Finding out what happened to Silas had become an obsession.
One which consumed my every waking moment.
Only, while I’ve been distracted, the balance of power in the paranormal world has shifted alarmingly, the underworld’s contempt for humanity spreading like poison.
And now, recognising the threat I pose to their plans, they’ve started to eliminate those closest to me.
So, in order to settle matters, I’ve been forced to enter the world of dark magic. A world where demons hold sway and deceit and betrayal are commonplace.
It’s one hell of a gamble but in order to protect my family and friends I must be prepared to risk everything – mind, body and soul.
I have always been an avid reader - I found a love of books from my days lost in the local library and had an adult library card from the age of 9 (which allowed me to get out more books than I could carry!) This took me along the career path of becoming an English teacher and I have had an extremely happy career sharing my love of language , novels and drama with young and old alike. I am the father of three wonderful young women- who make me proud to know them everyday- and they are the inspiration for the central character of the resourceful and strong Bronte in Urban Witch.
The second book in this promised trilogy continues the breathtaking pace of the first; it opens straight into a tense, violent and terrifying encounter. The 'turn on a sixpence' juxtaposition of recognisable modern London and scenes dredged from mythological nightmare is a hallmark of this writer and masterfully handled. There is further exposition of hints from the first book - read it in sequence and wait for the final instalment!
If anything this was worse than the first in the series. Same 'London' which is neither the real London nor a fantasy version of it but a crumbling film lot of the backstreets of an American city.
