Review: The Curse Merchant

The Curse Merchant by J.P. Sloan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hellbound Heart?


This series must be read in order. This is the first book. I can't wait to read The Curse Servant!


Dorian is just lost. No matter what he does or where he looks his brain just refuses to focus... It's like living in a fugue state, almost... And on top of that are the crippling migraines he feels whenever he looks at something wrong or thinks just a little too hard. Suffice it to say he can't remember his last good day... Or even a semi decent one for that matter! His business is even suffering, so when an irate woman accosts him and he can't remember her, let alone what he supposedly hexed her with ... He realizes he has to change and start being more present no matter the cost! He is the only charm and hex guy in Charm City after all! It is time he practiced his craft and really started helping Karma along again!



This urban supernatural fantasy is definitely one of a kind! Packed full of mystery and intrigue so dark and twisted it keeps the suspense and thrills amped through the roof! Gritty and dark, the action and adventure only serve as background for the actual storyline. Mainly is is about coming to terms with your Fate and living the best life you can despite the circumstances you have to contend with. We could all learn something from Dorian's no nonsense take charge attitude when dealt a truly rotten hand! I cannot wait to read the next installment of the breath stealing new series!



***This series is suitable for adult readers who enjoy gritty noir urban fantasies with a humorous antihero who never gives up and never gives in, filled with action, drama, humor, thrills, chills, horror, suspense, mystery, intrigue, mayhem and a dash of romance :)

Finding The Master Code


I read the Kindle In Motion version of this book and it was pure awesomeness! I hope the rest of the series is Kindle In Motion as well! This series must be read in order. This is the first book. I can't wait to read/experience the next one!



Martin was just an average computer geek until he found The File.... Then everything changed. Though shaken to his core, Martin sees the potential for great things in his newfound ability to manipulate reality. If everyone and everything is just computer code... Then almost anything is possible! The prospects are both thrilling and terrifying in almost equal measure. Unable to travel forward in time, the distant past seems like a good place to hide, if things go sideways. After all, who doesn't want to be a wizard? Who or what created the File? Can anyone find it? Or do you have to be special? What are the File's limits? Will Martin get away with altering the file? Or will he get caught? It can't be illegal to modify it... Can it? How many other people know about the File? Is it dangerous?



***This series is suitable for young adult through adult readers who enjoy modern fantasy with a hacker/cyberpunk twist filled with magic, mayhem, mystery, adventure, intrigue, SciFi, plenty of humor and a dash of maybe romance :)
