review 1: Colin Bliss is a book hunter. Itching to get out of desk work and back into the field, Colin takes a private job to recover a witches grimoire that could spell the end of the world. Magister Septimus Marx is tagging along with Colin, but is he aiding or inhibiting Colin's quest? This fantasy mystery caught me by surprise. I been plowing through Mr. Lanyon's catalog which has so far been mostly contemporary, with a few set in America of the past. This one sort of felt a little in the steampunk genre. I had a fun time with it. Nice sexy scenes with Colin and Septimus are a bonus to this wonderful story.
review 2: This is another masterful story crafted by Josh Lanyon - the mystery/hunt was fairly unique and the world was built subtly, without just dumping lots of... more description on the reader. I enjoyed the way it felt like an alternate history world - one where Magick existed and things like the American Revolutionary War didn't happen. The romance was also neat - the two fought against it, but love won out even over what looked like death being the duty of one. less
