Taking out hellish
creatures—not a problem. Armed with blessed silver hollow-points and the
ability to manipulate magick, he’s ready for anything—except betrayal
he never saw coming…
Deacon Chalk knows the biggest danger in fighting monsters is becoming one. Just another day at the office for your friendly neighborhood occult bounty hunter. If keeping three helpless were-dog children safe means battling a malevolent trio of witches by any means necessary, so be it. If that means partnering with a ruthless government agent to stay one step ahead of the allies and friends he must now suspect, he’s not going to cry about it. The only way Deacon can save humans and shape-shifters alike is to embrace a power beyond his imagining, putting his team at stake—and his soul on the line…

Review:
I do not know if I should write something about Blood
and Magick, the third part of the
series Deacon Chalk, Occult Bounty Hunter.
Not in a bad way, but because I think it would be
superfluous. The recommendation to
read it, I think it would be
enough.
Should I tell you about James R. Tuck’s style?
It is the same as in the first two volumes, vigorously
bold and full of adrenaline.
Should I tell you about the topic? Not my type to give spoilers and where
would be your pleasure
to discover the adventures’ closure (at least for now) of the terrible bounty
hunter? An idea about the topic you’ll find in
the book’s description and it’s quite enough.
To those who loved the
first parts I guarantee that they will not be disappointed,
on the contrary, they’ll have some adventures even
more incredible. The volume is
a corollary of the series and everything is condensed and skillfully handled
by the author to have a terrible effect.
James R. Tuck has prepared a lot of
surprises so you
cannot complain that
it is a theme
with variations. If I tell you that the first two books are like a roller-coaster at
full speed out of control, but the
third one exceeds them in
intensity, what you’ll say?
We must acknowledge the merits of the author to be able
to develop the series in all directions and at all levels. One thing I could
reproach him. And that is the remembering from time to time of moments from the one or other characters’ past. Of course, the explanation would be that not all readers
read the series from
start to the end (which seems absurd even
if books can be read separately) and in
these conditions the initiative has
its purpose. But for someone who started from scratch, these reminders
can be a bit annoying.
And to stop beating
around the bush ... I highly recommend the book!
You’ll get a hell of an
adventure!

Nu știu dacă ar trebui să mai scriu ceva despre
Blood and Magick, a treia parte din seria Deacon Chalk, Occult Bounty Hunter.
Nu în sensul rău, ci pentru că am impresia că ar fi de prisos. Recomandarea să
o citiți cred că ar fi suficientă.
Să vă spun despre stilul lui James R. Tuck? Este
același ca în primele două volume, viguros, apăsat și plin de adrenalină.
Să vă spun despre subiect? Nu este genul meu să
dau spoilere și unde ar mai fi plăcerea voastră de a descoperi finalul
aventurilor (cel puțin pentru moment) ale teribilului vânător de recompense? O
idee despre subiect o găsiți în descrierea cărții și cred că este și așa destul
de mult.
Acelora care au îndrăgit primele părți le garantez
că nu vor fi dezamăgiți, ba din contră, o să aibă parte de aventuri și mai
incredibile. Volumul este un corolar al seriei și totul este condensat și
mânuit cu abilitate de către autor pentru a avea un efect teribil.
James R. Tuck v-a pregătit destule surprize așa că
nu o să puteți să vă plângeți că totul este o temă cu variațiuni. Dacă despre
primele două v-aș spune că sunt precum un carusel în plină viteză scăpat de sub
control, însă al treilea le depășește ca intensitate, ce ați zice?
Trebuie să-i recunoaștem meritele autorului de a
fi reușit să dezvolte seria în toate direcțiile și pe toate planurile. Un
singur lucru pe care i l-aș putea reproșa este rememorarea din când în când a
unor momente din trecutul unui personaj sau altul. Sigur, explicația ar fi că nu
toți cititorii se apucă se citească seria de la un capăt la altul (ceea ce mi
se pare absurd chiar dacă volumele se pot citi separat) și atunci această
inițiativă își găsește rostul. Dar pentru cineva care a pornit de la zero,
aceste aduceri aminte pot fi sâcâitoare.
Și ca să nu mai bat câmpii degeaba... vă recomand
cu căldură cartea!
It looks like your world.
Normal.
Safe.
Dull.
But it's not.
This is a world where vampires run nightclubs.
A world where the pretty lady at the coffee shop may very well be a Were-spider.
A world where Things go bump and grind in the night.
A world where, just out of sight, around the corner you might walk past, lurks a Nightmare having a bad day.
THIS is the world of Dark Urban Fantasy.
Look around, click the links, make yourself at home, but don't wander off.
