Scorched Shadows (Hellequin Chronicles #7)

It’s sad to see the end of Hellequin’s story, but now we get to read the start of Nate’s. And, I mean Nate as whole, new, powerful person. I can’t wait to see just what he is capable of now that the blood curse marks are all gone. Of course, a lot is still wrong in the earth realm (and other realms), so I am sure much excitement is still to be had. The author did a great job of wrapping up this story, but still leaving so much left to be told.
For those readers who are wondering, this is not a standalone book. You will be hopelessly lost without the previous books. Read those first, you won’t regret it. The books are available on Kindle Unlimited, fabulous deal – not like many of the abundant series offerings that are no more than a single book broken up.
These books remind me of the Iron Druid chronicles, with the level of detail and research put into mythology.
Do yourself a favor and pick these up, you’ll love them.

Just one quick thought… I thought his wife’s name was Jane, not Mary…

Nate is living a nice semi-retired life becoming reacquainted with Selene, when he is asked by Arthur to go to Shadows Falls and talk to Galahad.
Mordred, Tommy & family, and most of Nates other friends become involved when Elaine is captured.
Much violence and many deaths later, Nate is recovering, leaving us with this section of the Hellequin/Avalon world books being complete. Although, it does leave open for more Nate stories. Also, the Author says its not the last we have seen of Nate.

I am writing this for the whole series. Honestly I was not very thrilled after the 1st book, but I forced myself to go forward, hopping for the best. 1st person dialog is used, which makes a good development of the main character, however, because everything is seen through the eyes of one person, the rest of the characters lack depth, and it is hard to create a bond with them. As you encounter them many times through the story, you get to know them better, however, it is not ideal. You should keep going after 1st book, so do not give up just yet.

The writing is getting better as the story goes on, less cheesy sex, and more action and adventure. In the last book the author gets half the book from 3rd person perspective, which is clearly an improvement in the writing style, and lets you get to know Mordred better.

The narration is quite good, but it takes a little to get used with the narrator, which has some interesting intonations. The last 2 books are narrated by somebody else, which is not a plus(even if narration is good), as you get used with the original one through the previous 5 books.

This being said, I recommend the books, and looking forward to follow the story into the Avalon Chronicles!

I cannot stress enough how much I have enjoyed this series! It’s witty, action-packed, and keeps you engaged throughoit the entire book. I was worried this was the last book, and I’m glad to know it isn’t. There are still too many unanswered questions!
A few discrepancies, but it didn’t take away from the overall story. I’ve reread the all, and they just get better with each read.
Mordred and Nate….wow! Each of these characters are fun to read. Dark, witty, and both standout characters you can’t get enough of. Nate and Tommy’s friendship is such a great portrayal of what true friends are supposed to be. Great to see Selene back in the picture, and any scene with Hades, Remy and Diana are always a joy to read! Grayson was a surprise! I want to see more of Persephone, because she is one bad@$$ fighter! There were a few scenes that I screamed NOOOOOOOO, AND I’M STILL WAITING FOR IT NOT TO BE TRUE!
There’s just too many good things to say. Ending was not what I was expecting, but knowing it steered it into another direction makes it even better!

Wow, talk about twists and turns and delicious reveals! Nate Garrett was such a treat in Crimes Against Magic and, like a long time friendship, he only gets better. He’s a man rooted in the long ago past but, who is reluctantly hip to pop culture. This whole series is full of love, action and tragedy. It’s a helluva ride.
With the huge cast of characters, it’s probably best to begin with Crimes Against Magic and work your way along. Scorched is a good book in, and of, itself. But, the really sink into the story, you need to know the back stories. Start at the beginning. Every one of these books is great. You won’t be sorry.
