Subversive by Colleen Cowley {Book Spotlight}

September 26, 2020 by Leila | Leave a Comment

I am in the midst of reading this ‘alternative history science fiction/fantasy romance’ book so be sure to follow up for my review in a couple of days!

Disclosure: I received this book to review. I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

Subversive by Colleen Cowley {Book Spotlight}In an America controlled by wizards and 100 years behind on women’s rights, Beatrix Harper counts herself among the resistance—the Women’s League for the Prohibition of Magic. Then Peter Blackwell, the only wizard her town has ever produced, unexpectedly returns home and presses her into service as his assistant.

Beatrix fears he wants to undermine the League. His real purpose is far more dangerous for them both.

Subversive is the first novel in the Clandestine Magic trilogy, set in a warped 21st century that will appeal to fans of gaslamp fantasy.

About the Author
Author Colleen CowleyColleen Cowley writes contemporary fantasy because, c’mon, who doesn’t secretly wish for some magic in real life?

1. “Colleen Cowley” is not my normal, everyday name. It is a family name of sorts, though.

2. In my teens, I wrote a really awful high fantasy with a portal and many other clichés. And then I took a novel-writing break that I thought would be permanent.

3. As much as I love The Hobbit, my favorite sort of fantasy is present-day. Because there’s such possibility in the idea that something magical could be happening right under your nose.

4. Regarding No. 3: After I zipped through the first four Harry Potter books and waited impatiently for the fifth, I would occasionally dream I was at Hogwarts.

5. I live with my family beside a possibly magical forest. My wardrobe, though, is perfectly ordinary.
