No Peace for the Damned

by Megan Powell

Overview

• Magnolia Kelch is no stranger to pain. Beautiful and powerful, she's spent her entire life at the mercy of her sadistic father and the rest of the Kelch clan, who have tortured her and tested the limits of her powers. After one particularly heinous night that leaves Magnolia nearly dead, she finally sees her chance for escape. But this first taste of freedom is short-lived when she collides with Thirteen, head of the Network — a secret organization dedicated to fighting supernatural criminals — who recruits her into the group. Even as she's coming to grips with this new life and the horrific memories that still haunt her, she's conflicted by her growing attraction to fellow team member Theo and the emergence of new, untested abilities. After months of grueling training, her loyalty to the team is tested when she learns her target is the Network's most wanted: the Kelch family!

Editorial Reviews

Magnolia Kelch's criminal family draws their power from supernatural sources, and her ability not only exceeds that of her relatives but also thwarts their efforts to control it. When she escapes their experimental tortures designed to test her limits, she finds herself part of the Network, an organization dedicated to battling supernatural crime. Powell's debut urban fantasy introduces a heroine with unusually strong powers that come from an unknown and malevolent source. As Magnolia deals with issues of trust in her newfound allies and her rejection of her own family, she also finds a potential bond with one of the Network. VERDICT Powell bypasses standard vampire, zombie, and werewolf themes for a more nebulous—so far at least—take on the supernatural in this series opener that should appeal to most fans of urban fantasy.
