From the Blurb:
"Her name is Pete Caldecott. She was just sixteen when she met Jack Winter, a gorgeous, larger-than-life mage who thrilled her with his witchcraft. Then a spirit Jack summoned killed him before Pete's eyes - or so she thought. Now a detective, Pete is investigating the kidnapping of a young girl from the streets of London... a case that bringd her face to face with Jack.
Strung out on heroin, Jack is a shadow of his former self. But he's able to tell Pete exactly where Bridget's Kidnappers are hiding: in the shadow-world of the fey. Pete follows Jack into the fey underworld, where she hopes to find the truth about what happened to Bridget - and what happened to Jack on that dark night so long ago..."
I am big fan of Caitlin Kittredge's Nocturne City Series. So, when I heard she was starting a new one, I jumped on the wagon and pre-ordered Street Magic. I am definitely glad I did and the result was me buying the 2nd book right when it was announced hehe.
I really enjoy Kittredge's writting. Though The Black London series is definitely darker than her other series, it is not too dark and I found it a great piece of Urban Fantasy.
"Bitting her lip, Pete put one foot over the threshold of the tomb, then the other. A wind whispered out from the shadowed depths and ruffled her school skirt around her knees. She backed out of the doorway immediately. "We shouldn't be here, Jack."
Pete is a detective in London. Her world is turn upside down when she finds a man from her childhood, Jack Winter, that she believed was dead, in a horrible situation. To makes matters worse, Jack is her only lead in a case involving a kidnapped girl.
Jack and Pete's journey is a difficult one. They have so many personal, magical and life threatening hurdles to go through, that it might seem hopeless at times. However, their new found partnership and friendship has a lot of potential and that potential and their strong will, is what lead them forward.
"This might take some time," Jack said to Pete as they walked along the narrow high street outside Jack's flat. "We're going to have to go into the Black." He looked down at her. "Not that you seem to have a problem with that any longer."
