Leone owns Pulp Magic (Comics, Books, Games, & More). Angry customers are her biggest concern--until a man from another world literally drops into her shop. And oni have followed him. Leone defends herself with a magical staff, which marks her with powerful runes. Her supernatural tattoo sleeves make her desperately thirsty, yet practically allergic to water--and oh, they foretell the fate of the realms of demons, gods, and men.
With her four friends and inter-dimensional guide, Leone travels to the realm of the gods, searching for magical cosmetic surgery. She doesn't want to carry the fate of the world literally on her arms. But the truth she finds--of a war raging between worlds--changes her, challenges her.
What's a nerd to do with the fate of all worlds at stake? Ah yes, kick some demon ass.
The Chronicles of Narnia but with more swearing, more katanas, and less allegory. It's nerdy, anime inspired fun for the whole family.

While the story seemed well-paced, there wasn't really a lot resolved by the time we got to the end (a cliffhanger, of course, with none of our questions answered). I'm pretty sure I'm not the target audience, which seems to be young black women. Much is made of Leona's skin color, rather than her accomplishments and I feel this detracts from the story, rather than enhancing her status as a strong female protagonist. Corner Store Witch (a title that makes no sense to me), had an interesting plot but I didn't care for the secondary characters who felt cliched. And if you aren't up on fantasy literature, some of the Dresdin and Harry Potter references will go right over your head. As a non-gamer, I'm sure I missed a lot of the D&D and other gaming references/acronyms.Product details

The Corner Witch Book 1 You Meet at an Inn edition by HD Lynn Children eBooks Reviews
A very rare character a black fantasy nerd. It was truly enjoyable and delightful reading about someone like yourself - a black nerd; a "bleed." I hope to read more from this author and others like her.
I liked the story but it seamed to end a little abruptly. Things were building nicely but all of a sudden it just ended. I'mm looking forward to the next book to read what I missed. I probably should rate it 3.5 stars.
I really enjoyed this story. It was quite interesting, filled with heart and mystery! The world building was excellent, I'm giving it four instead of five stars because the story was riddled with typos and word misuse but it was easily discerned what the author meant but still jarred me out of the otherwise excellent story. I'm very curious to see where this is headed and what the group quest itself will be like. Love all the references and the overall nerdiness of itvall. Awesome!!!
The Corner Witch by H.D. Lynn is a young adult, urban fantasy book that is lots of fun for the nerdy, D&D fan. Magic, inter-dimensional travel, demons, sword play, magic tats, and more. A guy drops out of the sky into Leone's shop and life gets even crazier from there. Demons follow her, she travels to other worlds/dimensions, fights with magic, and called a goddess. The only drawback for me is it stops...just stops. No warning, no lead up, a definite cliff hanger! Cool book up to then. Guess you need to read the next book to see what happens. I received this book for an honest review.
A regular reader of Fantasy will recognize this as a "reluctant quest" novel. It may have an unfamiliar feel to many, because the band of questors is made up of young adult black women. They bicker and banter and co-insult in what must be comfortable to them, but is harsh to a grumpy old white man like myself. In any case the band has plenty of gumption and some significant fighting skills. There's a magic staff with the soul of a dead monk, demons, Asian aliens, and a loosely defined task that will take them home. This is clearly the first episode of a multibook adventure, don't pick it up if you hate cliffhangers.
English isn't even my first language and even I was bothered by the grammar. Her instead of she. Weird word choosing etc.
The plot is obviously borrowed from a lot of classics.
The heroine is a screw-up and her sister is perfect. For me it was too much onedimensional character information dump in the first few pages.
I lost interest around the middle. I don't know if I will finish it.
There is a good premise and good potential here, but struggles under the direction and choices made by the author for how to go about the whole thing. The emphasis is supposedly on the distinctiveness of a black female geek heroine, when really if they hadn't pointed it out specifically and I had read into it all, I would have imagined her as white without a misstep. And yes I know there are no true dialogue or characterization indicators that mark race or the like, but if the author is going to make such a point of her being black, and then really doing nothing else with the concept but saying it like it's crucial to the entire story, it just comes off as a senseless choice to harp on it at all.
The characters themselves feel like a simple running of the clique/party list. You have your main badass try-too-hard hero, your main hero's far more impressive sibling, your lazy foul mouthed friend, your introverted shy living database of the obscure, and your grounded, peaceable supportive mediator. The dialogue and names can be so oddly arranged that it's difficult to tell who is saying what and for the most part it feels like their presence in some ways is just to stretch out the story and fill in time. The background and supporting role characters all feel very underdeveloped in a way that spoke of rushed time versus the earlier stretched out time, if those were switched around it'd do a lot to fix the pacing and flow of the book and the wholeness of the characters.
The Asian inspired otherworld is a bit too on the head for what it feels like the author is attempting, the culture carry-over is too exact and it feels almost lazy in regards to building a viable fantasy work to go off of. Not to say there isn't creativity in the execution, but it still just rings a bit of a hollow note when the reader processes it. The author is clearly capable of some inventiveness, it would have been a solid favor to the story to push that into the development of the fantasy world itself rather than just importing a majority of Asian culture and not really tweaking it at all.
It's not a bad first outing for a story, but it really does need some more work and maybe some changes to make it feel like more a fleshed out world and set of characters. It's definitely a hit or miss depending on the person and for me it just barely escaped being a miss.
While the story seemed well-paced, there wasn't really a lot resolved by the time we got to the end (a cliffhanger, of course, with none of our questions answered). I'm pretty sure I'm not the target audience, which seems to be young black women.

Corner Witch (a title that makes no sense to me), had an interesting plot but I didn't care for the secondary characters who felt cliched. And if you aren't up on fantasy literature, some of the Dresdin and Harry Potter references will go right over your head.
