Rendition Toward Books Bone Gods (Black London #3)
Witch hunts are on the rise and supernatural turf wars are reaching a boiling point. Then, just when it seems life couldn't get any worse for Pete, Jack reappears—but he's no longer the man she's always known. Hell has changed him forever. And he's brought back with him a whole world of trouble…A cabal of necromancers are using ancient, unspeakable magic to turn the tide of war in their favor. Then, as the city is about to sink into chaos, Pete receives a chilling directive: To end the war, you must kill the crow-mage. Beset from all sides, Pete finds herself turning to an unholy source for help…even if doing so could destroy Black London—and life as she knew it—once and for all.

Bone Gods is a continuation from the last Black London book, Demon Bound, a noir urban fantasy series about an ex-rocker and junkie who is a powerful crow mage - servant to the bringer of death and an ex cop turned private eye who is a Weir, conduit to the crow mage's powers and servant to the guardian of the black gates. In Demon Bound, Jack was dragged to hell by Belial and with his death, Pete went through a mourning phase and life goes on without Jack which doesn't became any better for herI'm a fan of this series so this is automatically biased. I don't mind the British slang and accents, I like the constant cigarette smoking and I get a kick out of the very real and rough and tumble anti-heroes that Pete and Jack both are. especially Jack.Much of this book is Pete alone as Jack is sort of well...indisposed. You get a sense of her grief and my one issue is that she's a bit of a ... well, you'll see. Despite her reactions, it suited her character and really this is the first book
"You've officially dabbled in the deviant side of magic, Pete. Does it give you a naughty tingle?"Loved it! I knew the cliffhanger was coming, but I never would have imagined that it would have been that. I was completely caught off guard. I'm so very unexpectedly pleased. As always, spending time with Jack, Pete, and the Black was such a nice change of pace.Jack and Pete are not, and never will be, an ordinary couple who warms your heart with their classic romance. They are much more likely to
not done with this yet, so i can't say much other than so far, so good.what i can do is complain about the cover art. yet again, jack winter is depicted as a meaty, hunky hero, instead of the wasting junkie he is in the novels. he's a skinny, dirty punk who's spent the last forty years having the shit kicked out of him and shooting up junk. he doesn't eat three squares and work with a personal trainer six days a week. in the grand scheme of things, this isn't a big deal, i know. but ye olde punk
You may also read my review here: http://www.mybookishways.com/2012/05/...Pete is still reeling from losing Jack to Hell, and now her old partner is seeking her help in a murder that has black magic written all over it. Literally. The corpse is covered in carved symbols and sigils indicating dark magic of the worst kind. When Pete heads into the Black to question some folks who might have seen this kind of magic before, shes approached by a couple of toughs and a man that represents the Order of
#3 in the Black London series, Bone Gods is more of what I liked about #1 and #2....gritty black London descriptions, British slang insults and humor, an anti-hero you still can't ever stop hoping will do something nice for once, and a heroine who is tougher than all the other urban heroes out there because her potty mouth makes the bad situations she gets into worse....and she has no powers!Well, actually, Pete Caldecott is a Weir, a kind of power receptacle for mages. But her mage, Jack
I enjoy this series. Sometimes the major action sequences are a bit confusing to me, but because they're actually ((magical)) action sequences, maybe it's just my poor imagination? I'm not sure. I think I may have 3 starred the last book, which doesn't mean I didn't like it-- but I'm certain now that I related better to Pete OR it's just easier to read about their world via Pete than it is via Jack. Jack seems to go on and on in surprisingly semi-poetic mental rants about the Black. The books
