Description
In the thrilling sequel to Magic, Monsters and Me, Elijah Delomary steps into a whirlwind of challenges that test his strength, his identity, and the depth of his relationships. Confronting Zid’dra, the diabolical king of the menacing Gloom, Elijah faces a web of deceit spun by the sinister force, luring him toward his demise. However, his escape is orchestrated by the intervention of the Áuqala, who guides him back to Earth with a crucial message—to believe in his innate magic. Meanwhile, Elijah’s mother undergoes a profound transformation, shifting her focus to support her son, amend past mistakes, and discover a newfound love for herself along the way.
Elijah’s journey isn’t just about reclaiming his powers and rekindling his relationship with Austin, his boyfriend; it’s a battle against Zid’dra’s relentless pursuit. As he struggles with his identity and seeks reconciliation, he becomes entangled in a dangerous game with Zid’dra, all while being shadowed by Devlina, his nemesis. An unfortunate accident sidelines Elijah, forcing him into a period of introspection and healing, where he grapples with self-acceptance and finds his true essence.
Amidst a summer blooming with rekindled love, Elijah is drawn into a chaotic conflict as the battle between Zid’dra and Devlina escalates into a full-blown war, pitting the coven against Devlina. Faced with a terrifying revelation, Elijah is pushed to protect his family, Austin, and the very fabric of existence. The weight of these challenges tests Elijah’s strength, forcing him to confront the darkest forces while proving the unwavering strength of his love to Austin.

The shadows from the dancing fire crawled across the grass toward me. I walked backward until I hit the sliding glass door. A figure rose through the flames, morphing into a very tall woman with pale skin tinged with green. Smoke poured out her nostrils. She growled at us.
“Oh my God, I smell shit!” I blurted out, covering my nose with my hand. I was in no mood to deal with another monster. “And look, it’s the Wicked Witch!”
“Screw you!” she said, spewing her horrible stench into my face. “I am a princess of his majesty Zid’dra—Princess Ahacaca!”
“Caca?”
“Ahacaca! I am your worst nightmare, Elijah.”
“Wow,” I said in a bored way. “Look, shit breath, what do you want?”
“I want Devlina! And you know where she is.”
“I have no idea where she is.”
“You lie, filth.”
“No, I’m not lying.”
“You helped her! Master is not pleased.”
“Look, this war is between Devlina and the coven. Leave me out of it.”
“Give me DEVLINA!!”
“Fine. She’s at 66669 Sandy Canyon Road, Beverly Hills. You need the phone number?”
She grabbed me by the throat, lifting me off the ground. “I want her dead. She killed my sisters.”
I summoned a dagger from thin air and held it to her neck.
“I can kill you!”
She dropped me.
“You have magic!”
“Duh.”
“We got rid of that.”
“No, you didn’t.”
“That explains it all. As you grow stronger, she grows stronger. When you went looney tunes, she faded and almost died. Then you bounced back, asshole. And now she is growing stronger and killing us!”
“I know of your sick plot against me. It didn’t work. And maybe I am getting stronger, but you aren’t going to hurt me or Devlina. She can take care of herself. So I urge you to get the puxhàredo out of here before we destroy you!”
“Housà!” Austin and Barn chanted.
“And anyway, Devlina is Zid’dra’s first wife. And if you knocked boots with him, that’s bigamy, and illegal.”
“Don’t you dare judge me, boy!”
I turned my face. “Jesus, get a mint!”
“I need to kill you. To stop her.”
“Look,” I said, “you can’t command or compel me, okay?” I tossed the dagger, in favor of using my PlasmX.
Ahacaca retreated. “Someone wants to fight!”
“Yeah, let’s rumble!” I leapt into the air, lifting my PlasmX over my head, eyes focused on her head, my body charged with energy. I would slice her in two.
Ahacaca laughed and twitched her head to the left, sending me flying across the backyard, crashing into the cypress trees lining the wall. The air left my lungs. I slid to the ground, and my PlasmX flickered and dropped from my hand.
Austin gazed at me, shot me the peace sign, then launched himself at Ahacaca. She sidestepped him. He did a somersault and flip and landed on his feet facing her.
“Oh, look who thinks he’s some Olympic gymnast!”
Austin growled, shouted “Housà!” and leaped at her, his fists out. She sidestepped him, falling onto Barn’s legs, which connected with her torso, then sent her flying across the grass, rolling several times, and collecting grass and dirt as she spun. She landed on her back, muttering about disrespectful youth. Austin landed above her.
“Hiya, Cacaface!”
“Shut up!” Ahacaca lifted a hand and sent Austin spiraling skyward. I shook my head, stood, and summoned several knives. A twist of my hand and they shot at her at dizzying speed, impaling her against an old oak tree in the center of the yard.
Barn sauntered over to Ahacaca. “Looks like the disrespectful youth have you in a bind.”
“I will end you!”
In a flash of smoke, she disappeared. Barn coughed and waved the smoke away with his hand. I joined him. “Where did she go?”
Austin floated back to join us.
“We scared her off!”
As we fist bumped each other, a cloud of smoke rose from beside Cecilia’s prized petunia beds.
“Yoo-hoo!” Ahacaca called to us. “I’m still here, and now I will end you stupid jerks!” In a flash of red light, she morphed into a giant saw blade, spinning toward us, eating up the grass.
