4.0
Full Metal Magic is a collection of nine series based urban fantasy short stories. As a girl who must read a series in order, there were only two stories in this collection I read, FAMILY BUSINESS by Rob Cornell and CHASE THE DARK by Pippa DaCosta.
FAMILY BUSINESS by Rob Cornell
I chose Family Business because it was the first in the series and a great way for me to try out new-to-me author Rob Cornell. This little story about a twenty-five year old sorcerer with freshly printed demon hunter license burning a hole in his pocket was a fun, yet surprisingly touching read. While working his first case for the Ministry hunting a goblin, Sebastian must make some tough decisions regarding his work, himself, his family and his future. I definitely will look at more work by this author.
CHASE THE DARK by Pippa DaCosta
I’ve read all of the Ace Dante series thus far and loved every one. So, Ace Dante vs. the mythical sewer gator of NY? Count me in! Of course it’s not an “actual” gator, it’s the God Sobek with a score to settle with the Nameless One. And let’s just say Sobek’s not playing with a full deck, if you catch my meaning. But really, what’s not to love about a vengeful nutjob/gator God loose on NY with Ace and Shu wading to their rescue? Loved this one. My only complaint is it’s not longer. ;)
