After defeating the Green Man, you’d
think there wasn’t much else for me to be afraid of in this world.
But then again, you never met my
family.
When my mother’s attacked, Thelma and
I are whisked off to Las Vegas to find out what happened. The whole thing
stinks, especially after I found out a deep, hidden secret three months ago. A
secret that explains why my childhood was filled with alcohol and pain.
But secrets are the name of the game
in the City of Sin. And it turns out the attack on my mother is linked to a
name I’ve been hearing in whispers for months now. A name associated with
demons and ancient forest gods. Someone who is a myth, even among the gods and
goddesses that walk the earth.
Evan Constantine.
Now with the help of my voodoo practicing girlfriend, a trickster spirit and a
crazy goddess who might just help me or chop my head off (depending on what her
pet lizard tells her), I need to find out who’s after my mother.
I just know it’s going to take a good amount of luck to survive Vegas.
Especially when the house always wins.
Warning: This urban fantasy contains snarky gods and goddesses, action,
mythological beasties, and a good ole’ murder mystery. If you’re a fan of Neil
Gaiman, Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs or Seanan McGuire, you’ll love this brand
new world where ancient forgotten gods walk hidden among us, and angels and
demons fight for our very souls.
Excerpt:
“So let me get this straight,” Thelma asked through clenched
teeth. “Someone got you drunk, and because of that you destroyed my
shop?”
“Technically, he destroyed your shop.” Coyote nodded
at me. I grasped Thelma’s hand, giving it a gentled squeeze in hopes to prevent
her from throttling the cocky bastard. Coyote looked calm, but I could see his
own fury bubbling underneath. My anger was there too, don’t get me wrong, but I
tend to not slap around angry gods unless I absolutely have to.
“And no, I was not drunk,” Coyote snapped. “If I was
drunk, this would be a lot more interesting than the Elk Man visiting you.
Someone did this to me,” he said, astonished and pissed. He jumped to
his feet and paced with increasing rage.
We all flinched back, including Thelma.
“This is unacceptable.” The god paced in anger. “If Crow did
this, I’ll make his feathers fall out for a millennium. Kaulu, Loki, Iktomi, I
don’t care who did this, they will feel my wrath—”
“Are you done?” I asked. “Because I have my own questions.”
“You’re going to piss in my cornflakes, flesh bag?” Coyote growled as he glared
at me.
I didn’t budge. “You heard me. I’ve just cleaned up your
mess, and we deserve some answers.”
“And why should I answer them?” Coyote snarled.
“Because you owe us. We saved you the embarrassment of having
the city destroyed by your wet dream.”
For a moment I thought I’d pushed him too far, but I was too
exhausted to care.
Then Coyote smiled, and that was far scarier. “That’s true,”
he said. “That’s very, very true. Raven would never let me hear the end of
it.”
“You don’t remember anything from last night?” I asked. “No
strange magic? No obvious enemies around?”
“I always have enemies around,” Coyote said, “but no
one special last night. I passed out around two in the morning and ended up
here. Someone… did this to me,” he repeated.
“But who could pull off something like that?”
Coyote cocked his head. “Well, that’s a longer list than I
care to admit.”
“What do you mean?” Thelma asked. “I don’t know of anything
that has the juju to do that.”
“These days are a-changing, little mambo priestess,” Coyote
said.
Thelma’s teeth clenched again. I glanced over at Jake,
expecting an angry retort, but he remained stoic, taking everything in but
revealing nothing. His silence worried me.
“There’s magic on the wind,” Coyote explained, as if talking
to small children. “Someone is gathering belief, working like little Worm
himself, digging under the cities of logic and reason.”
“Someone is collecting belief?” I asked. “What does that even
mean?”
“It means someone’s messing with the natural order of
things,” Coyote said. Taking his sunglasses off, he glared at me with one
brown eye and one dark green. “Only my brothers and I are
allowed to do that. So, watch your back, little half-man, because someone set
this up in your backyard. Someone believes you’re more important than me, and
that’s unacceptable.”
A sudden wind blew smoke and ash in my face, and I flinched
from his gaze to wipe my eyes. When I opened them again, Coyote had
disappeared.
