Royal Street 
by Suzanne Johnson

Publication Date: April 10, 2012

         I sent out my empathetic senses, trying to feel any buzz of magic coming from him. There was still a tingle in the air that wasn't wizard's magic, but it was probably left over from Jean Lafitte. So he wasn't a wizard, and he din't look old enough to be an Elder. I studied the badge, flipping it over. The back of mine identified me as a licensed sentinel. His read, simply, ENFORCER.
         Good Lord, he was a terminator

(Pg. 73)

This is a book that fits into the genre of "New Adult", as it is skewed a little older than Young Adult.  The inclusion of the terrible results of Hurricane Katrina really makes the book resonate.  Using real news reports at the beginning of each chapter gives the story a grounding that is necessary with the supernatural things happening.  DJ is a great protagonist, and the mythology within the book is really fresh, and enjoyable.  Loving the book so far!
