Shamrock Disposal #2
Splintered Gates
I break magic for a living. But some doors should never be opened—no matter how badly the Agency wants me to walk through them.
Cal Drexler has gotten used to balancing on the edge of disaster. Officially, he’s a “breaker,” dismantling rogue enchantments before they spiral out of control. Unofficially, he’s a morph—illegal, dangerous, and one secret away from being locked in an Agency containment cell.
When a string of ritual circles scar the city with demonic energy, Cal finds himself dragged deeper into the Shamrock Disposal Agency’s war against unseen forces. Each gateway hums with power meant to pierce the veil between worlds, and someone out there is determined to finish the job.
Now Cal is caught between suspicious agents, desperate allies, and a violet-eyed stranger who seems to know more about his nature than he does. To survive, he’ll have to play along with the Agency’s games while hiding the truth of what he is—and decide whether absorbing the wrong kind of magic will save his city… or consume it.
Splintered Gates is a sharp, fast-paced urban fantasy full of dangerous magic, shadowed conspiracies, and a reluctant hero whose greatest talent may be the very thing that gets him killed.

I didn't enjoy it a much as book 1.
I'm surprised that I read the whole book. There was too much uncertainty in the main character and unlike young women, I dont enjoy unresolved sexual tension between characters. The book was also very slow paced and too many technical things that encouraged me to skip ahead.

epic magic
Great book, can’t wait to read more in this series if that happens.
I couldn’t put this book down, it mixes magic with technology in a way that feels almost real or plausible. I do feel there was a lot of things left unanswered, only time will tell if we the readers get those answers . Can’t wait for book 3!

Definite page-turner. Can't wait to see what happens next with Cal and the Agency. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long for what's coming. :)
