Reed Lavender #2
The Radiant King
Things aren’t exactly getting easier for Reed Lavender.
Old obligations and new cases are piling up but in the aftermath of Feronia’s defeat, answers are still too thin on the ground.
But one clue – his father’s knucklebone – might just lead to something big.
To learn the truth about his parents’ disappearance, Reed will have to take the fight to whoever is behind the growing turmoil in his city. And if the rising number of Spirit-Worms, needy Gods, vindictive lawmen and only somewhat-helpful cousins don’t stop Reed, then his sense of duty might do what the others cannot.
Because Reed now finds himself caught between two goals – solving the murder of Elise or chasing down whoever stole the Goddess’ hand, an unfathomable thief who might hold answers about his parents…

It had been a while since I’d read the first book in the series, but I was eager to start this second book. It didn’t take long before I was drawn back into the story. Reed is a paranormal investigator, and this is my absolute favorite genre. He’s only half-human, and he’s playing in the gods’ field where they don’t particularly care about mortals, but he tries his best to get their help to solve this latest wrinkle in this plan for vengeance. This is a non-stop, action-filled engaging mystery, and I can’t wait to dive into the third book. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

The Radiant King is a continuation of the first book. The first book left a cliffhanger. This book continues to investigate the girls death, the missing parents and a new problem that has come to town.
