Book Description
When the most powerful mage in North America hires me to solve a case, I accept it, because I need the money and know I'll get paid well if I solve it. Turns out that one of the most dangerous magical criminals ever--whose power equals that of the Master Mages themselves--has escaped from prison. His goal: Kill my grandfather, who helped put him behind bars decades ago and who is also currently too old to defend himself. The case seems simple enough, but as always, there is more to it than meets the eye. If I can't figure out what the criminal is really trying to do, paying rent this month will be the last of my worries.

When a pretty young woman comes to me for help in finding her father, I accept, even though I don't need the money. Seems like a simple case and maybe I'll even get the woman's number after this is over. But when it turns out that her father was kidnapped by a cult run by half-demon/half-human hybrids hellbent on reuniting the forces of Hell, I find myself racing against time to stop them before it's too late. Yet I might already be out of time to stop them.

Book Description
In this extraordinary fantasy epic, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden Files leads readers into a world where the fate of the realm rests on the shoulders of a boy with no power to call his own... For a thousand years, the people of Alera have united against the aggressive and threatening races that inhabit the world, using their unique bond with the furies—elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal. But in the remote Calderon Valley, the boy Tavi struggles with his lack of furycrafting. At fifteen, he has no wind fury to help him fly, no fire fury to light his lamps. Yet as the Alerans’ most savage enemy—the Marat horde—return to the Valley, Tavi’s courage and resourcefulness will be a power greater than any fury, one that could turn the tides of war...

Book Description
In the tradition of his renowned father, James J. Butcher’s debut novel is a brilliant urban fantasy about a young man who must throw out the magical rule book to solve the murder of his former mentor. On the streets of Boston, the world is divided into the ordinary Usuals, and the paranormal Unorthodox. And in the Department of Unorthodox Affairs, the Auditors are the magical elite, government-sanctioned witches with spells at their command and all the power and prestige that comes with it. Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby is…not one of those witches. After flunking out of the Auditor training program and being dismissed as “not Department material,” Grimsby tried to resign himself to life as a mediocre witch. But he can’t help hoping he’ll somehow, someway, get another chance to prove his skill. That opportunity comes with a price when his former mentor, aka the most dangerous witch alive, is murdered down the street from where he works, and Grimsby is the Auditors’ number one suspect. Proving his innocence will require more than a little legwork, and after forming a strange alliance with the retired legend known as the Huntsman and a mysterious being from Elsewhere, Grimsby is abruptly thrown into a life of adventure, whether he wants it or not. Now all he has to do is find the real killer, avoid the Auditors on his trail, and most importantly, stay alive.
