New Release A van full of handcuffed criminals speeds towards the Dark Tow- er. What could go wrong? A lot, apparently. Especially when Jax’s assassin happens to be in the vehicle destined for oblivion. She uses the term ‘assassin’ loosely, of course, because Darick also happens to be a stalker, a spy, a healer mage, and her num- ber one crush. But this is no love story. Sure, there’s a woman being haunted by her dead husband. And the new captain of the paranormal special ops force who doesn’t hide his obsession for a certain kick-ass detective of the girl wizard variety. And a magical albino ferret who has a deep and abiding affection for popcorn. (Yes, popcorn. But go easy on the salt.) So: Spells, yes. Explosions, yes. Killer sharks … maybe. And a whole lot of magic, adventure, and mayhem. But this is certainly no love story. FOLLOW JT
