Black Market Magic

Rate this book
As an employee of the National Institute for Monster Prevention (NIMP), I see my fair share of monsters. Usually they’re the creepy-crawly kind, though—not the human kind.

Until now.

A criminal organization is selling magical artifacts on the black market. Its base of operations? The Underground: an entire magical city beneath our own, accessible only through dumpster portals.

I hope we find the culprit. But, more than that… I hope we make it out of here alive. Because those portals I talked about?

They’re only one-way.

This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believeable.
Great suspense and action with wonderful world building that adds so much to the story.
Can't wait to read more of these.
Recommend reading.

I loved this book. Same characters as the first book but completely different story so although references are made to the events in the first book it isn't necessary to read that first. I this book Kira, Gavin, Jim and Abbey descend into the depths of the Underground to catch the seller of illegal artifacts in order to claim the bounty to pay for a bill of potions that were used and destroyed in an earlier chase. After reading the first book I was eagerly awaiting the release of this and I wasnt disappointed!

This series is awesome. Kira is back for more of her misadventures. Her relationship with gavin seems to always get put on the back burner as more and more assignments roll in. In this adventure the team must find and stop a rogue relic black market dealer which is easier said than done whenever kira is involved. The characters are brilliant and the story is well written and fraught with mishaps. This is my favorite new series.

First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.

Wow!!! Another gr8 story. This story continues on more about Kira, Abby, Jim, & Gavin working with NIMP, capturing bad monsters. Also trying to find out what Kira's magic is. They embark on a fantastic adventure. I'm not thrilled with the ending, but it leaves room for another story. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up

Black Market Magic is the second book in the Kira Steele series. I loved this story and cannot wait for the next one in the series.

Magic, mishaps, and mayhem abound in this story when Kira and the NIMP crew head into the Underground. The characters are great and the storyline is well written and very enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this book because it ticked off everything that makes an urban fantasy work. I loved the main character. She so fiesty! Lol! Good story that kept my attention from start to finish. This is an accomplishment by itself because some UF works have become so formulaic. Not this one. Readers will enjoy themselves immensely. I highly recommend this one!.

Received as a review copy, this is an honest review. A well rounded story with characters that are funny getting constant trouble; the magical marketplace provides an interesting read that makes you think of Harry Potter.
