A Spell for the Revolution, by C.C. Finlay

A Spell for the Revolution (book two in the Traitor to the Crown series) picks up almost where The Patriot Witch leaves off--a year or so down the road, with the battle for freedom growing ever deeper and more desperate. Washington's troops are struggling, and it's not only the British they're fighting. The Covenant, a group of witches determined to have their way in this battle, is growing in power. Add to this, the powers of a Hessian necromancer, who has chained dead souls to the living. Proctor and Deborah are still together, fighting to keep their own small band of witches together, witches determined to do good and fight the Covenant. The Farm has become a haven for them, though one the Covenant is determined to shatter. Read more!

The Patriot Witch, by C.C. Finlay

It's April, 1775, the time of year when a young man's mind turns to romance, cattle, and his poor fashion options. Young Proctor Brown has many things on his mind, not the least of which is his attempted courtship of loyalist Emily Rucke. Her father is none too pleased by the pairing and Proctor means to change his mind. Matters are complicated by the fact that Proctor is a farmer, a militiaman, and a witch. It's no easy thing being a witch in 1775 New England. It's a thing Proctor's mother has tried to keep well hidden, to the point she hasn't taught her son much about their abilities. Proctor can scry some, but often doesn't understand what he sees. He longs to get a grasp on his talents, and after a muster goes horribly wrong, he is given the opportunity to do just that...

The Trouble With Demons, by Lisa Shearin

Raine Benares is back and it doesn't take long for her day to go from not-so-bad to hell. Literally. Who knew shopping could be so hazardous? It's only been two weeks since she became the unlucky bond servant of the Saghred, an all-powerful rock everyone wants to get their hands on. In this third book, the adventure continues and Raine's personal entanglements become even more complicated than her magical ones. But back to shopping. Raine's running out of clothes! So, with her cousin Phaelan and ever-present bodyguard Vegard in tow, she goes shopping. And runs into naked blue demons only she can see. Battle happens, a mage dies, and Raine manages to contain a big purple demon in a wine bottle with Tam's help...even though Tam isn't anywhere near where she is. Read on...

Cybermancy, by Kelly McCullough

Things have gotten even more complicated since the last time we saw Ravirn. Picking up where WebMage left off, Cybermancy continues Ravirn's story in a world that's a bit more magical than ours. This time, he makes an oath to save his girlfriend Cerice's webgoblin, Shara (and, consequently, Cerice's Ph.D. thesis which resides in Shara). Unfortunately, due to circumstances during his last adventure, Shara and her soul ended up in Hades and Ravirn takes it upon himself to get her back. It doesn't take Ravirn long to realize that he's changed since the last adventure. After all, he'd been cast out of the house of Fate and his name revoked. However, his aunt Clotho bequeathed him a new name: Raven. But Ravirn doesn't want to be Raven. He wants to be Ravirn... Read on...
