A fine new fantasy series with a twist--instead of making up a fantasy world, the author set the story in colonial Boston. It reminded me a little of Harry Dresden, and will be enjoyed by fans who like mystery, fantasy and a nice dose of history.
Thieftaker by D.B. Jackson tells the story of Ethan Kaille, a man with a checkered past, who uses his conjuring skills to track down thieves and return stolen goods to their owners.

To my delight, that didn't happen.D.B. Jackson's writing sucked me in from the start. Sometimes it felt like I was walkin...
