Hard Magic

Today's book is Hard Magic by Laura Anne Gilman.

Bonnie is like many of us out there. She has a college degree and now has to do that one thing we all have to do once we get that degree. It's time to find a job. She is a little different though. She is a talent. Someone who can use magic.


After rejection and more rejection, she gets a call. Two other talents want her and other talents to join them. They are forming an investigation team. Think C.S.I with magic.

She takes the job and tries to help solve a murder that involves two talents. At least they think it's a murder. Everyone else thinks it's a suicide. The team will have to do all the research or spells to figure out who is responsible.

At the same time though, Bonnie is learning you probably shouldn't mix work and pleasure. I liked this book. You get to mix a mystery and urban fantasy together. Maybe I do watch too much C.S.I, but I was reminded of it. Not in a bad way, lol. Even if you aren't a fan of the show, you'll like it.

You do get to see a tiny, very tiny bit of romance but if there is more romance in her future, I have someone in mind, that I wouldn't mind her being with.
