Synopsis

When a beautiful naked woman Eve, unexpectedly turns up at his back door, Adam, an amateur wizard, is not sure if it is his good fortune or not. The young woman has an attitude and starts bossing him around straightaway, issuing commands; which strikes Adam that she may be a practitioner of the black arts.
Adam, who has been dabbling with spells from a book he has found in the basement of a derelict house, decides to play along with her until he learns more. Adam soon discovers that she is a witch, and she somehow, has been transported from the 1950s to the present day.
Meanwhile, he has been having some terrible nightmares. A being, who calls himself The Master is haunting him and is after his book of magic. In recurring dreams, Adam meets his demise several times in the Master’s hands and is unable to find a way to escape him.
Adam can’t tell if Eve is going to turn out to be his friend or a foe and tries to keep his own abilities a secret from her. He is also hiding another terrible secret from her, which he knows will have to come out sooner or later. Meanwhile, his worst nightmare is about to come true as the Master turns out to be real. Adam is in a fight for his very survival and is not sure if he can win. All the time he also has to maintain the semblance of normality in his hectic, day-to-day very stressful life, which is also about to fall apart as the police are out to get him for something they suspect he has done.
The book is a dark-humoured, fast-paced, fun Urban fantasy thriller.

I’m Glad You’re Dead: Preternatural Chronicles Book 1

★ 4.2

Hunter Blain

My name is John Cook, and my life began the day my heart stopped beating.

You meet the most interesting men in Medieval prisons. This one time, I met a guy who offered me immortality for the low, low price of changing my diet. I didn’t read the fine print. Because he wasn’t talking about a gluten free diet. More like hemoglobin full.

And now I’m a friggin’ vampire with five centuries of pop culture references.

Granted, at the time, I was listening to the dying screams of my mother and father being burned and eviscerated alive just outside the rusty bars of the prison cell, and my new best friend was offering me my only real chance at saving my own life and avenging my parents’ murderers—some day.

Except my first chance at vengeance took about five hundred years, and I had to wade through oceans of sin and violence, blackening my soul—and my already dark sense of humor—beyond redemption until I met Father Thomes—a Roman Catholic Priest—in present-day Houston. Papa Thomes taught me how to use my dark curse to fight for the good guys. Like Alfred and Robin did for Batman—except we straight up murder Jokers and Two-Faces. Biteman and Pope’n.

We stand up for the downtrodden, the forgotten, and the neglected…

By exsanguinating the wicked in horrific, truly imaginative ways, and having a grand ol’ time doing it. You know what they say about doing what you love…

But our party is soon cut short when we learn the End of Days is just around the corner, and that the fine print of my contract might have hidden a few other tidbits. Like the fact that I was central to kicking off the Apocalypse, and that the Archdemons will stop at nothing to make sure The Dude Abides by the terms of his contract.

I guess I need a lawyer.

Get ready to laugh at extreme violence. I know I will. If you’re not laughing, you’re learning.

If you like Jim Butcher, Shayne Silvers, Cameron O’Connell, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F. Breene, you won't be able to put down the highly addictive Preternatural Chronicles.

Get Rich or Get Lucky

★ 4.25

Max Nowaz

Get Rich or Get Lucky is a hilarious Urban Fantasy thriller that follows Adam who finds himself in control of a magic he never knew existed.

After a string of disappointments with his literary career, Adam is not doing well in life, particularly where women are concerned. His last girlfriend left him for somebody taller, and he was sacked from his job at an English Language School for flirting with the boss's wife after a few drinks at the Christmas party.

Adam wants to stand out in a crowd and not be the most unspectacular person in it. To improve his lot Adam decides to ditch his ambition of becoming a writer and embark on a get-rich-quick scheme, by renovating run-down houses.

When by chance he discovers a book of magic in the basement of a derelict property, he can’t believe his luck. Excited by his find, he invites his friends Dick and Charlie, to tell them about it. But things quickly take a turn for the worse when Adam inadvertently casts a spell which turns Dick into a crayfish. Adam is unable to reverse the spell immediately and while searching for the solution, leaves Dick in the garden pond, which gets flooded and Dick disappears.

Dick's wife Rachael reports him missing and the police then suspect Adam of being responsible for Dick's demise. Things continue to spiral out of control when the book is stolen and he discovers that a powerful, evil warlock is looking for the book. Adam finds himself in a race against time, to recover the book and thwart the warlock to stand any chance of bringing Dick back, if he can.

Get Rich or Get Lucky is a dark-humoured fantasy thriller, and may not appeal to the very sensitive reader with a strong conventional bias. It will however, be a favourite for open-minded readers who enjoy adult, fun fantasy fiction and also a fast-paced adventure thriller.

This novel does not purport to be literary fiction, but is a good old-fashioned Urban Fantasy genre romp. Any criticism from pseudo-intellectual critics (more than likely failed writers themselves) about any lack of highfalutin vocabulary and intricate, superfluous prose seems unjustified. The novel is a thriller, and it is all about action and a good story and should be enjoyed as such.

"His words had her melting like cheap ice cream on a sizzling summer day, but she had to clarify some things before they got to the kissing."

Flaminius's days of bouncing between beds are snatched away the instant he sets eyes on his perfect genetic match, Aurelia. Suddenly, the tedious task of claiming his rightful place on the throne of Arkhnuet doesn't seem as daunting with his whip-smart wife by his side. But it's not like Aurelia had a choice; Flaminius is the only soul she can reproduce with, and she's not about to play a role in her people's extinction.

After a swift wedding and passionate honeymoon, an assassination attempt plummets the lovers back into the reality of ruling. Fueled by their indomitable matched hormones and fierce loyalty to each other, together they must evade his mother's Machiavellian schemes, hunt down the mysterious cause of death among the match-making Keys, and protect the people from a violent supremacist cult, the Oradagra. But it turns out that the greatest threat to their existence is something neither of them could have seen coming, and it's a race against time to save the entire Arkhnuetian planet.
