A magic book causes chaos across New York City, forcing a monster hunter to set things right, in this fifth entry in the urban fantasy adventure series.

"As always the best part of the book is John's irreverent wit. Include that with an interesting and well-plotted story, clever characters, exciting battles, and excellent worldbuilding, all of which made it a hard book to put down." -- Elitist Book Reviews

For John Charming, living the dream just became a nightmare.

Someone, somewhere, is reading a magic book that is reading them right back. Real life is becoming a fairytale: high school students are turning, quite literally, into zombies, subway workers into dwarves, drug addicts into vampires.

John Charming and his motley band of monster hunters are racing to find the villain of this story, following the yellow brick road through a not so wonderful wonderland. And if they can't find Reader Zero before the book is closed, there won't be a happily ever after again.

"Rising star James is back with the newest installment in his dangerous and dangerously wacky Pax Arcana series. Combining hair-raising peril and humor is a James trademark that works extremely well in taking readers on over-the-top UF adventures they won't soon forget! If you have not checked out James's books, you are missing out!" -- RT Book Reviews
