In an alternate version of Earth, there exists magic and demons and parallel dimensions and colleges that teach magic and government agencies like the Federal Bureau of Magical Affairs, among others. In this version of Earth the FBMA was started by Aleister Crowley. The heroine of the story is Joy Wilkins, an FBMA agent sent undercover as a professor at the community college to investigate the disappearance of a faculty member and a demon trafficking operation possibly connected to those committing terrorist attacks. Joy is a bit disabled in that she is face blind and has to rely on her ability to see auras to recognize people. But this doesn't always work because people's auras change. She finds herself in the midst of an ancient magical war and doesn't know who to trust; her agency boss, the members of the mysterious organization, The Thirteenth Rib, a trickster god who has taken the place of another professor, or any one of the many magical and possibly sinister people she encounters. This book has a variety of different characters, plenty of action, and intrigue. This book was originally published as a Kindle serial before coming out in paperback. I took a chance on it when the Kindle version was on sale for only a dollar or two because the title intrigued me.
