[Liora M. Ellington · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hex: A Jack Talbot Thriller by Marc W. Shako instantly grabbed my attention with its dark blend of crime, suspense, and supernatural intrigue. The premise a man cursed with only seven days to live while investigators race to stop a powerful witch feels both chilling and thrilling. Shako creates an atmosphere thick with dread, mystery, and urgency, where every page seems to tighten the noose. Even without diving deep yet, it’s clear this story promises high stakes, vivid tension, and that edge-of-your-seat pacing readers love. A must-read for anyone who enjoys detective thrillers infused with magic, danger, and relentless suspense.
