Review: one of two fun tales

Watching sf movies, going to convention, buying associated doodads, that’s the fun of being involved with fantasy. Imagine if there were a type of magic like Geekomancy (ebook from Pocket Star which I bought electronically) in which watching an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer would give you her strength and speed for a few minutes or having a light saber that worked like the real things. Ree Reyes was a twenty-something working at a graphic art,  coffee shop and trying to sell a movie script, when she sees a man fighting a troll. A magic spell called Doubt erases mundane minds. Soon she’s investigating suicides and trying to stop a deal with a demon. Then she sell a script for a speculative tv show (that sounds neat) and ends up working for the star of a television show she grew up with. Unfortunately there’s a mogul out there using Celebromancy  (ebook from Pocket Star which I bought electronically) to attack the set with monsters from old movies. It might be neat to fight actual dragons, but, as Michael R. Underwood informs us, it could also get you killed. Lots of fun.Review Printed in the Philadelphia Weekly Press
