Review: Rise of the Mages (The Age of Ire #1) by Scott Drakeford
Rise of the Mages is Scott Drakeford’s debut novel and the first in The Age of Ire series. I found this book to be unique and adventurous, and, while parts of it left me wanting, very impressed with the story overall.

Review: This Quest is Bullshit (This Trilogy is Broken #1) by J.P. Valentine

Review: One Foot in the Fade (The Fetch Phillips Archives #3) by Luke Arnold
Detective and noir fiction is one of those sweet spots for me as a reader. Those times when I’m not reading fantasy or science fiction, I love basking in the mystery and dark explorations of books by Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and the like. There’s something raw about those works, their characters and their worlds, that pulls me in every time.
That’s why my discovery of the urban fantasy detective genre five or six years ago quite literally blew my mind (it’s a mash-up made in heaven!). I have since devoured countless great genre-blending gems, and Luke Arnold’s The Fetch Phillips Archives stands high among them. Now, three books in with One Foot in the Fade, I can safely say this is a series that has cemented itself as some of the best urban fantasy detective literature out there.
