During one of the hottest summers the city has ever seen, someone is murdering mages with fires that burn when they shouldn't, that don't stop when they should. Necromancer Eric Carter is being framed for the killings and hunted by his own people.

This was a different book than what I normally read by an author I hadn’t heard of so I started with no expectations. I actually really loved it. I really liked getting to know Eric and figuring out the world this author built. It was a great break from my standard books. I look forward to reading more from this author. 

**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book

*Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.*

Fitz has stolen money from his drug dealing boss. Fitz is also what is called a 'Chronicler', someone with the gift of hearing the voices of gods, something he's always put down to hallucinations. He learns that he the only Chronicler left and as such a hot commodity within the 'god' community. He's on the run being aided by the god of the internet in an effort to stop the ultimate bad guy gaining control of him and therefore humanity.

Urban fantasy that was a lot of fun, lots of black humour and the mythology interwoven into the plot was done well, keeping me engaged in the story in moments when the action was lighter.
Recommended.

I'm abandoning this one.

The writing and worldbuilding are very good.

The story and the main character are just not for me at this time.  Too dark.

Well, so far, this is well written with potentially interesting worldbuilding.  Anyone else read this seris?

It's rather grim and violent with a main character who says he's done stuff like bleeding out black Rams as sacrifices, lines of cocaine, and sees detailed murders.

I may switch, but nothing on the shelf called for Bookshelf BINGO was really grabbing me.

I sympathize with Eric Carter based on what his life seems to be, but I don't like him yet and am not invested in his story.  I like finding a new series and I like the writing style--that's why on the fence about DNF or continue.

It is making me want to go buy some Johnny Walker Black (no liquor sales here on Sundays though).  I really don't need any because well stocked with bourbon for Derby ... just not Johnny Walker Black.

I will DNF if the book starts doing detailed animal sacrifice (at least the main character says it's too extreme for him to nail a dead cat to the window to ward off the haunts -- if that changes and any pets are harmed, I'm out).

Today's call is shelved as Necromanvers.

New to me author and first in series.  Some reviewers say remniscient of Harry Dresden (I can take it or leave it when it comes to Dresden Files so we'll see).
