smaximiek 's review for:

A Madness of Angels by Kate Griffin
4.0

Matthew Swift, sorcerer, wakes up in his bed.

But there is just a small problem. He has been dead for two years.

And thus starts Matthews' new life, as he tries to make sense of what happened to him - his death, his resurrection, and what is going on in Londons' magical community. New alliances have been formed, his friends have been killed off at an alarming rate, and it appears that some of the people closest to him in his previous life might be behind it.

Kate Griffin takes the idea of magic being everywhere around us and mixes with the urban setting in a way that is a bit disturbing, creating a dark work that is bit reminiscent of Simon Greens' Nightside (but sadly without the great characters).
