Blood, Words, and PowerIn it lies power.A power untold.Words do wonders.Which ones are wove?With a blade or knife I nick.Extinguishing life in a flick.More blood bled, stronger indeed.More bodies will fall before I succeed.There is power, then there is greed.I need.

The down and dirty blood magic used in Trickster is not a new one but the ways in which Lem, Mags, Hiram, Amir and the rest implement the magic are beyond the scope of anything I have ever read so far.The entire book becomes centered on one thing stopping Archmage Mika Renar from destroying almost ...
I would give this 0 stars if that were possible. This novel was described as gritty - which turned out to be quite true if gritty means filled with blood, grime and bad smells - but sadly lacked in anything to make me care about the characters or their plight. The main character seemed immune to goo...
Lem is a trickster, which means that he uses his own blood to perform magic. This usually amounts to conning the non magical around him. He is always looking for the next big score but when he follows up on a tip, Lem ends up on the magical radar of an archmage, who is far more powerful than him. Su...
For a book that promises lots of action and is full of this much bloodshed the first half was surprisingly slow going! I found it really hard to get into the book actually. The second half- once it was all set up and the action was unraveling was more fun to read. This is one of these books that lef...

The use of blood magic and using bleeders isn't exactly new but Somers used it well.Our main character is a guy, which was a nice change of pace from all those 'kick-ass chicks' out there. I liked his quick thinking and taking action. He alway...
We were not good people.Trickster should be turned into a movie, and Tom Hiddleston should play Lem.I really liked this book. At first I thought I will end up DNFing it because the start was rather strange, and I thought it wouldn’t be my kind of book. But after a while, as I read on, I started to c...
I didn't finish this one. The writing was pretty good, but I stopped after three chapters when I realized that though we had already encountered a TON of characters, only four of them were female and they were, respectively: a naked dead girl in a bathtub, a hungover bartender who doesn't even get a...
I know I don't read a lot of regular Urban Fantasy (as opposed to Paranormal Romance or even Urban Fantasy with strong romantic themes), but I'm so glad I decided to pick this one up.I loved the world Mr. Somers hsa created, and his perfectly IMperfect characters, and I WILL be reading any sequels t...
