Outage (Vic and Matt #10)
by J. M. SnyderA Vic and Matt StoryMatt diLorenzo's coworker Roxie Johnson drags him to a boring, day-long workshop on office administration.

But the street is blocked off by fallen power lines and the building's concierge won't let Vic near the mechanical room to work his magic.And then there's Roxie, who doesn't yet know of Vic's powers or how he gets them ...
