Including magic, AI and punk culture, Dot Slash Magicis a new, spicy urban fantasy from TikTokker Liz Shipton, perfect for fans of I am Number Fourand Zodiac Academy.
When twenty-something coder Seven Jones goes back to school at a community college in San Diego, the last thing she wants is to join some stupid club. And the last thing she expects is for that club to be an underground magic club. Like, actual wizards and sh*t.
Surrounded by a motley crew of magic weirdos, Seven discovers her own power and struggles to control it...until she figures out how to channel her magic through an artificially intelligent computer program.
But when terrifying creatures from all sorts of mythologies show up and start hunting students, Seven fears her magic AI is somehow summoning them. When another student is killed, blame falls on Seven and her "artificial magic."
With only one person – cute ex-Navy seal Logan – on her side, Seven fights for her life against the monsters, and struggles to convince everyone that her AI has nothing to do with them.
But how can she convince her peers when she isn’t totally convinced herself?
Dot Slash Magic is a “Romantas-topian” about love and friendship and how we can work together to bring down the real bad guys.
Liz is a freelance writer, author, and full-time, off-grid liveaboard sailor. She’s currently sailing around the world with her boyfriend and dog, turning her real-life adventures into speculative fiction. Her books explore themes of mental health, addiction, technology-creep, climate change, and the looming collapse of society (but, like...in a fun way.) When she's not penning novels about the impending apocalypse, you can find Liz swimming, hiking, telling her dog “I love you” for the bazillionth time today, or watching Taskmaster.
“Dot Slash Magic is your next urban fantasy addiction: magic, mythical creatures, humor, and a cast of delightful weirdos you’ll want to go on plenty of adventures with.” – A.L. Brody, internationally bestselling author of Dating & Dismemberment
"A spicy romantic dystopian fantasy mindfuck of an epic read." – S. R. Breaker, USA Today Bestselling Author
"What a clever and unique read! Shipton has a snarky, fresh voice I hadn’t realized I needed in my life. Seven is delightfully glib and vulnerable, and the magic system is unlike anything I’ve read before. The witty banter, sexual tension, and perfectly placed cynicism are oh-so-good!" – Lindsey Pogue, author of the bestselling Savage North Chronicles
"At its heart, Dot Slash Magic is a conversation about the unpredictability of artificial intelligence and its role in the creative world. It’s about discovering who we are, and the magic of what makes us human." – Herman Steuernagel, bestselling author of The Bartender Between Worlds
"A fun, fresh urban fantasy, Dot Slash Magic kept me turning pages late into the night. I'll never look at AI the same way again." – Becky James,USA Today Bestselling Author
"The cleverest execution of a magic school on a modern college campus." – Brady Hunsaker, author of Scorned Prince
