I am very upset with myself for finding this series four books in. As a big fan of Harry Dresden and Sandman Slim, I immediately fell in love with Eric Carter. A messed up Mage, that does his best to screw things up while trying to do right. He's funny, he's a smart alek, and he's a badass with his magic. He interacts with the Aztec Gods and a very powerful Djinn. Making mess after mess along the way.
HUNGRY GHOSTS by Stephen Blackmoore is a fast paced, exciting, funny well written book, that lovers of urban fantasy must read. Though you can jump into this series at any point, if book four is this good you will want to read books one through three first. I know I am going to go back and read them.
Stephen Blackmoore has created a world worth exploring with his Eric Carter series and HUNGRY GHOSTS is a great addition to it.
Book Summary
Necromancer Eric Carter's problems keep getting bigger. Bad enough he's the unwilling husband to the patron saint of death, Santa Muerte, but now her ex, the Aztec King of the dead, Mictlantecuhtli, has come back -- and it turns out that Carter and he are swapping places. As Mictlantecuhtli breaks loose of his prison of jade, Carter is slowly turning to stone. To make matters worse, both gods are trying to get Carter to assassinate the other. But only one of them can be telling him the truth and he can't trust either one. Carter's solution? Kill them both.
If he wants to get out of this situation with his soul intact he'll have to go to Mictlan, the Aztec land of the dead, and take down a couple of death gods while facing down the worst trials the place has to offer him: his own sins.
