It's time to right magic that has gone wrong. Young Justin Kasey Hobskin (known as Kase) and his faithful partner Murdox (who just happens to be a talking wolf-dog) are agents for the Incantation Enforcement Agency, Counter-Curse Division. In a world were magic and technology are intertwined; they have the unpleasant job of righting magic that has gone wrong. Following the completion of the difficult task of rousting some pesky nixies (wily little blue vermin), they learn that their next assignment involves saving an elf king who is slowly turning to stone after drinking a mystical afternoon tea. What begins as a typically quirky assignment turns out to be a quest that takes them to forbidden lands where they encounter magical beasts and unique challenges destined to test all their skills and intelligence.

"Not to worry, Ms. Willeby. We see these kinds of errors happen all the time." Kase cleared his throat and nudged Murdox, who was rolling his eyes and snorting.
Kase gave Murdox a stern glance. "Unfortunately, overcooked pickled imp brains are a perfect recipe for disaster, and in this case they transformed your gnomes into nixies."
The young agent dropped The Joy of Conjuring, Third Edition back into his backpack. "Not to worry!" he assured her. "We've come prepared."

Enchanting first in trilogy,
This review is from: One Wizard Place (Paperback)
Behind the glass doors, guarded by stone statues of giant winged creatures, is the headquarters of numerous governmental offices. These include the Mythical Bureau of Investigation (MBI) and the Incantation Enforcement Agency (IEA). Justin Kasey Hobskin (known as Kace), works with his partner Murdox as an agent of the Counter-Curse division of the IEA. This is a position he took after a very nasty curse left his father turned into a wolf, and Murdox a talking wolf-dog(an unfixable condition that has left him very out of sorts). The counter curse department is a small one whose agents are in charge of righting magic that has gone wrong. It's a tough job to have. It is too bad that there are only the two of them doing it.
After returning back to the office after a long, tough job of clearing a house of a particularly nasty infestation of nixies, Kase and Murdox are given their next assignment. The elf king of Greylock has accidentally drunk a potion which is slowly turning him to stone. Upon visiting the king, the partners discover that in order to cure him they need a very rare and hard to get ingredient. They will have to travel far, find the needed ingredient, and get back to the king with only ten days before the spell becomes irreversible! In this, his first novel, author D.M. Paul has created a wonderful world where technology and magic mix. He introduces us to city named Cloudview that is a hundred levels high, each level a city in its own right. Where its inhabitants travel around by slug system(what was once the bus system), the vertical train (between levels), and the horizontal tube(a one level train-like system) It is populated by a myriad of inhabitants who don't always seem to be what they are. This book, while written for younger readers, will enchant and delight adult fans of fantasy fiction as well. This is the first book in a three book series, Book two Sentinel will be released later in 2006.

Really Fun to Read,
By Kelly Stratton (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Wizard Place (Paperback)
This is a great book. I found a Podcast of the audio book and really liked what I heard. So I decided to purchase the paper copy. This was even better than I expected. It's fast paced with action and fantastic visual effects almost like you were watching a movie. I read the book over the weekend and hardly put it down. I have to say that I'm impressed with this new author. I hope to see more in the future.

Hackneyed,
This review is from: One Wizard Place (Paperback)
I was looking for something cute and amusing. Having enjoyed the Harry Potter series I thought I would give this one a try. However, it was too much like the Harry Potter books and not original in the least. The author was not able to write a book that captured me. I was very dissapointed.
