Finished
Scryer's Gulch. It was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to further installments.

Dog Days by John Levitt. It's not available as an ebook, and I've been holding on to the paperback for months hoping the publisher might issue a digital version. At least the next 2 books in the series are out in ebook format.
"Mason used to be an enforcer, ensuring that suspect magic practitioners stayed in line. But now he scrapes out a living playing guitar. Good thing he has Louie, his magical...well, let's call him a dog. But there are some kinds of evil that even Louie can't sniff out. And when Mason is attacked by a supernatural assailant, he'll have to fall back on the one skill he's mastered in music and magic-improvisation."
