KINDLING THE MOON by Jenn Bennett

"First in a Brand New Urban Fantasy Series Brings Humor and Danger As Well As a Surprise Ending"

Arcadia "Cady" Bell has been living way under the radar from the moment her parents went into hiding after being wrongfully accused of a series of ritual murders of the leaders of magical orders. Her parents faked the family's death and Cady built a brand new life at age seventeen. In the past seven years she has managed to build a life as a co-owner of a bar catering to earthbound demons (who look pretty much like humans except for their auras) and kept her head down and her eyes on the goal of keeping her parents safe from the revenge of the survivors of the murder. Unable to approach any of the groups of magic users without endangering her parents, she has taught herself how to use her unique (even among magicians) talents. If not happy, life at least was mostly safe until her parents were caught on camera at a gas station whipping up the brouhaha again.

Her only chance to save her parents and herself is to track down the Aetheric demon who truly murdered the leaders and compel it to reveal who commanded it to kill so many years ago. In the process of searching she gains the help of Lon, an earthbound demon and famous photographer with a wacky and charming teenaged son. With his help and connections, she has a slim chance to avoid paying for the deaths with her own life.

KINDLING THE MOON is the first in a new series featuring Arcadia Bell. Filled with humor as well as danger, the story kept me riveted from the first page to last with a surprise ending that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Jenn Bennett is an award winning visual artist but this first book proves she has all the writing skilz she needs to succeed in this field as well. Book two of the series, Summoning the Night is due out in April 2012.

Book Summary

Meet Arcadia Bell: bartender, renegade magician, fugitive from the law. . . .

Being the spawn of two infamous occultists (and alleged murderers) isn’t easy, but freewheeling magician Arcadia “Cady” Bell knows how to make the best of a crummy situation. After hiding out for seven years, she’s carved an incognito niche for herself slinging drinks at the demon-friendly Tambuku Tiki Lounge.

But she receives an ultimatum when unexpected surveillance footage of her notorious parents surfaces: either prove their innocence or surrender herself. Unfortunately, the only witness to the crimes was an elusive Æthyric demon, and Cady has no idea how to find it. She teams up with Lon Butler, an enigmatic demonologist with a special talent for sexual spells and an arcane library of priceless stolen grimoires. Their research soon escalates into a storm of conflict involving missing police evidence, the decadent Hellfire Club, a ruthless bounty hunter, and a powerful occult society that operates way outside the law.

If Cady can’t clear her family name soon, she'll be forced to sacrifice her own life . . . and no amount of running will save her this time.
