Publisher's summary

A cycle of ritual murders. A coven of dark warlocks, drawing their immortality from the magic of their dead master. Two men sworn to stop the deaths, destroy the warlocks, and avenge the victims. Except this time, the killer flips the script.

Seth Tanner swore vengeance on the dark witches who killed his brother, Jesse. He rescued Evan Malone from one of the witches, and they've fallen in love despite the danger and chaos, going on the road to complete the quest and bring an end to the ritual murders. Their relationship is still new, tested at every turn by danger and magic.

Seth and Evan head to Charleston to stop the next warlock and save his intended victim. But this time, they're too late. The warlock has already powered up, and he's determined to destroy the two hunters one way or another. A deadly curse on Seth and Evan means time is running out. Can they find a way to turn the tables, or is Charleston their final destination?

Contains mature themes.

Good story. Good narration.

Everything that was starting to bother me about the last book was fixed in this book. I think the author is psychic. We finally get a chance to meet some strong female characters that are a positive influences on Seth and Evan. The fight scenes and the environments that Seth and Evan encounter were easier to visualize. I am also beginning to suspect that there will be a big reveal about why all the deputies ancestors targeted by the witches have chosen a specific type of life partner.

I was excited to get to know some of the characters from Morgan Brice's other series. All of Brice's books seem to connect to together in some fashion.

Once again the narration was enjoyable, and I look forward to the next book.

Another exciting installment

Evan and Seth are almost out maneuvered when the warlock they’re hunting puts a deadly curse on them the day they arrive in Charleston. The news of their quest to killl all the warlocks murdering a son from the same families every 12 years is enabling the remaining warlocks to anticipate and prepare before their arrival. Even though the hunting theme is the same in each book, Morgan Brice writes different twists, turns, and new characters to make each book unique. I found this book very entertaining and despite knowing our heroes wouldn’t die (there’s more wizards to hunt down!), I definitely felt tense with the terrifying experiences Evan and Seth went through.

power couple

this was a deep storyline and heartbreaking seeing our main men falling apart. but the found family and resourcing growing helped to make me feel better
