Publisher's summary

The game's afoot once more as the long-suffering Dr. John Watson and a partially decomposed Warlock Holmes (though he's getting better) face off against Moriarty's gang, the Pinkertons, flesh-eating horses, a parliament of imps, boredom, Surrey, a succubus, an overly Canadian aristocrat, a tricycle fight to the death, and the dreaded Pumpcrow. Oh, and a hellhound, one assumes.

It lost some of the charm that the first book had

While this was still a very good and entertaining book, it didn't have the wow factor that the first book did by introducing a new idea. One of the nice things this book did was give more background as to how Warlock Homes became who he was and how he was able to do some of these amazing things.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this, it just didn't pull me back to it like the first one did.

Just as wonderful as the 1st book!

This is another excellent book by G.S. Denning! I've just finished this and can't wait to hear the next! Picture Sherlock Holmes as a magic user and Dr. Watson keeping him in check in more fantastic mysteries! I also love that it's many adventures and not just 1. Author please keep writing these!

Book 2 as entertaining as the first!

If you enjoyed the first one, you'll enjoy this one as well. You also get the bonus of delving into Warlock's past, which makes a bit of sense out of a lot of the weirdness that tends to go on. Looking forward to the next one!

Cunning Collection of Reimagined Classics 6/5 Star

Having read and reread, listened and relistened to and fallen in love time and time again with the masterful minds and timeless partnership of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, I was absolutely delighted in stumbling upon this gem of a series penned by G.S. Dennings. The self-described world's first consulting detective finds himself recreated as an absolutely fantastic new character as Sherlock turned Warlock. This series retells the classic stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in a fantastic and wonderful way.

If you have a taste for comedic fantasy novels and are a fan of Sherlock and Watson, this is a must have series. The narration by Robert Garson is an absolutely top notch performance with perfect timing and charming character voices that are uniquely voiced bringing life to every character in the stories. Out of the countless reproductions made of Sherlock and Watson's adventures, this collection is hands down one of the most entertaining and original ideas of what has emerged in the last century. The classics of Doyle are clearly the source material which Dennings makes obviously clear by keeping the titles of most stories either unchanged or subtle adjustments to better fit his Holmes' world.

**WARNING:. Beyond this point spoilers and hints at the plot and key story concepts may be exposed in this review. I have attempted to not reveal any significant details but fair warning should be given for anyone hoping to not have anything revealed.**

Warlock Holmes is quite the opposite of his namesake. A bumbling buffoon with the common sense of a brick, Warlock Holmes is a heartwarming charming idiot. His naive rose tinted view of humanity in late 19th century England is somehow irresistibly hilarious.

Rather than being a genius of deduction observation and analysis, Warlock Holmes is just what his name suggests, a warlock with a mastery of demonic magics. He possesses immense eldritch powers in occult wizardry calling upon the forces surrounding the everyday world veiled just beyond perception of the everyday human. Despite having access to a seemingly endless font of power with endless potential, Warlock brandishes his power with hesitance and a reverence for the pricey cost of using his magical powers.

It is best understood that the magic he can access is not his own to harness but rather be borrowed from the demons, spirits, and otherworldly creatures just beyond the cross dimensional thread. With this in mind Warlock holds back from diving right into using his magic unless no alternative can be used in solving the various cases brought to him for solving.

With Warlock Holmes replacing the core concept of Sherlock Holmes, it falls upon Dr. John Watson to take up the slack as the brilliant detective and master of deduction. Moriarty once again emerges as a devious mastermind and nemesis that threatens not only our heroes but humanity, civilization, society, and life on earth as we know it. All the other familiar faces of Doyle's masterwork appear with fantastic new takes.

so much fun

I love the fantastical spin on traditional Sherlock Holmes story. It is fun trying to guess how the story will twist and turn. I hope that Book 3 is on its way.

Wonderfully gruesome

What a rollicking Halloween twist on the classic sleuth
A few times I had to grit my teeth and bear up over the details
But very creative

Enjoyable take on Holmes and Watson

Holmes gives magic a new look. Well contrived spin on the outcome of the Baskerville saga. Hearty laughs at Watson's perspective; combined with a explanation of Holmes origins.
