Atticus for the Undead (a legal fiction) by John Abramowitz
Don’t be thrown off by the word ‘legal’. Yes, it is a legal
thriller, but no, it’s not hard to follow. The writer gives you all the
information and more that you will need for following the book. And you really
could easily push this into a few other categories. It’s full of humor, magic,
and drama.
Atticus for the Dead starts off in the real world after,
what is called, ‘the unveiling’ has happened and all manner of beings
(vampires, zombies, and such) have stepped out into the light. Mankind is now
at the point where they are in in conflict about political actions and rights
towards the sudden appearance of the supernatural beings. Neighbors, family
members, and friends can be one of them,
one of the supernatural. Movements have started up, both against and for,
supernatural beings. And when a supernatural (Arcane) is against the wall in
matters of the legal kind, who will rise up to help?
And that’s where out man comes in! Hunter Gamble is just the
man for the job! He’s a lawyer come to save the day and he’s bringing his A -game.
This book is a great balance of snappy dialogue mixed into a
legal mesh of fun with great characters. I would have finished the book a lot
faster if work hadn’t forced me away! Though I can see where some people would
be put off by a book like this, I would say at least give the first three
chapters a try. I give this book a four out of five.

Hunted Moon by K.B. Miller
Having not read the series before, I can say that this story
alone is a nice start, a nice background or foundation for the series in my
mind. It has a well put together beginning, middle, and end, and enough action
to keep you interested. I know I was! I finished it in one read and was
completely satisfied. It really was something worth picking up and enjoying.
This story leads with one of two sisters having come of age
to join in her mother’s coven, but she is shaken by an encounter of the
vampiric kind. With her sister mad at her, the weight of joining the coven, and
the thought that she is going to have to KILL creatures (vampires), she isn’t
sure she can handle it all. But when her sister’s life is in danger, Leeny must
find the strength with the Goddess to be the Witch she is destined to become. I give it a five out of five.
