by Suzanne Johnson
Genre: urban fantasy
Release date: November 13, 2012 by Tor Books

Hurricane Katrina is long gone, but the preternatural storm rages on in New Orleans. New species from the Beyond moved into Louisiana after the hurricane destroyed the borders between worlds, and it falls to wizard sentinel Drusilla Jaco and her partner, Alex Warin, to keep the preternaturals peaceful and the humans unaware.

Wizards are dying, and something—or someone—from the Beyond is poisoning the waters of the mighty Mississippi, threatening the humans who live and work along the river. DJ and Alex must figure out what unearthly source is contaminating the water and who—or what—is killing …

OPERATION CINDERELLA & the Suddenly Cinderella Series:
Characters Welcome by Hope Tarr
What makes a novel sparkle, truly sparkle? For me it all comes down to one deceptively simple word – character.
Give me characters that I can care about–cry when they cry, laugh when they laugh, and yes, bleed when they bleed – and I’ll forgive an author a plot hole as big …

Around The Bookish World: Week-In-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post! This week have news of a major glitch which led to the majority of the Big 6 books to become delisted on Amazon, Outlander has been greenlit to be turned into a series and much more!
Late last night, Twitter was ablaze with the news that Amazon has started to remove the buy buttons from the Big 6 Kindle books. Whilst in the past this has happened due to the introduction of Agency agreement which led to a standoff, it seems in this case the delisting was a glitch which only affected the US site, while the international counterparts were not affected.
