review:
Poor Deacon Chalk. He can't even enjoy a dinner out. When the restaurant he is in explodes, Deacon and his dinner guests are left to fend for themselves when they are attacked by three witches. He is then forced to ally with a shadowy government agent when it turns out the people closest to him might be the ones betraying him.
It's a crazy whirlwind of a book, with most of the action taking place over the course of a few hours. Deacon has a habit of not only fighting monsters, but also befriending and protecting them. He is forced to make some tough choices with the team (or not so tough depending on how you look at it), and he needs all the extra help he can find.
Let's be clear, this isn't your typical Urban Fantasy genre novel. Deacon Chalk is all action hero with the weapons to match. The books are frenetic in pace, full of gore and our hero does take his beatings along the way (can you say demon possessed were-gorilla?), but he gives back as good as he gets. If you are looking for deep, meaningful dialogue, this is not for you, but if you want a pulse-pounding read that's quite a bit of fun, check this out.
