Dark Magic (The Chronicle of the Underworld #1) by Raluca Narita
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Publishing Date: June 27, 2023
The Goddess of Death, the Grimm Brothers, and the Devil collide in a thrilling new paranormal fantasy series.
Primrose Titan is the Goddess of Death, an ancient deity who reaps the souls of the dead and rules the Underworld. All life ends with death, and in death, there is no happiness. Primrose knows this better than anyone, and her heavy responsibility has twisted her reality, purging her of all feelings for humans—or so she believes.
When the Demon King Lucifer escapes his prison in Hell and threatens chaos on the human world, Primrose must hunt him down. The High Court, a council of deities, is skeptical Primrose can handle Lucifer on her own and appoints the handsome yet icy Atlas Grimm, one of the fabled Grimm Brothers, to assist her. Strange, dark magic and supernatural creatures sent from the Devil himself stand in their way, along with political enemies acquired over the millennia.

Author Interview
What inspired you to write Dark Magic?
I fell in love with the Percy Jackson series when I was younger, especially the unique portrayal of Greek Gods and Goddesses. In recent years, I’ve also read so many fantastic retellings of fairy tales initially written by the Grimm Brothers. I wanted to bring a unique story to life that integrated Gods and Goddesses with the Grimm Brothers and a hierarchy of demons.
What has been the favorite part of your publishing journey so far?
The marketing part has been a ton of fun—from creating content for social media posts to recruiting members to the street team, I’ve enjoyed building up hype and excitement for Dark Magic!
If you were a character in Dark Magic, what kind of character would you be?
I’d probably be one of the reapers, guiding souls from the human realm to the Underworld.
Describe Dark Magic in five words or less.
An action-packed paranormal fantasy!
What is your favorite quote from Dark Magic?
“Dead is dead only when I say so.” —Primrose Titan
What do you hope readers take away from your story?
I hope readers realize that they should live their life to the fullest extent because all life ends with death. Death is often sudden and unexpected, so spending time with the people you love and living in the moment is incredibly important.

Primrose Titan is a delightful and headstrong character that embarks on an epic cat-and-mouse chase when Lucifer escapes. This dynamic is immediately established in the prologue which introduces Lucifer with an ominous wink at his plans for her. The back and forth between them is carried throughout the story as she works to catch him. Despite her role as Goddess of Death, she remains grounded as she gets confused over humanity’s greed and fits within our modern reality with her use of an iPhone, a Walmart bag, and an 'I Love New York' baseball cap. Raluca Narita crafts a delightful concept of death that blends grittiness and humor. Primrose isn’t what you expect Death to be with a Disney shirt and reading Wuthering Heights but she’s relatable and it’s easy to adore her character. Death imagery is incorporated throughout the story, immediately setting up the tone with Primrose’s perspective of life and death. Her abilities also contribute to this imagery with her summoning the dead and comparing the actions to marionettes that move by her command.

Reviews for "Discover the Secret Oasis of Baja Magic Lodge"
- John Smith - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with my stay at Baja Magic Lodge. The facilities were run-down and not well-maintained. My room was dirty and had a strong odor. The staff was unhelpful and seemed disinterested in providing good customer service. The location was also not ideal, as it was far from the main tourist attractions. Overall, I would not recommend staying at Baja Magic Lodge.
- Sarah Johnson - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Baja Magic Lodge but was let down by the lackluster experience. The rooms were outdated and in need of renovations. The beds were uncomfortable and the linens were old. The Wi-Fi was also very unreliable. The breakfast offered at the lodge was minimal and not impressive at all. The only positive aspect of my stay was the friendly staff, but unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for the shortcomings in the overall accommodations.
- Michael Thompson - 1 star
I regret choosing Baja Magic Lodge for my vacation. The website photos painted a much different picture than what I experienced. The rooms were small and cramped, not at all like the spacious and luxurious photos online. The noise from the nearby construction was also unbearable, making it impossible to relax. The lack of amenities was also disappointing, and the pool area was in desperate need of cleaning. I wouldn't recommend Baja Magic Lodge to anyone seeking a relaxing and comfortable stay.
