About this audiobook

A regular life isn't in the cards for Dorian Lake, but with his charm-crafting business invigorated, and the prospect of a serious relationship within his grasp, life is closer to normal than Dorian could ever expect. In the heat of the Baltimore mayoral campaign, Dorian has managed to balance his arrangements with Deputy Mayor Julian Bright with his search to find his lost soul. Dorian soon learns of a Netherworker, the head of a dangerous West Coast cabal, who might be able to find and return his soul. The price? Just one curse.

Sounds easy . . . but nothing ever is for Dorian. A dark presence arrives in the city, hell-bent on finding Dorian's soul first. Innocents are caught in the crossfire, and Dorian finds it harder to keep his commitments to Bright. When the fight gets personal, and the entity hits too close to home, Dorian must rely on those he trusts the least to save the ones he loves. As he tests the limits of his hermetic skills to defeat this new enemy, will Dorian lose his one chance to avoid damnation?

    Soulless charm crafter Dorian Lake is dealing with the aftermath of losing his soul as well as trying to live up to his committments to Deputy Mayor Julian Bright and build his business. He has rental property issues, a possible relationship prospect, and shadows to deal with when his best friends' daughter is caught in the crossfire of the supernatural gunning for him. Now it's a race to save her before the entity eats her soul. Once more unto the breach with Dorian. I said in my review of The Curse Merchant that Dorian reminds me a lot of Harry Dresden and he does. I think its the snarky humor along with the running around like a chicken with its head cut off aspect while trying to solve a mystery so as to come up with a solution. Since Harry is one of my favorite characers I quite enjoy waching Dorian run around. The writing is excellent, I love the characters, there is lots of interesting magic, a mystery to solve and a romantic interest. The plot is like Goldilocks and the Three Bears...not too much, not too little, but just right. The overall arc is solved and yet I know that the Dorian's story has not ended. I am intrigued. I look forward to seeing where Dorian is heading, what he will do, what he will come up against and who will enter and exit his life.

    What I Thought: This book was absolutely brilliant. Whilst you can easily read this book as a stand-alone, I highly recommend you read the entire series (that means those to come as well), as you get a lot of detail in the first book. Though this book is still excellent without the first, the extra depth makes it even better. I really loved the writing style of Sloan. I genuinely felt as though I was a part of the world he had created. Between soul searching and falling in love, you still have time to squeeze in a good bit of action, with a curse or two. Sloan has developed characters filled with depth and personality. I found it easy to become attached to characters, as well as learn to despise others. I felt as though I was a part of the action, mixed up in their crazy world, trying to sort out a situation that only seems to get worse. Sloan provided us with a great read that perfectly blends moments of action and slow moments of love and friendship. It makes the book seem even more real. You get that stop-go feeling you get everyday, especially when there is something you just have to get done, similar to Dorian - ok, it doesn't involve chasing a soul, but you get the picture. I really loved this book and the entire series thus far. I highly recommend giving it a go. The style, depth, pace, character development and urban fantasy plot are written so well you won't be able to put the book down. Trust me.
