Finished ‘Draykon’ yesterday.
Was a really enjoyable book and i’ll hopefully start the 2nd book in the series next week.
But these two bad boys arrived this morning and i’m diving right in to see if they’re as good as I remember.
I’m getting back into this ‘reading for fun’ malarkey… haven’t done it since I was 17.
I’m halfway through, just about to start chapter 33 and YES.
IT’S AS GOOD AS I REMEMBER
It’s like ‘Once Upon a Time in Mexico’ with an additional supernatural element.
If anyone’s interested…
Detective Miles Jensen is called to the lawless town of Santa Mondega to investigate a spate of murders. This would all be quite ordinary in those rough streets, except that Jensen is the Chief Detective of Supernatural Investigations. The breakneck plot centres around a mysterious blue stone - ‘The Eye of the Moon’ - and the men (and women) who all want to get their hands on it: a mass murderer with a drink problem, a hit man who thinks he’s Elvis, and a pair of monks among them. Add in the local crime baron, an amnesiac woman who’s just emerged from a five-year coma, a gypsy fortune teller and a hapless hotel porter, and the plot thickens fast. Most importantly, how do all these people come to be linked to the strange book with no name? This is the anonymous, ancient book that no one seems to have survived reading.
