The Adepts: Gathering
by
J.J.C. Marcoh
Description
Supernatural activity is on the rise, and yet
humanity is blissfully unaware. Lonely demon hunter Atticus Foster meets
a peculiar man in a bar one night, and together they start their work -
a partnership to track, hunt, and kill the things that go bump in the
night. But there are dark forces at play, and shadowy fingers woven into
everything. The fabric of the reality they know is shredding. The
darkness is sweeping in, and as Atticus and her partner gather more like
them, they become aware that on the horizon, as it all comes falling
down, there is something coming...
War.
War.
Review
The
Adepts: Gathering by J.J.C. Marcoh is a fantastic book filled with
intense emotions. Atticus Foster may appear a bit gruff and cold, but
she's a deep and caring character far beyond what I was expecting. The
lore in this book is interesting. The mythological entities are not as
unreachable as you might find in other fantasy novels. These beings are
presented as people. Not humans, of course, but people - powerful
people. I like that this allows for the characters to interact with them
on a more personal level.
I
would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in other urban
fantasy such as The Dresden Files or Sandman Slim. It is a good addition
to the genre and I look forward to future books from this author.
