Wednesday, July 2nd: MAGICAL GIRL PLAY by Emmy Kuperschmid

"How do you make up for fourteen years of being the chosen one when you don't even know if you're good enough to be the chosen one in the first place?"
Dakota is 28 years old, working a desk job in a city when she finds out her magical destiny: She's the warrior of light and justice chosen to save the world from darkness-- a discovery she was supposed to make 14 years ago. Discovering you're a hero may be thrilling, but can you fight evil by moonlight while still making it to the office by 8am? Who is the new guy in the office, and where is her best friend disappearing to? And are things as black and white, good and evil, as her new magical companion claims?
