(4) YA Devils & Thieves series. During an annual festival for "kindled" (magical) folk, people from eighteen-year-old Jemmie Carmichael's kindled motorcycle gang start going missing, and Jemmie must learn to harness her sensitivity to magic to save them. Although magic-wielding biker thugs make for an interesting and fresh take on the familiar fantasy elements, execution of this premise becomes lackluster as the novel goes on for too long.
