Cursed


Cursed by Benedict Jacka
293 Pages

The second novel of the Alex Versus series find Alex settling in with his new apprentice Luna and working well with the Council.  Things are thrown in disarray when a mysterious damsel in distress bursts into his shop, being chased by an assassin.  Alex finds himself dragged into a plot to revive a ritual to steal magic from other magical creatures and his friend is smack dab in the crosshairs.

This is one of those series where the protagonist goes through an endless series of trials and tribulations  where things are blown up, destroyed, shot at, folded and mutilated.  After awhile you would think people would stop hanging out with the main character, since he seems to always be the center of trouble. 

This series is similar and may appeal to fans of the Harry Dresden Series by Jim Butcher.
