A wizard detective takes on the bloodiest murder spree in Atlanta history!
On the brink of finally breaking the dwarven smuggler ring in Atlanta, Tallow Jones, Wizard of Mysteries, discovers a far more gruesome monster let loose on the streets. Was this killer brought to our world by the dwarves, or is it a homegrown terror? People are being killed by magic, and Tallow finds himself one step behind.
Through it all, Tallow must deal with modern-life problems like family, demons, finances, deadly pheromones, knitters, dating life, and an Earth elemental bound to a pet rock.
If you like the Dresden Files or the Iron Druid Chronicles, Tallow Jones is going to be right up your alley! Give it a try today! Explore this new side of the Bowl of Souls universe!

BTW... there is a new reader. I was indignant for about 5 minutes, then completely forgot until I was writing this review.
I want to go on an adventure with these characters

This is a light, noir, detective magic story that is suitable for young and old even if the father has difficulty with his no-swearing bet he made with his 8 yr old daughter.
Bad things are happening in Chicago. Blood is spilt and the body count is rising. Tallow Jones' magic alone may reveal who the killer is. Who or what the killer is..
This series is really starting to take shape.

That being said it was like a new pair of boots, put it on at first it was hard to move and rubbed me the wrong way but a few chapters in they were comfy as a second skin (is that comfortable, not sure but sound good like TJ Clark's voice).
I beleive this is second book surpasses the first Tallow Jones book. Now that the characters are developed it opened up a great world for them to roam and cover people in awakenings! It's a very fun read and we have a few new characters to round out the world!
You should definitely give this a listen if for no other reason then to loose your self in a fun tale of manic murder and the wizard of mysteries!
Yes new narrator (with big shoes to fill)

I enjoyed the book almost as much as book one! I think if it had the other narrator I would have enjoyed it more! This narrator was good but the other one was great! This makes a book to from a 5 star to a 4 star.
Tallow has to deal with a someone bringing in something or somethings into this world that doesn't belong. Only he can fight it since only a handful of people know he has magic.
The characters are great but the way it was told it didn't come out as funny as book one 😣. I was counting on giggling. The clever and witty lines were there but the delivery wasn't. Ugh!
The narrator was good but just not for THIS book!
I miss the narrator from book one! 😢

I put off this series way too long.

This time around, Tallow is still trying to bust up the dwarven criminal activity and is tailing a monster that just might be homegrown. Problem is he can never quite get to where he needs to be and is always playing catchup rather than caught up. I find the magic system to be fascinating and a breath of fresh air. It is rather fun getting to see the mechanics of Tallow's world of magic as it is overlaid onto the mundane lands he now lives. I said it before, this book reminds me of when the Dresden Files were just starting and we were only getting glimpses of the awesomeness that was to come. This series has that same feel to it, it is fairly electric, and I love it whenever Tallow low key uses magic and then the same when he throws down hard and heavy against some mystical foe or obstacle. Jones deftly handles crooked cops as well as monstrous nightmares, struggles to rebuild his connection to his family and even balance his love life? What? When did he find time for that?
I can say that this book never slows down once you start and you will find that it ends far too quickly. The confrontation scenes (I don't want to call them fight scenes as they go far beyond your everyday battle) are clever and inventive in their delivery. Jones is an intriguing character, and I am coming to realize that he actually comes from the place written in the Bowl of Souls series, so maybe I'll check that out so that I can get a better idea on how the magic works and a better grasp on the world he visited to get his magic.
We change narrators for this go around, and I am a little saddened as I liked Andrew Tell's narration. That being said I really enjoyed Clark's take on the wizard's adventures. One thing I will caution Mr. Cooley with is that listeners like consistency with their narrators, and swapping frequently can push us away. Stick with one, even if you have to wait for it to be released. On that note, I also like the cover far better this time and appreciate that the cane is spotlighted once again.
I reiterate, this series continues to improve, impress, and intimidate lesser UF books. jump on the train while it is in the station and enjoy the ride. Don't be left behind.

This is the first Trevor H Cooley book that I've read. He is quite skilled in plot pacing; excellently balancing story line, character development, and scene description & tone... the hours flew past! I see plenty of raw material for a great series of books and, unfortunately, plenty of reasons to want to escape reality for a bit. I'm honestly looking forward to Tallow's next mystery.
While I'm waiting for book 3 to come out, I'll backtrack and listen to book 1. I hope the narrator of that book is as gifted as TJ Clark is at giving voice to the diverse characters of Tallow Jones' world.
Oh No, I'm Hooked on Another Great Book Series!
