2 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
This urban fantasy boxed set contains the first three books of the Preternatural Affairs series: Witch Hunt, Silver Bullet, and Hotter Than Helltown. Readers of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files will love Csar Hawke. My name's Csar Hawke. Im a witch working for a division of the government youve never heard about. The worlds not what everyone thinks it isunless you think that our worlds a pawn in a game of chess between Heaven and Hell, and riddled with as much magic and wonder as it is with evil. In that case, the world is exactly what you think. My place of employmentthe Office of Preternatural Affairstakes a modern approach to an ages-old problem. It used to be that inquisitors would burn demons and the people in league with them. Now we get warrants, perform arrests, put the suspects on trial, and send guilty parties back to the Hell from whence they came with the travel forms filled out in triplicate. This stuff I do with the OPA, it saves lives on most days. Most days, I said. About Witch Hunt There are scratches on Csar Hawkes arms, a discharged Glock on his coffee table, and a dead woman in his bathtub. Yeah, maybe he brought the waitress home for some funhe was too drunk to remember itbut he knows for a fact that he didnt kill her. Hes an agent with the Office of Preternatural Affairs. He doesnt hurt people. He saves them. The cops disagree. Now Csar is running. Isobel Stonecrow speaks with the dead. She brings closure to the bereaved and heals broken hearts. But when she talks to the wrong spirit, the OPA puts a bounty on her head. Tracking down Isobel is the last case assigned to Csar before he bolts. If he finds her, he can prove that he didnt kill that waitress. He can clear his name, get his job back, and bring justice to all those wronged families. Shes just one witch. Hes bagged a dozen witches before. How hard can one more be? About Silver Bullet Former private investigator Csar Hawke has one rule: He doesnt deal with dead bodies. Thats why he enlisted with the Magical Violations Department in the Office of Preternatural Affairs. Hes happy tracking down witches that commit petty crimes, but he leaves the homicides to other agents. Except that hes been assigned to a new teama team that handles special investigationsand the job has suddenly changed. Now Csar has to deal with dead bodies. He also has to deal with necromancers, murderous cults, and demons that can stop a mans heart with fear. This isnt the job he signed up for, but its the job he needs to do. If he survives the first week. About Hotter Than Helltown A killer is mutilating bodies in Los Angeles. Agent Csar Hawke is on the case, but the murderer is ahead of himway ahead of him. Wiping the memories of the dead so that the teams necrocognitive cant talk to them? Done. Preventing magical reconstruction of the crime scenes? Oh yeah. And the murders keep getting more brutal while Csar struggles to catch up. The best way to heat up a cold case is to go to Helltown, where Los Angeless most powerful evil hides out, but even those demons are afraid of the murderer. Their fear adds one more question to the growing pile of unknowns: What kind of bad guy is too hot for Helltown?

Pickpick

This was a pretty good series for me so far. I enjoyed the main character: normal guy who doesn't think very much of himself. I also liked the realism of how the government involves itself, even though it did make me want to throw my Kindle a few times. I'll probably re-read it, I scored the ebook version for free on BookBub. #ilovebookbub 😍.

Just finished book one, working on book two. The unassuming guy next door as hero, with magic & werewolves thrown in. So far so good.
