Karma Crossed

by Jamie Sedgwick

Gritty modern day San Francisco is an epicenter of supernatural activity. The ghosts, demons, witches, and werewolves are bad enough, but there's also the Majistry, a powerful secret society tasked with bringing all of these magical, mystical beings together into one all-inclusive group. The idea may sound nice, but the reality? Not so much. The wildly disparate groups meld like clay and iron, making pretenses in public while continuing to plot and scheme in the shadows.

Jonah Cross is a loner with an unusual ability to show up when help is needed. When a Berkeley professor is assassinated and Jonah fails to stop the crime, he's on the hook. Jonah is pursued by Majistry operatives, renegade vigilantes, and a dogged FBI agent, all of whom are convinced that Jonah committed the murder. In order to solve the crime and clear his name, Jonah will be forced to call upon his greatest allies and worst enemies, from a three-hundred year-old alchemist who was burned at the stake during the Salem Witch Trials to a powerful but dangerous sorceress and her ex-lover, a werewolf. The path to solving the mystery is fraught with dangers, and Jonah's strange karma seems to be working against him every step of the way. Even if he can overcome all of this and learn the truth, Jonah still might live to regret it.

Excellent!

I have read everything Jamie Sedgwick has written, as far as I know and this like all the rest of his work is so well written that I just get so involved and hate it when the story ends. Unless there's more! I love all the characters in his stories. This story was a bit different and I wasn't sure that I'd enjoy it but I did! Keep writing and I'll keep reading.
Thanks for writing such good books,
Lynn

Not a bad story, alot going on in some parts. Could be the pilot of a new netflix series, has a very comic book feel.

Disapointedly preachy

Well I guess it had to happen and I'm willing to allow for my own character flaws but I just didn't care for this story. There were some redeeming qualifies at the end.
