This is not your mother&#8217;s coven...<br><b><br></b>Kelley Armstrong returns with the eagerly awaited follow-up to <b>Dime Store Magic</b>. Paige Winterbourne, a headstrong young woman haunted by a dark legacy, is now put to the ultimate test as she fights to save innocents from the most insidious evil of all.. . .<br><br>In the aftermath of her mother&#8217;s murder, Paige broke with the elite, ultraconservative American Coven of Witches. Now her goal is to start a new Coven for a new generation. But while Paige pitches her vision to uptight thirty-something witches in business suits, a more urgent matter commands her attention.<br><br>Someone is murdering the teenage offspring of the underworld&#8217;s most influential Cabals &#8212; a circle of families that makes the mob look like amateurs. And none is more powerful than the Cortez Cabal, a faction Paige is intimately acquainted with. Lucas Cortez, the rebel son and unwilling heir, is none other than her boyfriend. But love isn&#8217;t blind, and Paige has her eyes wide open as she is drawn into a hunt for an unnatural-born killer. Pitted against shamans, demons, and goons, it&#8217;s a battle chilling enough to make a wild young woman grow up in a hurry. If she gets the chance. 121282 book 2004 Industrial Magic (Women of the Otherworld, #4) total:2315|5:708|4:961|3:554|2:79|1:11| 2315 9222 3373 110 11921 0553587072 9780553587074 206 10 3.98 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11921.Industrial_Magic 5 1 false Mon Apr 14 11:40:21 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 27 06:35:49 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 11 11:14:01 -0700 2008
