A dead charm maker is only the beginning.Humanity seems determined to come up with increasingly clever ways to murder one another. They seize upon new technological advances in a way that’s alarming, their creativity and blood-thirstiness knowing no bounds.
When a charm maker is blown up inside his own vehicle, for once it’s not Henri Davenforth’s expertise needed: it’s Jamie Edwards’, the Shinigami Detective. Car bombs are something unique in Kingston, and only she has experience with them. But the unique murder takes an unexpected turn when it becomes evident that the dead charm maker dabbled in something he should not have, inciting disastrous results.
The dangers he unleashed upon Kingston threaten thousands of lives and it launches a race requiring not only Jamie and Henri’s expertise, but the Kingsmen’s as well to beat the menace spreading through the city.
Meanwhile, the murderer is still at large, leaving Henri and Jamie to wonder: what will blow next?

I'm looking forward to the next book in this series. He's my choice for a character I'd like to know better. And Jamie is a character I admire. She's in a totally new environment and doing the best she can. She hasn't lost her humor and is using her skills learned to help others in ways that have not been seen before. Actually there is nothing I found wanting. Story, Characters and I would enjoy having them both as friends. Waiting for the next one.Exceptionally imaginativeThe sort-of steampunk, sort-of fantasy, sort-of sci-fi world that Jaime Edwards finds herself inhabiting odds back and better than ever. Jaime and Henri team up again to investigate a horrific and confounding murder that turns out to have far reaching consequences. As with the first book, the characters are realistic and engaging and the writing is top notch. I look forward to other books set in this world.
ironylook at the dates i wrote this review, amusing, no? this story is about an epidemic situated in Kingston only and what it took for author to see it and the things that had to be done to stop the disease from liking them and the lives of those left. in THIS book the titans of industry and head-of-state jump at helping the people isolated because they were unlucky and of a lower socioeconomic group. sound like the fantasy version of the current coronavirus response plan?
I just learned of this author through one of my bloggers. Read her first book in this series Magic and the Shinigami Detective, and fell in love with Jamie and Henri. Jamie is an earthling (also an FBI agent) who was pulled into a parallel universe (Draiocht) by an evil witch - Belladonna. In the first book we find out that Jamie was experimented upon and as a result of receiving increased strength as a result, she was able to kill the witch. The first book in the series found her paired with
Just as fun as the first! I love the world the author has built, and I love this whole trio. (Also can we talk about this amazing title?)This plot meandered a bit more than the first book, and I feel like we're heading into Ron/Harry/Hermione territory where Jaime might not end up with Henri. Those were the only two disappointing aspects of this installment for me. But I loved that Henri isn't the most powerful but does amazing things with what he has. Hes not powerful, barely above the level of
I love Henri and Jamie, finished the second story.Henri is sent to a car bombing and request Jamie be involved because she has knowledge of car bombings from Earth which leads towards an investigation of bad charms that have caused people to die. The amazing part of the story is a pandemic that takes place and Jamie and Henri try to help and isolate part of their population, just like what is happening now. I can't wait to read the final two books.
