Just finished this book and I thought I’d take t Just finished this book and I thought I’d take the time to share the very first book review I’ve ever written. Something I’ll add here, that I didn’t put in the general review, the violence is very well done. The author knows what’s up, and is a member of the training community. 

Full Disclosure: The author has been an acquaintance of mine for several years. 

Blood and Whispers is part murder mystery and part psychological profile, set in a modern world where magic exists, and it doesn’t like you very much. 

The book does an excellent job of being entertaining while also taking the concept of an origin story, and approaching it from a rarely seen angle. 

When we meet him, The protagonist isn’t searching for power, he’s already got it. He’s not looking for dragons to slay, they’re already dead. He’s not hungry for glory, he’s earned that and found it chafes. Instead we meet a man whose greatest enemy, is himself. 

I *greatly* enjoyed the author’s effort at examining the emotional toll wielding the power of creation might take on a man after several lifetimes, and enjoyed even more seeing what would force such a man to reenter the world again. 

If you enjoy Jim Butcher, or Lev Grossman, and would have liked to have seen Hermit Luke figure out his issues without suckling from a space manatee and turning into a pacifist, you’ll probably really enjoy this book. 

I’m incredibly hopeful the author continues the series, as I’m excited to see what comes next.

Here’s my 37 second video review of the @phlster Here’s my 37 second video review of the @phlster Enigma, used in conjunction with a @darkstargear G34 length holster. Yes, that’s a @boresight_solutions G45 with a @trijicon RMR. Yes, I’m wearing sweatpants. Yes, it’s comfortable. No, it doesn’t shift. Yes, it has completely changed how I conceal and carry a firearm. 

Enigma meets or exceeds the capabilities of a traditional belt/holster combo. I am a believer.
