#101 Veiled Magic by Deborah Blake

[missingvolume]

This is an introduction to a new urban fantasy series. Witches are out in the open and working with their powers in the mainstream life. The Church still doesn’t care for them and would love to get their hands on an item that can identify witches and other supernatural creatures that have remained hidden from the public. Donata works for the police as a witch who calls the dead back and get the truth from them about how they died and what they were doing.  After solving a missing person’s case before the story starts she is now a rising star in the police chief’s eyes.  The ghost of the crime victim begs Donata to destroy the painting before it is taken by the Church to use against other supernatural. Everyone wants the painting and they go about several means of exerting pressure on her to have her do what they want.

A fun fast read and the story setting is interesting enough that I’ll be picking up the next one.
