Book Review: Dead Things, by Stephen Blackmoore

by Assaph Mehr on May 24, 2023April 11, 2023

This came up as a ‘you might enjoy’, and it certainly intrigued me to try — urban fantasy from the point of view of the necromancer. What to Expect A dark and twisting story, with lots of plot twists and rising tensions. Eric is a fallible human mage with a knack for dead things. That […]

Book Reviews: Hexed & Hammered (Iron Druid #2 and #3), by Kevin Hearne

by Assaph Mehr on February 8, 2023January 30, 2023

The Iron Druid chronicles started as a fun series, a perfect read over the holiday season. What to Expect Picking up from the last novel, Hexed sees Atticus and his gang square off against those who think him weakened after the last novel, particularly witches from the old world. Expect the same shenanigans, with quips […]

Book Review: Hounded (The Iron Druid Chronicles #1), by Kevin Hearne

by Assaph Mehr on January 11, 2023November 26, 2022

I’ve heard good things about the Iron Druid chronicles, and finally found the time to start the series. What to Expect A solid contemporary urban-fantasy, steeped in Irish mythology. Atticus is a 2,000 year old druid, with deep connection to the earth and some old enemies he’d rather not meet again. Naturally they come hounding […]

Review: The Law, by Jim Butcher (plus Little Things: a short story)

by Assaph Mehr on September 21, 2022August 6, 2022

At this point I’m pretty much invested in the Dresden Files series, so there’s a lot of momentum in reading new releases. This review covers the recent Novella plus a short story that appeared in another anthology. What to Expect The Law: Expect a shorter story, about a quarter of the usual novel length. More […]

Book Review: Amongst Our Weapons, by Ben Aaronovitch

by Assaph Mehr on June 29, 2022May 7, 2022

The Rivers of London is a good series and I’ve enjoyed the previous volumes, so I was quite excited with new release. What to Expect Expect another typical Peter Grant supernatural crime blend, reading like a modern British police procedural novel except that the crimes (and police people) deal with magic. By now Aaronovitch is […]

Book Review: Demon’s Dagger, by Douglas Lumsden

by Assaph Mehr on April 6, 2022May 19, 2022

I find Lumsden’s urban fantasy series one of the best out there, and I will never get tired of saying it. So obviously I was very excited to see a companion novella. What to Expect Expect something a little different that the usual Alex Southerland novel. This one is doesn’t involve him, but one of […]

Book Review: A Night Owl Slips Into a Diner, by Douglas Lumsden

by Assaph Mehr on January 26, 2022December 16, 2021

I loved the Southerland urban fantasy series from the moment I first came across it, so obviously jumped on this one as soon as I could. (See my previous reviews here – as well as a wonderful guest post on Meso-American things that go bump in the night!) What to Expect Expect Alex to get […]

Book Review: A Hag Rises from the Abyss, by Douglas Lumsden

by Assaph Mehr on May 19, 2021November 12, 2021

I adored the previous Alex Southerland novels, so when I got the ARC for this one I practically squealed with joy. It was worth the wait! What to Expect Another paranormal case in the wonderful urban fantasy series of Alex Southerland, PI. This time time he gets hired (coerced, more like) into helping the mayor […]

Book Review: A Witch Steps into My Office, by Douglas Lumsden

by Assaph Mehr on January 6, 2021December 16, 2021

Lumsden’s previous novel left me wanting more, so it didn’t take me long to delve into this second book in the series. Nor was I disappointed – this is an excellent sequel, even better than the previous. What to Expect Expect a story that reads like Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but with mobile phones […]

Book Review: A Troll Walks into a Bar, by Douglas Lumsden

by Assaph Mehr on December 9, 2020December 16, 2021

Considering my love of detective stories, especially noir, hard-boiled types, and urban fantasy it wasn’t a big surprise I jumped right on this. What to Expect Expect a classic detective story like Raymond Chandler or Dashiel Hammet, but set in an alternate world suffused with magic. The protagonist, through whose eyes the story is told, […]
