I might not have been in the right mood for this considering what is currently going on in the US politics. It is a workable fantasy. It is part Burn Notice, part Dresden, part James Bond. Apparently every single beautiful woman finds Nate undeniable and is willing to drop her bra and panties fo...

This has a lot of interesting stuff going on. He's like this chick magnet awesome guy with powers, and there are bad guys. I liked it, but it got to be too many elements added in for me. It went from present to way in the past with knights and stuff. It also brings in figures from history during...

This lacks a bit in the romance department, but has action galore, a solid and interesting (if not totally original) world-building, a very cool and fascinating protagonist and a quite high body count. What I liked most, was that Nathan really really was a bad ass. In the end even more than in the...

The end is inevitable from the beginning. But if you believe that man can solve his own problems and is at no...

While this one started out a bit slow for me it did end up grabbing me at about 40%. Good story and the narrator did a great job.

Immersive dark urban fantasy about a thief who woke up tabula rasa ten years ago. As he takes jobs that are not at all what they seem, his memory begins to return... but it might not return fast enough to save him and those he must protect.

10 years ago, Nathaniel Garrett woke up with no memory. He hasn't figured out a lot since then, other than that he's a sorcerer and uses his powers doing jobs for people such as thieving. But as always, eventually his past does catch up with him and he gets drawn back into a millennial old battle ...

Done for Sockpoppet’s 2014 Reading Challenge R is for Run (the main character is running from something)—I should have run from this book. Crimes Against Magic is a perfect example of a "should have" book. It should have been good, I should have loved it. It had an interest plot and a pretty cool...
