Reiko Hisakawa just might be the only detective in New York that has mastered both sleuthing and spell-casting, and all of this despite being a chronically ill teenager. But her life gets even more complicated when her best friend, the headmistress of the exclusive North American University of Sorcery, drops dead one day. 

The new headmaster turns out to be a novice who's in way over his head, and now Reiko, guided only by her wit and an odd set of diaries bequeathed to her by her late friend, has to work with her new "apprentice" to solve New York City's mystical mysteries.All Rights Reserved

The Prophecy by lspearson

Ariella's biggest desire in life has always been such a simple one. She wants to be 'normal.' Unfortunately, that one simple wish has never been within her grasp. Coming from a long line of witches is bad enough, but she's even more different than the rest of her family. The fact that no one will give her any answers to why she's so different doesn't help matters. Her entire existence is shrouded in secrets that everyone around her refuses to reveal. After a family tragedy, she moves to a new town, and she gets her first chance to at least pretend to be 'normal.' For the first time, she's allowed to leave the house and go to an actual school. She makes friends, and she develops her first crush, that's quickly followed by her second. She's finally living the normal teenage life she'd dreamed of, but it doesn't last. Everything she believed about herself and the world around her is changed in an instant. Family secrets come to light one after another, turning her entire world upside down in the process. She quickly realizes that sometimes ignorance really is bliss, and maybe she didn't really want to know the answers to the questions she'd always asked, especially when one of these truths causes people close to her to turn their backs on her without hesitation. Before she can even recover from the shock, she's thrust into a war that she hadn't even known existed. Loyalties will be tested. She'll have to choose sides between all of the people she's come to care about. Will she stand with her family, her new friends, or the two boys who both hold a piece of her heart? One thing is for sure. She'll have to let go of her dream of 'normal.'

Xynar's reality by TheBeautyOfFantasy

A creation of a human and a Jinn, Xynar is a never-seen-before book of sorcery. When someone opens Xynar, it sucks them inside of it, and throws them into an alternate world of magic, where they need to fend for themselves and survive. Throughout their journey Xynar will remain present with them; it has blank pages, and it narrates the experience of its victim. When its pages become full, it means that the person has survived for long enough, and officially conquered the challenge of Xynar, and is worthy of returning to the real world. Xynar's third victim, Alan, has been put on the 7 island chain, Gwaxyguen, of the AZ Planet. Alan will later find out that he needs to learn the types of magic that are specific to each native citizen of each of the islands, to be able to unlock the strongest magic of all, existential magic, and face the 2 gods of the planet to try and fix what their cynical acts have ruined. Alan will either win the fight, which would end Xynar's pages and teleport him back to the real world, die fighting the gods, or have his journey abruptly cut off on one of the islands.

But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes-and the more uncertain their path forward. Whispers of an exiled king. A god-killer. A plan that may have been centuries in the making. As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where things could have been set in motion long before anyone could have anticipated. For better or for worse, it's all in the hands of the Guardians now...
