À propos de cet audio

Irresistibly drawn to mysteries, if only to debunk them, reporter Lionel Page exposes supernatural frauds, swindlers, and charlatans. His latest case is an obsession—at least for an ancient and wealthy heiress: verify the authenticity of a lost Edgar Allan Poe manuscript circulating through New York City’s literary underworld. But the shrewd Regina Dunkle offers more than money. It’s a pact. Fulfill her request, and Lionel’s own notorious buried past, one he’s been running from since he was a child, will remain hidden.

As Lionel’s quest begins, so do the warnings. And where rare books go, murder follows. It’s only when Lionel meets enigmatic stranger Madison Hannah, his personal usher into the city’s secret history, that he realizes he’s being guided by a force more powerful than logic…and that he isn’t just following a story. He is the story.

Now that the true purpose of his mission is revealing itself in the most terrifying ways, it may finally be time for Lionel to believe in the unbelievable.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“The writing is vivid and quick, and a romantic subplot sheds light on Lionel’s many dimensions as a protagonist, including his sharp wit. Dark fantasy readers, especially fans of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series, will appreciate the complex world-building and layered mythologies. Schaefer is an author to watch for in this genre.”--Booklist

It's about witches. Like, modern day witches who do magic. I was not expecting that. If witches are your thing, go for it, you might enjoy it. Probably not, though, because the writing is not good. Also, the author can't really write female characters. The lead female sets my teeth on edge. She has a bad case of the "aren't I cute and sassy's." The lead male is one dimensional. He goes from hardened skeptic and debunked to true believer in the Craft in two days. Without any cognitive dissonance. Or even feeling a little overwhelmed. Then there is the inevitable romance, which is cloying and hokey.
Actually, I think the best word for the story as a whole is hokey, in the worst way.
8 hours in, 6 to go, I had to quit. Life is to short to waste on books that, to put it bluntly, suck.
This is my very first Did Not Finish. It was that it irredeemable.

I don't know if I can finish
