Rating: 4 out of 5

Another great novella from Darkfuse.  I read this book in one sitting and I think most people will do the same.I really enjoy supernatural noir stories.  I enjoyed McMahon’s The Nightsiders last year and William Meikle’s Broken Sigil was another fine example earlier this year.I once read that a New York purse-snatcher a few years ago managed to grab a purse from an elderly lady, tossing her to the ground in the process and injuring her.  The article stated that the victim turned out to be a relative of John Gotti which made me want to be a fly on the wall when the purse-snatcher found out.  Be careful who you steal from.In this novella it isn’t a mafia figure that is robbed, as if that wouldn’t be bad enough, but a secret occult society who has enforcers of a completely different kind at their disposal, and your life may not be the most important thing that you have to lose.A rocket of a novella, firing out of the gate, and screaming to an explosive conclusion with little chance to take a breath.I gave it four stars which in some ways isn’t fair because I would have given it 5 if I wasn’t comparing it in my head to McMahon’s earlier novella, The Nightsiders, which really messed me up last year and was one of my favorites for 2013.Check out both of them.
