BLURB:

Jonah Carrow just wants a quiet, hex-free life. It’s harder than he’d thought.

Despite his best efforts, though, magic trouble just keeps finding him. If it’s not his dead relatives trying to turn breakfast into a ouija board, it’s a crow with bad tidings at his door.

Jonah doesn’t know what’s worse, that warlock biker Shiloh has decided to call in his marker…or that he only did it to get him to pass on a message. It turns out that Luke, Jonah’s not-exactly boyfriend, hasn’t been taking the Crossroad Crows calls. …

And when things go wrong, despite not being in the first draft to be called up, Jonah gets roped in to find answers. Now he’s knee-deep in secrets, curses, and the sort of temptation in lean, blond Shiloh that is definitely not going to help Jonah stay on the straight and mundane.

On top of all that? He’s getting sick. Without a hex to help put a thumb on the scales, Jonah really can’t catch a break.

REVIEW:

This book was quite a lot!  In keeping with the previous book, we get about as many questions as we get answer 🙂  Jonah is still try to keep from using his magic, but he’s hard pressed.  Between the Crows, a curse, trying to protect Luke as well as pay his debt and find answers, he’s got a MORE than full plate.

Once again Jonah is pressed by the Crows – Shiloh, Levi and Witch – to pay off his debt to them for their help with the events of the previous book.  It’s never good to be indebted to these people.  Then there is his brother’s ghost who is still stuck to him like glue.  When he witnesses an “accident” while at job on a night crew repairing a bridge, he has no idea that it’s going to set off a series of events that pull him into something much more sinister.  And much more detrimental to not only his health, but an attempt to take out the Crows.

He lets his guard down too many times and almost pays the ultimate prices.  He’s not sure he’s happy that he didn’t because his life is surely a lot more difficult these days.  He’s trying to put all the pieces together because many times the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know.  Along with way he has to try to get information out of the dead and that’s not too easy either!  When the dead or cursed keep taking over other bodies, well Jonah’s life gets a LOT harder and he’s got to figure out another way to get rid of this curse or things will get even worse for him.  If that’s even possible 😉

This book has a lot of action!  I still don’t like the horror aspects – that does nothing for me.  But I liked how hard Jonah fought.  For himself and his “friends” for lack of a better word.  He doesn’t really have any.  Some things get resolved, but there are still questions and I’ll be interested to see what comes next.  Recommended
