Publisher's summary

Sister murdered, best friend dead, married to the patron saint of death, Santa Muerte. Necromancer Eric Carter's return to Los Angeles hasn't gone well, and it's about to get even worse.

His link to the Aztec death goddess is changing his powers, changing him, and he's not sure how far it will go. He's starting to question his own sanity, wonder if he's losing his mind. No mean feat for a guy who talks to the dead on a regular basis.

While searching for a way to break Santa Muerte's hold over him, Carter finds himself the target of a psychopath who can steal anyone's form, powers, and memories. Identity theft is one thing, but this guy does it by killing his victims and wearing their skins like a suit. He can be anyone. He can be anywhere.

Now Carter has to change the game—go from hunted to hunter. All he has for help is a Skid Row bruja and a ghost who's either his dead friend Alex or the manifestation of Carter's own guilt-fueled psychotic break.

Everything is trying to kill him. Nothing is as it seems. If all his plans go perfectly, he might survive the week.

He's hoping that's a good thing.

urban fantasy with a dark side

I am loving this series, Eric is an ass whenever possible but in general tries to do the right thing. I'm enjoying the Aztec pantheon instead of the usual eurocentric pantheons in this genre.

very good

high quality paranormal nior mystery thriller. only real gripe is the abundance of sudden nausea and injury related handicaps leading the mc to either make dumb decisions or just straight up lose engagements hed normally win. it's better then having no good reason for the plot relevant things happening despite the MC's wishes, but using the same 3 excuses enough gets old.

anyway good book regardless.

Good story up until...

A frustrating novel. Up to a certain point, it's an exciting story about a supernatural pair of stalkers with terrific action and great characters. But the protagonist spends a great deal of the novel trying to escape a deal with a supernatural creature only to make another obviously bad deal with a different supernatural creature? It feels like an unnecessarily stupid character decision that goes against the entire plot of the novel. Having characters make bad decisions simply to set up plot is one of my least favorite tropes, and here it's pretty eyerolling.

Good Performance, Bad Story

I found the story so predictably upsetting it made me angry. I wish it had been better.
