Oh, I'm frustrated! And excited! Yes, RL did finish the main story line, and a wonderful trip it was. But she also pulled us far enough onward, into the next rabbit hole, that I have a bad case of bookus interruptus.
That said, it feels like Awakening, when it drops, is going to be HUGE, and answer some things I've been formulating theories about.
Soon? Please?

This was an unexpected treat. While the set up is a bit on the long side, I really like Nick Morgan, the MC of this new series. He's quick, intelligent, is open to new ideas, and fun. To cover the bills, he entertains older ladies with his Tarot Readings (for entertainment purposes only, of course) and has a life long fascination with the occult, paranormal, magic, etc.

His world gets turned on its head when he loses a friend to a potion that turns out to be dangerous and loses another when show more he disappears without a trace. Nick sets out to find out what happened to his friends and meets Bron Broome, another person who's lost a friend to the same potion, and they strike up an uneasy partnership. Soon enough, the pair are on the tracks of supernatural fiends Up To No Good ™, and Nick's about to discover there's more to his past and his new friend than he ever expected.

I look forward to the next book in the series.

I enjoyed this book, however had mixed feelings about the ending. I don't think that will stop me from reading the next in the series however. I love how the author portrayed Alistair Stone and look forward to more adventures with this character.

3.5 stars Though a good read, it started loosing points the moment I realized the main character is being led around by his libido by the female character (who, though she doesn't call herself such, is a succubus). Things pick up after Jason and Verity return to Palo Alto and pull Stone's head out of his, er, that is, the sand.
