Witches Angelina and Evan Everhart-Trueblood take a case that spirals out of control until the whole city is at risk in this exciting new novel from New York Times bestselling author Faith Hunter.
Angelina Everhart-Trueblood and her brother Evan run Everhart Investigations, a PI firm in Chattanooga that solves paranormal crimes committed by supernatural beings. When their new client wants help finding her friend, who supposedly disappeared during a reception at Angie’s aunt Jane’s winter residence, things get . . . complicated.
The client is not who she appears to be, and demons strike the city for the first time since the Witch War. On top of that, evidence is pointing toward the involvement of an overly ambitious vampire—who just happens to be Angie’s ex-husband.
As Angie and Evan team up with CPD, they will have to dig deep into their magical reserves—and rely on some friends in high places—to rid Chattanooga of the danger creeping into their city.
I have not read any of Ms. Hunter's other novels- but that may change. Vampire and Witch novels are not my first choice of reading, but when authors like Ms. Hunter writes with such "flowing" ideas and entertaining words, old ladies will make changes in their choices.
"Unpredictable Magic" was a very enjoyable read- with words that were not familiar to me, but she made them understandable in every paragraph. There were lots of vamp fights and spells, some with humor, but also some with lots of blood and brimstone. If her other novels are as graphic and explosive as this one, you will want to read her next new novel for sure.
I wanted to continue reading, even though I had other things to do and had to put the book down. She made the characters come alive in their interactions with each other, and the story line flowed in all 534 pages.
I would positively give this novel 5 Barts ➕
