Kristy's August Staff Pick

The Native Star
Written by M.K. Hobson
PS 3608 .O25 N38 2010

Set in an alternate version of the American Old West in 1876, this book was fun to read. For a debut novel, it’s a pretty good start.
ENJOY!!
Synopsis excerpt from Publishers Weekly via Amazon.com:
Young country witch Emily Edwards battles a horde of zombies and winds up with a mysterious magical stone embedded in her hand. Escorted by the academically-trained warlock Dreadnought Stanton…Emily reluctantly sets out to meet with warlocks from the Mirabilis Institute in hopes of getting the stone removed…. Clever techno-magical artifacts with steampunk flair, evil Aberrancies, and a unique tripartite magical system provide a colorful backdrop to the politics of the warlocks, the secrets of the stone, and the mystery of Emily’s past.
