Justin Gustainis

Evil running amok, killing little kids for their organs, a Black Magician who comes across as a spoiled little boy who did not get his way and several people intent on stopping the coming of, well, the END. Though Gustainis writes a fairly good story, his dialogue can be quite clunky and awkward at times and I think he tries too hard to explain stuff that should be obvious to the reader. Still, I enjoyed this book.

This is the name dropping book and I found myself wondering just how close to copyright you can skim before tipping over the edge ...

~The characters go to Chicago chasing leads down and with the intent to speak with Harry "Chicago's resident wizard" Dresden. They also visit Mac's Bar. While in Chicago, Morris tries to get in touch with Carl Kolchak but Tony is less than cooperative. LOL

~Hannah Widmark, the woman Morris hires to watch his and Libby Chastain's backs, was trained to shoot Colt .45s by a guy named Cranston ... cue eerie laugh.

~Even the X-Files gets named checked!

I'm not to sure who Frank in the text is, or what the whole fist shake he shares with Hannah is, though it could be just Gustainis' own addition to his universe. I kind of wonder if he wasn't trying for a reference to Supernatural.

I'm beginning to think there ought to to be a convention of wizards, magic workers, monster hunters etc. including Harry, Alex Verus, Quincy Morris & Libby Chastain, Peter Grant, the Winchesters ...… (plus d'informations)
