Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Shadow's Blade by David B. Coe





This is an urban fantasy with "were" and runemysters which are for want of a better definition magic casters.  Coe has developed his own lexicon for the Justin Fearsson Investigations Inc. story line.   Justin, as a magic wielding private eye, is enveloped in a life threatening case by, a heart is not gold, gangster who is not a black arts practitioner.    Justin is tasked to find a missing woman and her children.

Coe has an appealing style that draws you in quickly and then creates characters that are memorable.  One of the aspects of  Justin Fearsson's character is that not only is he ethical, he is far more realistic than most fantasy characters.  Justin is not a "kill them all and let the Lord sort them out" type of hero.   All to often fantasies are populated by characters that have no concern for collateral damage of the lives of marginally bad people.   Coe avoids that and thusly imparts a greater sense of reality in an urban fantasy.

This is a well crafted book and I will be looking for other books in the series as well as any thing else this superlative author has written.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
