wslockard 's review for:

Maelstrom by Jordan L. Hawk
3.0

Local murders! A coded spell book that everyone is trying to steal. A very dangerous motor car that can travel a terrifying 20 miles per hour

Also, wedding planning. Family from the sea assisting

Apparently no one could predict the wedding getting crashed by the bad guy who was very obviously bad, but no one suspected his attempted dark sorcery because everyone thought he was a dum dum. Assisted by evil rat.

Bonus appearance of the technology: the telephone

Most weird part: bad guy swaps bodies with one of our heroes

Difficult to imagine one’s own brother being the boss bad guy

The big bridge over the river is a focal point of all the power

Wow, the city is sentient and wants to prevent an invasion from “masters” from the “Outside”
