Author and artist Jordan Castillo Price writes paranormal sci-fi thrillers colored by her time in the Midwest, from inner city Chicago, to various cities across southern Wisconsin. She’s settled in a 1910 Cape Cod near Lake Michigan with tons of character and a plethora of bizarre spiders. Any disembodied noises, she’s decided, will be blamed on the ice maker.
Jordan is best known as the author of the PsyCop series, an unfolding tale of paranormal mystery and suspense starring Victor Bayne, a gay medium who's plagued by ghostly visitations.
There’s is a world of magic, but none of the magic is real. It used to be that people of the sky and people of the clay could combine their energies in harmony to work great spells. Now the sky-born have infused a few stones with their essence and returned to the clouds. With these, the people of clay can only manage some cheep illusions. Without a stone of his own, Casey doesn’t have much hope of advancing as an agency mage, but he’s always wanted to do magic so any other life path seems out of the question. Then he meets Azure, one is the sky folk, a being made of magic and the life they build together transcends illusion.
Inn B likes the world building, although it was rushed in places and had some holes that needed a bit of development. The characters were ok. Two dimensional but adequate for the story line.
