Trick of the Night

The Bad Guys, Book 8

By: Eric Ugland

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

Forced behind enemy lines. Ready to do battle with slavers, spiders, and ghosts.

Say hello to the new and improved Clyde Hatchett...who's only a level-four nothing.

He's on a (seemingly never-ending) quest to get back to his life in Glaton. And now, all that stands in his way are the Empire-hating Carchedonians, a death cult, and a traitorous party member. Oh, and a mythical city that very probably doesn't exist.

Prepare to be blown out of the water on this cutthroat journey through the darkest corners of Vuldranni. Clyde has reached the end of his known world. And that's where the adventure begins.

Good but flawed

I enjoy the bad guys series. However, between this book and the previous I feel like we are getting filler. Some filler is fine, but honestly both books could have been combined into one. Hopefully the next book finally has some actual progress. Also, some of the characters are starting to wear on me and hopefully will go away in a book or two. I’m ready for some of the original characters to come back.

more of a sidequest

This was definitely a side quest, no real progression, but I like the world and am still interested in seeing where he takes us with good guys and bad guys

much better, can't wait for next!

Good book, nice story with some twists. can't wait for the next book to be released.

great story as always.

funny and good story as always, he always does right in either good guys or bad guys series.

Good, but

Really love both The Good Guys and The Bad Guys. The only issue I had with this book is that we still get no resolution to the main story. A single book, maybe 2 at most of this giant side quest would have been palatable, but it looks like we are gonna get another side quest in the following book of this series.

We started with Clyde Hatchett in Glaton, building a guild and an entire life within the city. Now Clyde Hatchet is sailing the oceans for several books in a row, with almost no one from his original crew. I miss our other characters. I miss the weird, awkward love story that was developing.

As always, I love this author and his books, just looking forward to getting out of the ocean and back to Glaton to continue the main storyline.
