Marisela Simone Stellar Morales, a.k.a. MASIE, is a twenty-year-old Junior at UM (University of Miami: School of Magic). She's a workaholic and bored witch with minor abilities, trapped in her divorced parents' power games and the life they've planned for her. Fortunately, she loves her job as a concierge at the Penguin Hotel in South Beach, the only place she has any autonomy, feels independent, and hopes to earn enough money to leave school and find adventure anywhere but Miami.

MAGIC IN MIAMI Book 1
When the Cosmic Diamonds, the legendary enchanted gems rumored to grant godlike power, go missing from the Penguin Hotel where she works, Masie’s mundane life takes a drastic turn. As the main suspect, her freedom seems further away than ever, and a prison cell looms on the horizon.
Desperate to clear her name, Masie turns to an eccentric antique dealer and vampire, and the infuriatingly charming Mo Wonder, her parents' preferred match for her. As they delve into Miami's magical underbelly, they uncover a plot reaching far beyond simple theft.
Time is running out. The Art Deco grand opening, where the Diamonds were destined to shine, is mere days away. With her autonomy, reputation, and future at stake, Masie must tap into her own underestimated magic to outsmart power-hungry wizards, solve the mystery, and prove her innocence.
But in a city where tiger lilies are secret signs and a magical flamingo might be the only trustworthy ally, nothing is as it seems. As hidden motives come to light, Masie learns that the biggest betrayals can come from the most unexpected places.
If you enjoyed the magical realism and Miami setting of Jane the Virgin and the far reaching mythos of Grimm, then you are going to love Masie and the Cosmic Diamonds.
