Seraph
Ancient Power. Organised Crime. Welcome to Tower City.
The lawless underworld of Tower City is locked in a power struggle. The assassin Harlequin has taken the Eastern District, which means only the Lorenzo family still stand against her. At least, until she turns her closest allies into her deadliest enemies.
Criminal mastermind Mr Wu has lost everything. But the smartest man in Tower City can’t plan his redemption until he helps the Titan Prometheus find answers that should have stayed hidden.
A warrior named Seraph is on a mission to uncover the truth, a hero cop is being tortured by a megalomaniac with unbelievable power, and a noble bodyguard is about to risk everything he loves. For some of them, it’s already too late.
Tower City will never be the same.

Seraph is part three in the new urban fantasy series Tower City Chronicles. The author describes this as a gritty, character-driven series that tells the story not of an individual, but of a place. Because in Tower City anything can happen...

Three books in and this series is showing no signs of losing momentum. I am loving the characters and seeing how they respond to some beautifully constructed dilemmas, which for anyone who's a writer knows is much harder to write than it may sound. The pacing is spot on and the action is exhilarating. For further measure, it does a great job of wrapping up its own story while leaving you aching for the sequel. Once again Sean, you've nailed it!

What a wild ride and not for the faint hearted. Did not get to see as much of Prometheus as I had hoped, but really enjoyed following Pendulum and Saul. I would not want to be a policeman in the Tower City ... the author is not kind to them, but they do become heroes. Enjoyed the pace, but wish I had more time to luxuriously sit down and read it all in one go!

Sean Guy has written a real page-turner in this third installment of the Tower City Chronicles. I couldn't put the book down, squeezing in reading sessions around my other commitments until I got to the cliff-hanger ending.
This series has gotten better with each volume, and I'm now planning on re-reading the first two books.
I don't often say this, but I'll be contacting the author to find out when Book 4 will be released.
Highly recommended (but start with Book 1 - 'Firebringer', so you get the whole gripping story).

Well this series just keeps getting better and better! So many characters but the development is great for all of them, it's as if you know them! Love the twists and turns of the seemingly unrelated story threads that all end up weaving together. The story is amazingly engaging. Sean is really nailing his development as an author and leader of his genre.
