The Green by Asya Grengauz

Blurb:

Welcome to a world filled with magic...and smog. But mostly smog. That is a big problem and it won't be left by the wayside if the witches have anything to say about it. A magical world it may be, but with some real-life problems that are all too familiar to anyone who inhabits planet Earth.

Tayt Waters is a vigilante. A business owner. And a woman on a mission.

Helping people who've been failed by the legal system get their just rewards...one way or another. And then Tayt's estranged father shows up: the key suspect in a murder case involving a young, local woman.

As she races to find answers that prove her father's innocence, Tayt realizes that murder isn't the only criminal act he's accused of. And the further she digs the more danger she finds herself in. Just how far is too far when your life is at stake? Tayt is about to find out.
