Nothing spectacular that can be seen in Gustainis's Black Magic Woman. The writing is mediocre, the plot is pretty simple and the biggest drawback is the dull, lacklustre ending, so anti-climatic that it takes most of the fun away.
Because I seem to love reading things out of order, I have already done a review of Justin's second book in this series, Evil Ways. In this book, we are introduced to Quincy Morris a sort of psychic investigator/problem solver, Libby Chastain his white witch friend and partner, as well as Dale Fen...

First, Qunicey calls some of his clients "podner". As a Texan, I don't know ANYONE who calls anyone "podner". How fake is th...
I enjoyed this book. I think it's a promising start to a new series. I'll be curious to see if Libby Chastain is a reoccurring character. She certainly seemed like an important character who would be reoccurring, but the series is called the Quincey Morris Investigations, not the Morris & Chastai...
