Smoke and Summons (Numina, #1)

by Charlie N. Holmberg

A captivating world of monsters and magic from the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper Magician Series.

As a human vessel for an ancient spirit, Sandis lives no ordinary life. At the command of her master, she can be transformed against her will into his weapon—a raging monster summoned to do his bidding. Unlike other vessels, Sandis can host extremely powerful spirits, but hosting such creatures can be fatal. To stay alive, she must run. And in a city fueled by smoke and corruption, she finds a surprising ally.

A cunning thief for hire, Rone owns a rare device that grants him immortality for one minute every day—a unique advantage that will come in handy in Sandis’s fight for freedom. But Sandis’s master knows how powerful she is. He’s determined to get her back, and he has the manpower to find her, wherever she runs.

Now, to outwit her pursuers, Sandis must put all her trust in Rone and his immortal device. For her master has summoned more than mere men to hunt her down…

I am a big fan of the Plastic Magician series so when i got a chance to read her new book i eagerly jumped on board. I picked this one up early on a snow day in February expecting to read for a while. I was not expecting to get dragged in not look up tell serveral hours later when i came up for air. I was hooked, this story has it all adventure gripping chapters, narrow escapes, slow burn romance and mysterious magic. It an epic story and not read any other story quite like it. It also has a interesting cliff hanger that has me willing to jump right into book two. This is one book you need to clear some time and just read it all in one sitting you won’t regret it.
