No matter how much the paranormal politics of Atlanta change, one thing always remains the same: if there's trouble, former mercenary Kate Daniels will be in the middle of it. When one of the Masters of the Dead is found murdered, apparently at the hands of a shapeshifter, Kate is given only 24 hours to hunt down the killer. And this time, if she fails, she'll find herself embroiled in a war that could destroy everything she holds dear. Magic Breaks (Ace) is the seventh installment in Ilona Andrews's Kate Daniels urban fantasy series.

After traveling through time in Shadow of Night, the second book in Deborah Harkness's enchanting All Souls series, historian and witch Diana Bishop and vampire scientist Matthew Clairmont return to the present to face new crises and old enemies. At Matthew's ancestral home at Sept-Tours, they reunite with the cast of characters from A Discovery of Witches — with one significant exception. But the real threat to their future has yet to be revealed, and when it is, the search for Ashmole 782 and its missing pages takes on even more urgency. In the trilogy's final volume, The Book of Life (Viking), Harkness deepens her themes of power and passion, family and caring, past deeds and their present consequences — bringing this superbly written series to a deeply satisfying close.

It's 1964 and 11-year-old Fin and his glamorous, worldly, older half-sister, Lady, have just been orphaned. Lady, whom Fin hasn't seen in six years, is now his legal guardian and his only hope. That means Fin is uprooted from a small dairy farm in rural Connecticut to Greenwich Village, smack in the middle of the swinging '60s. He soon learns that Lady — giddy, careless, urgent, and obsessed with being free — is as much his responsibility as he is hers. So begins Fin and Lady (Sarah Crichton Books), the lively, spirited new novel by Cathleen Schine, author of the bestselling The Three Weissmanns of Westport. Fin and Lady lead their lives against the background of the '60s, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War — Lady pursued by ardent, dogged suitors, Fin determined to protect his impulsive sister from them and from herself.
