Unfortunately, I have not had the pleasure of the reading Magic in the Shadows; but I can tell you without a doubt this is one of my favorite series. This is the cover for the fifth book in the series that is due for release November of 2010. Allie Beckstrom is a kick ass heroine with an attitude that all readers will love. Devon Monk is a talented author that continues to keep her readers guessing in from one book to the next.
