The Uncanny Raven Winston: The Cassie Black Trilogy, Book Two

Ever have one of those weeks? You've taken an overdose of magic, you've melted a twelve-year-old girl, and Magic HQ has sent a letter "requesting" you come by to discuss your magic control issues.

No? Just me, then?

I don't want to go. I've got a boss in a wheelchair (my fault), a zombie cat who demands his treats on schedule, and no interest in sorting out the quirks of another magical community.

But when someone slips me information tying my parents' disappearance to HQ, I can't pack my bags quickly enough.

I'm soon destroying historical displays, befriending befuddled ghosts, and focusing more on uncovering the truth about my past than on learning how to rein in my magic. Which, considering what might happen if I fail the test HQ has for me… Well, best not to think about that.

This second book of the Cassie Black Trilogy squeezes you through a magic portal, lodges you in a secret corner of the Tower of London, and plunges you into a tale of mysterious mishaps, peculiar ravens, and TV-binging trolls.

If you like comic fantasy whodunits with plenty of wry humor, a cast of unforgettable characters, a touch of paranormal mystery, and piles of pastries, you'll find it hard to pry yourself away from The Uncanny Raven Winston.

Perfect for fans of:

* Comic fantasy whodunits with magical mayhem, wry humor, and a paranormal mystery with enough layers to make a chocolate cake jealous

* Unruly magic hiding in the back of closets and secret corners of the Tower of London—where things have a tendency to go spectacularly wrong

* Accident-prone heroines chasing answers about their past while trying not to make their lives—both magical and non-magical—considerably worse

* C.K. McDonnell, Jodi Taylor, and Ben Aaronovitch, with witty banter, quirky supernatural creatures, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting—including TV-binging trolls, befuddled ghosts, and sentient garden gnomes.
