The first book in our list today is very special to Magical Musings. Our dear friend, Liz Kreger, who was a founding member of this blog, passed away late last year. As a tribute to her, Edie, Amy and myself, along with our original critique group, have pulled together to publish Liz’s book, When Darkness Falls. Not only is it an amazing read, it’s testament to the strength of an amazing woman. We’re very happy to say When Darkness Falls is now available.
Book title: When Darkness Falls
Book author: Liz Kreger
Book blurb: When the world descended into disease-driven chaos a thousand years ago, survivors had to choose which deity to serve. Riona Northstar elected to follow The Lady. After hundreds of years of service, restoring the planet to a balance with nature, Riona is weary and ready to rest. However, a seemingly chance meeting with a young girl could lead to her most difficult task yet.
The Lady’s brother, the Dark Lord, is restless and grows weary of waiting for his turn to rule. He intends to wrest power from The Lady and plunge the world back into darkness.
Riona will need all her centuries of experience, plus the help of a mysterious wizard named Finnegan, to unravel the Dark Lord’s plans and figure out how the young girl holds the key to saving the world.

Book title: Fandemic
Book author: Jennifer Estep
Book blurb: Piper Perez has always wanted to be a superhero. Always wanted to wear a cool costume, have amazing abilities, and save the day. There’s just one problem—Piper doesn’t have any superpowers.
So she focuses on other things. Facts, figures, memorabilia. Piper knows and collects it all, about both the superheroes and the ubervillains who roam the streets of Bigtime, N.Y. Piper’s friends jokingly call her a fandemic—someone who is a superfan of all things superhero. The nickname is truer than anyone knows, especially since Piper can’t stop thinking about Swifte, the speedy hero who broke her heart months ago.
But someone has been killing off Bigtime’s heroes and villains. When one of Piper’s friends is murdered, she vows to do whatever she can to help bring the killer to justice, superpowers or not. All the clues and information she gathers lead her to believe that Swifte is the killer’s next target. Piper has always wanted to be a hero, and now she’ll have to use all of her fandemic knowledge to save the man she loves—or die trying….

Book title: Neverwylde
Book author: Linda Mooney
Book blurb: Two species, bitter enemies, are determined to destroy each other, until they realize they need one another to survive a major catastrophe.
As they race through a nebulous space anomaly in the midst of battle, the Terrans and Seneecians are blown through a wormhole to crash land on an uncharted world. A half world. A world containing the remains of a long-dead civilization.
Lt. Kelen Chambliss knows she has no reason to trust the furred, humanoid creatures, but she and her crew members cannot survive without their help, and the Seneecians cannot survive without theirs. Neither can she ignore the fearsome-looking one called Kyber, with his wicked talons and piercing green eyes.
As they slowly come to realize there is no escape or forthcoming rescue from the barren planet, Kelen learns there is much about the enemy she never knew. Including the fact that Kyber’s formidable appearance hides a strong, brave, and caring heart.

Book title: Suddenly One Summer
Book author: Julie James
Book blurb: Divorce lawyer Victoria Slade has seen enough unhappy endings to swear off marriage forever. That doesn’t mean she’s opposed to casual dating—just not with her cocky new neighbor, who is as gorgeous and tempting as he is off-limits. But once she agrees to take on his sister’s case, she’s as determined to win as ever—even if that means teaming up with Ford….
Investigative journalist Ford Dixon is bent on finding the man who got his sister pregnant and left her high and dry. He’s willing to partner with Victoria, despite the fact that the beautiful brunette gets under his skin like no other woman. He might not be looking to settle down, but there’s no denying the scorching attraction between them. Still, the more time he spends with Victoria, the more he realizes that the one woman as skeptical about love as he is might be the only woman he could really fall for…
