About this listen
1881 - Special Agent Gillian Hamilton, magic caster for the Federal Bureau of Magic and Steam, has recovered from injuries obtained while in Shallow Grave, Arizona. Now back in New York City, Gillian makes an arrest on New Year’s Eve that leads to information on a gangster, known only as Tick Tock, who’s perfected utilizing elemental magic ammunition. This report complicates Gillian’s holiday plans, specifically those with infamous outlaw, Gunner the Deadly, who promised they’d ring in 1882 together.
The two men stand on the cusp of a romance that needs to be explored intimately and privately. But when Gillian’s residence is broken into by a magical mechanical man who tries to murder him on behalf of Tick Tock, he and Gunner must immediately investigate the city’s ruthless street gangs before the illegal magic becomes a threat that cannot be contained.
This might be their most wild adventure yet, but criminal undergrounds can’t compare to the dangers of the heart. Gillian must balance his career in law enforcement with his love for a vigilante, or lose both entirely.
The novel-length follow-up to The Engineer, in the exciting new steampunk series, Magic & Steam.

Smart men never dabble with demons. I never claimed to be smart, but at least, I’m powerful enough to control them. When I bound Havoc to me nearly 300 years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow, my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along.

Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part. What’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner - an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it. Marcus - or, as I like to call him: Fangy McFangface - would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

Evil is most assuredly afoot - and Britain’s fate rests in the hands of an alluring renegade... and a librarian. These are dark days indeed in Victoria’s England. Londoners are vanishing, then reappearing, washing up as corpses on the banks of the Thames, drained of blood and bone. Yet the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences - the Crown’s clandestine organization whose bailiwick is the strange and unsettling - will not allow its agents to investigate. Fearless and exceedingly lovely Eliza D. Braun, however, with her disturbing fondness for dynamite, refuses to let the matter rest...

In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

One of the best relationship dynamics in m/m fantasy
This series has an interesting set of universe rules and the attention to period detail enriches it (although the dialog is occasionally anachronistic). My favorite part is the relationship between the two characters. Yes the main character is a nerdy short outcast and yes his love interest is dark and brooding. But that’s where the cliches stop. Their relationship is much more thoughtful and egalitarian than I’m used to seeing (namely the small nerdy protagonist always being protected and ravished by Mr Tall, Broad-shouldered, and Antisocial) and that’s why I’m coming back to read this again.

Declan is a KEEPER
Gosh this was such an amazing, emotional performance. that's saying a lot considering one MC is a bit stoic and monotone lol.
I had wondered if those last few scenes were gonna hit as hard when i knew what was coming, but the delivery was SO GOOD i was waiting with bated breath and felt the same gripping feelings!
As someone completely new to steampunk and any sort of paranormal readings, I felt the audio really helped make the picture clearer for me. I've always been more of an audio learner and it really brought out how well Poe builds up the world and Gillians magic. Even as a rookie, even when reading alone, ive never felt overwhelmed or confused. This just made everything more vivid and allowedme to be just as wowed by the magic as the characters. Declan is a KEEPER 😍🔥

Such a Treat!
I am such a fan of everything C.S. Poe writes. I couldn't wait to get my hands on The Gangster, book 2 in the Magic & Steam Series. I wasn't disappointed!
This author has created such an amazing world that the reader can get lost in.
Gunner and Gillian are back together, caught up in trouble yet again.
Sit back, buckle up and get ready for the ride of your life.
The Gangster is a fast paced, action filled mystery/romance that is a joy to read!
Declan Winters does an outstanding job of bringing this story to life!

Fantastic story!!
C.S. Poe has an awesome imagination! Gillian and Gunner are back!! This was fantastic!! Gunner has come to New York to spend New Years with Gillian when Tick Tock strikes! A magical, mechanical man breaks into Gillian’s apartment and tries to kill him. Gunner helps to thwart the attack. The stakes have never been higher!! The world that C.S. Poe has created is amazing and whimsical! The characters have depth. I was anxious reading the story, I never knew what was going to happen next. This was an amazing story. I loved the pace of the story, it did not flounder. Great character development! Declan Winters does such a fantastic job with the narration!! Sooo freakin good!!

Combine a criminal and a law man and the magic is explosive
The Gangster by C.S. Poe was given in exchange for an honest review. Imagine, New York end of 1881 into 1882. Gillian Hamilton, a federal agent meeting the number one wanted man Gunner the Deadly for New Years Eve. The presence of TicTock and his deadly band of monsters ruins Gillian and Gunner’s date. With the weird new magic and its effect on Gillian as well as his boss Moore finding out who Gillian was dating it was going to be a long few days. I loved this Audiobook. Declan Singers was the perfect narrator in his wonderful voices of Gunner and Gillian the audiobook brought a whole new dimension to the story. The story was engaging right for word one. The descriptions and world building Poe gave us was like being an observer as the events took place.
The chemistry between Gunner and Gillian is beautiful and so real in essence you want them to be together always.
