K. McDonnell, Jodi Taylor, and Ben Aaronovitch's darkly humorous contemporary fantasy, supernatural mysteries, unforgettable characters, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting
About the Series
The Cassie Black Trilogy is a fish-out-of-water tale that takes you from the streets of Portland to the Tower of London. It's got magic, mishaps, and mystery, pastries, ghosts, zombies, sentient gnomes and an evil wizard...because there's always an evil wizard, isn't there?
Note: These books are mostly clean, with very limited cursing and no hanky panky except for a couple of kisses here and there.
