Overview

""Fans of early Anita Blake will definitely appreciate this!"" ""I highly recommend this book - and I can't wait for the next in the series!"" ""The novel expertly balances suspense and supernatural elements"" Maddy Madrigal doesn't believe she's magic. If she were, she wouldn't be busting her butt every day working for the Los Angeles Police Department's Occult Affairs division, rounding up the strange and nasty entities unleashed by the last earthquake. At forty, if she were magic, she'd have less aggravation and more money. So, when a security job opens up in an exclusive gated community, she takes it. Better money, great perks, and best of all, no entities. At first, her problems are solved-the job's great, she's made new friends, and a good-looking man has caught her eye. She even has time to cook her favorite Mexican dishes while her new cat watches, though there's something not quite right about him. But the fancy neighborhood she was hired to protect hides a secret: something supernatural is attacking the residents, and as Maddy tries to unravel the mystery, she discovers a secret of her own: she may have inherited magical abilities from her famous great aunt, a Mexican witch. With monsters roaming the hilly streets, residents up in arms, and her boss breathing down her neck, Maddy must decide how far she's willing to go to preserve her new life. Barely Magic is the first book in Maddy Madrigal Mysteries, a new urban fantasy series from Debra Castaneda, the award-winning author of The Monsters of Chavez Ravine and the Dark Earth Rising series including The Root Witch and A Dark and Rising Tide.
