#3 Dirty Magic by Jaye Wells

[missingvolume]

This was the first book I think I read some sample chapters and asked the publisher for a review copy. I'm glad to say it was a fun read.  This world is set up that magic is out in the open. Magic use is tied to the gene for dominate left hand use.  Babylon's magic users are in three camps potions, blood and sex.  The leader of all the "dirty" magic users is the heroine's uncle and he is currently in jail and there is a power vacuum. A new potion hits the streets and after an encounter with a user, Kate Prospero wants to be transferred to the Feds to work on stopping it and possibly jump starting her stalled police career. Kate was a "dirty" magic potions maker but after the death of her mother she quits that life and takes her little brother with her. She has struggled ever since working to put herself through college and get a job as a cop working to stop all the dirty magic. The one thing she will not do is start making potions again and she has worked hard at limiting her brother's contact with magic and their family. The story is good and the universe is well thought out. I can't wait to see more in this series.
