#10 Three Kinds of Lucky by Kim Harrison

 

This is a new series and setting for Kim Harrison. Magic is not out in the open and there are 3 types of users, but only two are recognized by the community and the third one is actively hunted down.  Mages are at the top and sweepers are considered the necessary magic garbage men cleaning up the dross left over from using spells. Dross causes bad luck so no one wants it.  The third type of magic user is a spinner and they are not welcome at all and hunted down by the mages. Petra is a sweeper like her late father and works through the university cleaning up dross.  Her boss pleads with her to take a job at a new project that may have a new way of storing dross.  But something goes wrong at the uni dross storage site and it looks like a bomb has gone off on campus and she is now being hunted down by a separatist group of mages that want to rule everyone.  A well thought out magic system with and interesting premise and I can’t wait for the next book.
