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!

Hex-Rated by Jason Ridler



I saw a lot of Jim Butcher in this book.   Ridler’s style is different and he is more graphic and sets more adult scenes than Butcher.   Glenn Cook also has a magical private eye and again quite different than Ridler’s style.   That I see this work as a reflection of Cook and Butcher  is not in any way disparaging Ridler or his work.   I truly enjoy those authors’ work and enjoyed Ridlers.

The book looks like it will be a series and I look forward to reading more.  Ridler portrays a protagonist that has had a rough life and hopes to help others deal with their rough lives.   James Brimstone, the protagonist, is flawed and quite human.  

Brimstone sets out to help a damsel in distress and discovers that there is far more involved than originally met the eye.   I particularly enjoyed the detergent box reference and wonder how many readers will recognize the significance.   Perhaps only us old guys.

I enjoyed the book and recommend it.

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