Summary
There's always an evil wizard to ruin a perfectly good trip to London. Ever have one of those weeks? You've taken on an overdose of magic, you've knocked a hole in someone's wall, and you've magically melted a twelve-year old. No? Just me then? See, after absorbing a megadose of power from an object that can control life and death, my magic has been a tiny bit out of control. And Magic HQ has just sent a letter "requesting" I pop by to fix that. I don't want to go. After all, I've got a boss in a wheelchair (my fault, of course), a cat who demands his treats on schedule, and a strong desire not to be Freak #1 in a new magical community. But when someone slips me information tying my parents' disappearance to HQ, I can't pack my bags quickly enough. It doesn't take long before I'm destroying historical tourist attractions, befriending befuddled ghosts, and focusing more on uncovering the truth about my parents than on studying. At the same time, some strange things are happening in HQ, including missing files, mysterious ravens, and mind control. And don't forget the magic tests that if I don't pass…well, best not to think about that. This second book of the Cassie Black Trilogy squeezes you through a magic portal, teaches you the true secrets of garden gnomes, and lodges you in a hidden spot of the Tower of London. If you like the urban fantasy and paranormal mystery of Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series, chuckle at the irreverent humor of Christopher Moore's Bloodsucking Fiends, and want to find out exactly why Mr. Tenpenny hates those Harry Potter references, you'll love this second book of the Cassie Black Trilogy. Grab your copy of The Uncanny Raven Winston to lose yourself in this snarky tale of magic, trickery, and Sacher Torte today.
