Length: 2 hrs and 20 mins

Publisher's summary

Blind dates suck.

Even worse when a trio of strange witches show up at the bar and everything gets weird. I mean, there’s a thief with a grimoire, pregnant witches, and sorcery afoot. Or in cars. I’m not really sure how they’re getting around.

But it’s my job to stop them. I’m the Marshal of Magic and Memphis is my town. Technically, it’s in my territory, but doesn’t my town sound way better? Get out of my territory is so generic and vague. Get out of my town. Now that’s a line a guy can growl.

But the witches have other ideas. They want to call up a demon and conduct a ritual that will unleash a hell on Earth. Lucky for Earth, I can stop them.

With some help. And Luck. I’m going to need it.

Fans of Kevin Hearne and Jim Butcher should binge this series to get a Dresden and Iron Druid fix. If you like your heroes humble, well, the Marshal might not be your guy, but if you like ‘em batting out of their league to right what’s wrong with the world and save normal folks from magical malfeasance, then grab your copy and check him out.

Magic Enforcer

Although this is book #2 in "The Marshal Of Magic" Series, and I haven't read book #1, I still enjoyed this story. It is a creative tale about a man who has a job to protect his area from any magical malfeasance. When he discovers a coven of witches, a thief who has stolen a grimoire, and some inexplicable happenings going on, the marshal will need to check into things. The internal dialogue of the marshal had me laughing out loud. I recommend this book to others with the caveat that some sexual scenes are briefly described. Spencer Dillehay's narration is great and he adds entertainment to the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

A funny witch tale

I loved this story. The lead character is hysterical as he takes on the witches who want to end his life. His wife disappeared years ago and now he heads for her twin sister if he gets in trouble.. I laughed out loud at some of his descriptions of the fights he got himself into. I certainly recommend this audiobook. I read it as an ARC reviewer and hope I get to review the next book. The narrator does an excellent job also.

As funny as it is intense.

Here is the Marshal of Magic back in action. Looking for his wife who's been gone for 12 years now. Waiting on a blind date in a bar, he runs across three witches after a small time thief. Little does he know they were just impregnated by a demon and their bellies grow larger in minutes. His internal dialogue had me laughing my head off, not to mention his conversations with his new ghost friend, Elvis. I was so excited with the Marshal I will be reading books 1 and 3, in my library, right away. Magical fights between dark witches, and a demon with help from his Valkyrie sister-in-law and his ghost. Get ready for some magical battles he survives by the skin of his teeth and a whole lot of humor. Performance got 4 stars due to several places throughout where sentences are immediately repeated. The actual narrator was terrific.

Great!

This book was amazing. The characters, the storyline and the narrator were all absolutely fabulous.

Dark & Gritty Magic

This short Marshall of Magic book (2) feels more like an interlude between books 1 and 3, which is fine if you know that going in. Our Battle Mage protagonist is assigned by The Judge to protect his territory, and he's on the case. In this case, the first date is a Shocker! No spoilers, but watch out for those first 3 witches, and the other 10, and their Leader!! Plenty of action, magic, and dark humor. Fun stuff and I'm looking forward to reading/listening to book 3.
