Zealots and gangsters and Voids, oh my. Sometimes working for the god of sex and music isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Lucas Andrews, known as ‘Lucky’ to his friends, is on the run. As a Host, he willingly shares his body with the spirit of Izadore, one of Ihy’s 72 sons and daughters from Ancient Egypt. Hunted by religious extremists, their music-inspired powers spiralling out of control, the pair flees to New York City in order to pursue the only course of action that they’ve been given: Find one of the legendary Muses of Apollo.
But the big city offers big problems and precious few solutions. Just as Lucas and Izadore start to find personal and financial success, they’re plunged into metaphysical chaos and mortal danger. Will they be able to find the right help and training in time? Or will the nebulous Void or their dogged pursuers catch up to the pair and silence them forever?
WARNING: This book has themes of abuse, bullying, physical violence, metaphysical violence, gun violence, sexual discovery, bisexuality, religious extremism, and pagan religious power in the modern world.
Bill Ricardi is a fantasy author from Belfast in the U.K. He has a bent for writing the unusual.
In addition to Another Stupid Trilogy, which is his fantasy series centred around the magic of orcs, Bill is working on a young adult series that involves becoming the avatar of the Egyptian god of music in the modern world.
Bill has a wonderful life partner, and a giant cat named Loki. Both enjoy tormenting him.
The story of Lucas (Lucky) and Izadore (Izzy) continues. Hunted by enemies natural and supernatural, known and unknown and aided by old friends and new friends the duo try to stay ahead of unfolding events. Bill, please hurry up with the next book!
The writing style greatly improved from the first book. The story had good progression and pace. Due to some mature themes, I think this is suited for older teens and up.
