Imogen Taylor: Artist. College dropout. Gamer. Screwup. I had big plans for art school in California, but when the best mom in the world—mine—needed help, I came home to Arbolito, Arizona instead. I even got my old high school job back, making smoothies at the Desert Freeze…in winter. So, yeah, by day, my life is a cold, tropical-hued hell. But at night, I escape reality by plugging into my favorite video game, Legendelirium, to become a powerful, sexy witch, going on epic quests while vanquishing baddies. Until a cute guy from my gaming world shows up at work, gives me the worst kiss ever, and my reality and fantasy lives get blended by purple goo laced with lethal, nanorobotic technology. Now, I’ve got powers—strange, witchy ones. Scary people are after me, and I don’t know who to trust. And, get this. Somehow, it's up to me to defeat them, or it's game over. Enter the fast, fun, urban fantasy adventure of the BUTTERFLY WITCH series, where magic and science become one—mostly by accident! * This is a standalone first book in the brand-new BUTTERFLY WITCH series. Contains swearing, some intense action scenes (low gore), super-slow-burn romantic interest (also low gore), and does not end on a cliffhanger—but, yeah, there's more to come! For fans of the snarky heroines, fast-paced action, and fun worlds of Shannon Mayer, Ilona Andrews, Darynda Jones, McKenzie Hunter, Kristen Painter, Robyn Peterman, Dannika Dark, Faith Hunter, Chloe Neill, and Jennifer Estep. Mo wishes she could be so cool!*
A college dropout's mundane life as a smoothie maker is shattered when her online gaming fantasy and reality collide, imbuing her with dangerous powers and attracting lethal attention. Imogen Taylor, an artist and gamer, returns home to care for her mother, trading art school dreams for a job at Desert Freeze. Her nights are spent escaping into the virtual world of Legendelirium as a powerful witch, but a chance encounter with a cute gamer blurs the lines between her two lives. Now, infused with nanorobotic technology and strange, witchy abilities, Imogen finds herself hunted by unknown forces and must navigate a dangerous new reality where she is the only one who can prevent a catastrophic outcome, all while trying to figure out who to trust.
The premise sets up a fast-paced urban fantasy adventure that blends magic and science, appealing to fans of snarky heroines and action-packed worlds. The inclusion of a slow-burn romance and a standalone nature for the first book suggests a focus on character development alongside plot progression. The comparison to authors like Shannon Mayer and Ilona Andrews indicates a certain tone and style, likely involving witty dialogue and dynamic conflict. The narrative structure, as described, aims to provide a satisfying conclusion while leaving room for future installments in the series.
