Author Linda G. Hill has done it again. She has managed to surprise me, entertain me, frustrate me, amuse me, and make me cry with her new release, The Magician’s Blood. This book is second in her series, The Great Dagmaru. Her main characters, Herman and Stephen continue their journey while facing unspeakable challenges when Stephen’s Incubus nature is revealed.
This book is a true gothic intended for audiences 18+ and releases on August 10, 2018. Linda graciously let me read an ARC in exchange for a fair review. I may have pestered her a little bit because I adored The Magician's Curse.

Exciting
Definitely worth reading! It was a little more violent than the first book which I didn't enjoy, however, the story is entirely gripping and the characters make you care. Even the badies.

Stephen’s magical act is on tour all over Canada and with Herman playing a big part in the act, it looks like things are on track. However, Herman and Stephen’s relationship is as complicated as ever and with more of Stephen’s demonic side making an appearance could it get any worse.
With Nina temporarily out of the picture you would think it would help Herman’s relationship. However, the revelation of the incubus bloodline puts another strain on it. Although it explains a lot about other women’s attraction to Stephen. The tension between him and George Herman’s dad made the threat to Herman’s life more serious, although it did get a bit annoying as George had paid no attention to Herman when she was growing up.
With the addition of Stephen’s old coven friends and both of their families, enabled more magic to appear in the story. This story had more intensity than book 1 as Stephen had upped his game trying to break the curse. With the threat to Herman, a near death experience and heated family arguments made this story a page turner. The author kept you guessing till the end about Nina’s plans and whilst it was hinted it was still unexpected the ferocity of the attack. This story is definitely for adults as the sex scenes were graphic in parts, and whilst they did not add anything extra to the story, they helped enforce the incubus side of Stephen.
Whilst this could be the final book in the story, the ending gave hope for more from Stephen and Herman and of cause my favourite character Aunt Aggie.
