title: Street Magic (Black London, Book 1)
author:  Caitlin Kittredge 
description: The first in the Black London series, this dark tale takes Kittredge's supernatural shadows to the next level. At 16, Pete Caldecott witnessed the apparent death of punk rocker Jack Winter after he raised an ancient spirit. Twelve years later, Det. Insp. Caldecott has followed in her dead father's footsteps at Scotland Yard. She follows a tip about a missing child and finds Jack, now a heroin junkie claiming intimate knowledge of a parallel realm called the Black. As Jack detoxes and more children disappear, he joins Pete's quest to find them, teaching her to use hexes and spells as well as her physical abilities in the fight against a rising dark power. Kittredge (the Nocturne City series) knows how to create a believable world, and her fans will enjoy the mix of magic and city grit. <i>(June)</i> <br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

  Valerie looked over her shoulder as the boys continued to follow her down the
  sidewalk. She was about four blocks from home, and she could run flat out from
  here if she had to, but she didn’t like giving them the satisfaction. If she
  ran from them now, they’d just find her another day and make her run again.
  Her mom had had her in self-defense classes at eight, because of the
  neighborhood, and Valerie was comfortable in her own body. If someone tried to
  touch it without permission, she knew she could hurt them, hard and fast, and

  That was the kind of thing that stupid boys wouldn’t come back for.
