Three Kinds of Lucky (The Shadow Age, #1)

Oh, a brand-new series by the fabulous Kim Harrison? Yes, please, sign me up!
Meet Petra Grady, a sweeper extraordinaire. She's got a unique talent - the ability to see the mystical mess left behind by those show-off mages who dabble in magic. But here's the kicker: Petra can't actually perform magic herself. Talk about a respectable, necessary job that doesn't get the credit it deserves, especially from those mages who casually create all that dross.
Now, enter childhood "secret" friend and genius, Benedrict Strom. This guy might have cracked the code on making Sweepers obsolete by neutralizing dross. And guess what? Petra finds herself drafted into his team, whether she likes it or not.
Kim Harrison has conjured up a whole new magical system, a parallel world, and a fresh batch of characters in this series. If this first installment is any indication, we're in for a ride as long-lasting as her beloved Rachel Morgan books. Personally, I couldn't get enough of Petra and her crew in this captivating new setting.
Petra Grady has known since her teenage years that magic just isn't her jam, and that's not about to change. But as a sweeper first-class, she's managed to turn her rare talent into a decent livelihood by handling the magical garbage her more gifted peers leave behind.
However, Petra's predictable life is about to be turned on its head. The enigmatic, irresistible, and seemingly unattainable Benedict Strom needs someone with her unique abilities for a research project aimed at studying dross and making it less dangerous. So, she's stuck on his team, ready or not.
Here's the catch: Benedict may be brilliant, but he doesn't quite grasp the essence of dross like Grady does. After an unthinkable accident, they find themselves on the run, seeking out a mysterious outcast who was exiled a decade ago for using dross in spellcasting. Now, Petra's got a major decision to make: stick to the magical status quo or unleash her hidden talents, even if it means turning their world upside down.
This is a breath of fresh air, something entirely new, yet brimming with all the remarkable qualities I adore about Kim Harrison's books. The first installment is nothing short of excellent, and I'm positively itching to find out where Petra and her shadowy adventures lead us next!
Many thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for providing me with a digital review copy of this heart-throbbing journey in exchange for my honest opinions.
