Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Beginning:
Life-changing moments are sneaky little bastards.Friday 56:
"You are thinking very hard for someone who pretends to know nothing," Alek said, interrupting my half-conscious train of thought.When my current book quit working for me, I browsed my Kindle for something I hadn't read yet and chose Justice Calling by Annie Bellet. It is the first book in The Twenty-Sided Sorceress series. It was free for my Kindle when I first downloaded it and still is when I'm doing this post. Here is the description from Amazon:
"I don't know anything, not really. It's all speculation."
Gamer. Nerd. Sorceress.
Jade Crow lives a quiet life running her comic book and game store in Wylde, Idaho. After twenty-five years fleeing from a powerful sorcerer who wants to eat her heart and take her powers, quiet suits her just fine. Surrounded by friends who are even less human than she is, Jade figures she's finally safe.
As long as she doesn't use her magic.
When dark powers threaten her friends' lives, a sexy shape-shifter enforcer shows up. He's the shifter world's judge, jury, and executioner rolled into one, and he thinks Jade is to blame. To clear her name, save her friends, and stop the villain, she'll have to use her wits... and her sorceress powers.
Except Jade knows that as soon as she does, a far deadlier nemesis awaits.
Justice Calling is the first book in the USA Today Bestselling The Twenty-Sided Sorceress urban fantasy series. Readers who enjoyed The Dresden Files or The Iron Druid Chronicles will likely enjoy this series.
This sounds like fun. I just added it to my TBR pile
