À propos de cet audio
Alex Verus faces his dark side in this return to the best-selling urban fantasy series about a London-based mage.
To protect his friends, Mage Alex Verus has had to change - and embrace his dark side. But the life mage Anne has changed too, and made a bond with a dangerous power. She's going after everyone she's got a grudge against - and it's a long list.
In the meantime, Alex has to deal with his arch-enemy, Levistus. The Council's death squads are hunting Alex as well as Anne, and the only way for Alex to stop them is to end his long war with Levistus and the Council, by whatever means necessary. It will take everything Alex has to stay a step ahead of the Council and stop Anne from letting the world burn.

Histoire
Alex Verus is part of a world hidden in plain sight, running a magic shop in London. And while Alex's own powers aren't as showy as some mages, he does have the advantage of foreseeing the possible future-allowing him to pull off operations that have a million-to-one-chance of success. But when Alex is approached by multiple factions to crack open a relic from a long-ago mage war, he knows that whatever's inside must be beyond powerful.

Histoire
Stephen Oakwood is a young man on the edge of this hidden world. He has talent and potential, but turning that potential into magical power takes money, opportunity, and training. All Stephen has is a minimum wage job and a cat. But when a chance encounter with a member of House Ashford gets him noticed by the wrong people, Stephen is thrown in the deep end. For centuries, the vast corporations and aristocratic Houses of the magical world have grown impossibly rich and influential by hoarding their knowledge.

The downside to faking your own death is that people tend to get upset when they find out they’ve been had. In Atticus O’Sullivan’s case, they’re upset enough to come after him to make sure he dies for real this time. Yet he can’t remain in hiding anymore: He has to bind his apprentice, Granuaile, to the earth so that she can become the first new Druid in centuries.

Histoire
For someone who’s been alive for two thousand years, Atticus O’Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he’s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt—Artemis and Diana—for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound, Oberon, are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is . . . run like hell.

Histoire
Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer. Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries....

Histoire
Cutting a deal with a trickster god rarely goes well for any human brave or foolish enough to try it, but Atticus doesn’t feel like he has a choice. With members of the Norse pantheon out for his blood, he can’t train his apprentice in peace, so he asks Coyote to help him fake his own death. The cost, however, might wind up being every bit as high as if he’d made no deal at all.

Packed with action, and nothing else.
I've enjoyed the Alex Verus novels up until around book 10. Books 10 and 11 represented a massive change in the style of storytelling.
There's no longer any depth or cleverness to the story, it's turned into chapter after chapter of combat.

What The Heck?
Well, this British urban fantasy series (this is Book 11) by Benedict Jacka, has certainly taken a turn toward the Dark Side. Our hero, mage Alex Verus, is virtually unrecognizable from the guy we met at the beginning. Most notably, he now entertains thoughts such as, “Kill, kill, kill!!”
I’ve thought from the beginning that the author was probably a young man, living in his parents’ basement. I believe he was twenty-nine when he began writing the first book and thirty-two when it was published. There were clues, especially in the way he deals with female characters and their relationship (or lack of it) with the protagonist. Women are to be considered tempting (not to say sexy) if they are wearing clothing that leaves their “arms and shoulders bare.” The love of Alex’s life is kissed, chastely, twice in 11 books. I thought things might heat up when the author married, but it was not to be.
I suppose that could be forgiven were it not for the increasing level of graphic violence. Alex endures, on average, three major battles per book where he alone is pitted against increasing numbers of foul and fiendish foes, none of whom remain alive when the smoke clears. At the beginning of the series, Alex had only one minor magical talent. Now he’s the strongest “battle mage” in the UK — and probably on Earth. It’s odd then that so many of his kills are accomplished by driving a sharp implement (knife, sword, spear) into his opponent’s stomach.
Jacka has said he finished the twelfth and final novel in the series early this year (2021). Who knows, maybe he’ll be able to redeem Alex? I’m worried, though.

Violence exceeds all other books in the series
I preferred when he was dogging the fights
