Since his second sight made him infamous for defeating powerful dark mages, Alex has been keeping his head down. But now he's discovered the resurgence of a forbidden ritual. Someone is harvesting the life-force of magical creatures-destroying them in the process. And draining humans is next on the agenda. Hired to investigate, Alex realizes that not everyone on the Council wants him delving any deeper. Struggling to distinguish ally from enemy, he finds himself the target of those who would risk their own sanity for power...

"Jacka follows his urban fantasy debut, Fated, with an even more impressive tale of gunplay and spellcraft in present-day London...Jacka keeps the emotional tension high with a series of wakeup calls for Alex regarding his relationship with Luna, his place in London's magical social circles, and his image of himself. [Listeners] will savor this tasty blend of magic, explosions, and moral complexity." ( Publishers Weekly)

Alex Verus returns with old friends and new enemies in this second book of the ALEX VERUS series, battling corrupt mages and trying to dodge the dangers of a cursed object.

I absolutely love Alex. He's such a good guy, it's impossible not to root for him. His relationships with Luna, Starbreeze, and Arachne are also incredibly endearing, which keeps him high on my list of favourite urban fantasy protagonists.

The story is a ton of fun with all the plot lines and challenges converging at a solid pace. The writing is witty and the world building is easy to follow. I'm a hug fan of this series and can't wait for the next adventure!

Another Excellent Adventure For Alex Verus!
