Bandit Creek, Montana, wasn't much of anything.  Until you looked a bit deeper, then you saw them:  witches, warlocks, daemons and other thingies.  Avy's parents were killed so she is called home to wrap up the loose ends.  Funerals, house, bills, that kind of stuff.  She is a bit taken back to find their house trashed and an odd-looking dog hiding under the porch.She immediately takes to the dog which is good because he doesn't act like he's leaving anytime soon. Christened Busby the dog won't leave her side, especially when she hauls him to the vet for a check-up. The vet isn't too fond of Busby as he recognizes a familiar when he sees one.  After all, Avy is the reason he's currently in Bandit Creek!  Marcus works for the Council - those who hold all the power in a system tightly controlled.  Two Council members cannot have a child together.  It is impossible.  But there Avy is standing in his exam room with a mongrel.Someone is NOT happy.  They want Avy "put down" as a mutant.  She doesn't even know what magical power she has!  In fact, she didn't know her parents' history at all!!  Strange things keep happening as she finally realizes she has something someone wants very badly - but what?An excellent story with great characters and part of a series.  Look them up and get them all!!
