M/M. One has powers. The other does not. They protect each other and make each other more powerful and it’s hot.

Compelling Characters, terrifying magic, and some gruesome descriptions of murder. It went by so fast, but the plot was finished without feeling rushed, while still leaving room for the next books in the series. There is a nine year age gap between the leading characters, (28 and 37) and the sex is kind of kinky.

Earl Lucien Crane hires a shamn, Stephen Day, to save him from what he believes to be a curse. Despite a dark familial history, where Crane's father destroyed Day's parents' lives, he agrees to help, and finds himself pulled into evil plans much larger than he initially realised.

This was a great book with a well-written paranormal plot, and steaming tension that culminated nicely. The mystery unravelled beautifully, with a satisfying culminating fight.

My two biggest gripes with this were: how quick everything moved (some parts felt much too rushed); and a difficulty in following all the different players and what they were doing in the fight scenes.
