Just not for me
It's Victorian London and Simon Archer is a scribe, a magick practitioner that uses runes and tattoos to focus his magical energy. Posing as a handsome rogue playboy to infiltrate society and hide his abilities, he and his mentor Nick Barker, attend a society ball to discover more about the pesky we...
I'm giving this one star not because it was incredibly awful but because it was utterly forgettable. I could not even give you a short summary of what happened or name more than one person (Simon, I remember Simon since there were about 100 "Simon says"'s in there).

I want action sequences (even if th...
(I was given a copy through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)Magic, werewolves, Victorian London, crazy inventions, and alchemy: what could go wrong, right?Well, I did like this novel, but not as much as I had hoped and wished. Perhaps because I remembered liking these authors' Greyfriar...
Victorian-era urban fantasy is a genre which piques my interest. New to me authors Clay and Susan Griffith kick off an interesting series. There are werewolves, sorcerers and alchemists moving about without polite society's knowledge. For those who picked this book up because of the reference to ...
