 Dead Dry 
By Sarah Andrews 
This is the 10th book in the Em Hansen mystery series. I have enjoyed them all, but especially appreciated this one for the geological explanations of the Colorado Front Range and issues of water resources. Sara Andrews does a great job mixing the science in with the plot and character development of her books.

Any book featuring Cotton Malone and Cassiopeia Vitt is a must read. It has adventure, history and secret societies. What else could you want?

The Tethered Mage 
By Melissa Caruso 
The Tethered Mage introduces readers to a fascinating world where magic is dangerous and unpredictable. Those born with sufficient power and skill are marked from birth and are often ostracized and feared. In the Serene Empire, such children are forcibly conscripted into the Falcon army at an early age and used like weapons whenever war breaks out. Zaira, an extraordinarily rare fire mage who can reduce entire cities to ash, has managed to avoid conscription through guile, thievery and extraordinarily luck. Her luck runs out when cornered by unsavory characters she is forced to use her fire to destroy them in broad daylight. During the ensuring chaos, Lady Amaila Cornaro, the bookish daughter of a powerful noble manages to slip a magical bracelet around her wrist. This bracelet functions like the magical version of handcuffs, binding Zaira's magic until Amaila decides otherwise. Now, these two vastly different girls are bound together, whether they like it or not. Before they can adjust to their new positions, political machinations threatens the fragile peace of the Serene Empire and these two girls must work together to avoid a fiery end.
