Industrial Magic - Kelley Armstrong

Description: ISBN 0553587072 / Author: Kelley Armstrong / Genre: Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Set in a supernatural but credible underworld of industrial baron sorcerers and psychologically crippled witches, the fourth novel in Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series (after Dime Store Magic) ... more

Industrial Magic - Kelley Armstrong ... follows young renegade witch Paige Winterbourne as she pitches a group of uptight business-suited witches to join her alternative coven, which she claims will re-empower the new generation. It's a task made nearly impossible by Paige's romantic association with sorcerer/lawyer Lucas Cortez; in Armstrong's world, witches and sorcerers are bitter enemies. Lucas aims to bring down the mafia-like cabal to which he's heir apparent, but this goal and Paige's are put on the back burner when someone starts murdering the children of rival cabal leaders. In their hunt for the killer, Paige and Lucas must rely on a number of unpromising allies: a vicious aging vampire, a TV celebrity necromancer and the ghost mom of an adolescent witch who may be the murderer's next victim. As in the author's first book, Bitten (which introduced the world's only female werewolf, Elena, who also figures in this plot), breakneck action is tempered by deep psychological insights, intense sensuality and considerable humor.

in reading this book, my biggest tip would be to start with the very first "Women of the otherworld" book, and start from there. Whilst this isnt compulsory, I think "personal demon" is far more enjoyable when you have a grasp of the backstory.

You know when a book is something special when the minute that you pick it up you have to physically struggle with yourself to put it down again. Bitten is one of those books. This book is excellent, a funny, fast-paced, thriller, written in the first person. The best I have read for a long while. The story is about Elena, the only female werewolf in existence. It begins with Elena in her flat in Toronto at 2am, where she is fighting her natural urge ?to Change?. Her live-in boyfriend is human and is entirely unaware of what she is, so she must be very careful to conceal her true identity. Doing so is not easy, and she has to keep on coming up with new stories to tell him for ...
