Description from the publisher:
As the youngest detective—and only—woman in the homicide unit, Jessica Sharpe quickly discovers that being promoted to lead Detective isn’t all that she thought it would be. When a series of gruesome murders takes place, she is the one responsible for finding the killer, before they strike again.

Crime reporter by day, and Gatekeeper to a world of magic by night, Euros Desard thinks he’s seen it all. That’s all about to change when he discovers that dark magic is behind a series of brutal murders, and that the portal between the two worlds is about to be blown wide open.

Despite a history of bad blood and broken hearts, the two of them must come together if they stand a chance of protecting their worlds from the darkness that threatens to invade. Time is running out, and if they don’t learn to work together, not even magic will be able to save them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MURDER BY MAGIC is a stand-alone urban fantasy story.

Murder.  Anyone who reads about the paranormal, especially witches, knows that to use the craft to commit murder is taboo.  That what you send out will return to you threefold.  So the concept is intriguing from the start. 

I loved this story.  I know that since I was reading an unedited ARC, I normally wouldn’t speak of the grammar errors, but I will point out that at one point I was confused as to who was speaking.  I hope this will be corrected in final edits.

I truly hope that Ms. Vale will make this into a series, because I would love to return to Jess and Euro’s lives.  Just a suggestion - there is always more evil in the world to be vanquished.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
