Fantasy Urban

Benedict Jacka's acclaimed Alex Verus series continues with Cursed. Since his second sight made him infamous for defeating powerful dark mages, Alex has been keeping his head down. But now he's discovered the resurgence of a forbidden ritual. Someone is harvesting the life-force of magical creatures—destroying them in the process. And draining humans is next on the agenda. Hired to investigate, Alex realizes that not everyone on the Council wants him delving any deeper. Struggling to distinguish ally from enemy, he finds himself the target of those who would risk their own sanity for power...

Book sounds wonderful - will be checking book one out.

Covers are excellent, I have walked along the Thames and seen Tower Bridge and the Houses of Parliament so they remind me of holidays. Now you have me wondering where the magically gifted people live and work, if they have their own civil service like in the Harry Potter books. May have to read the books to find out!
(Clare O'Beara 5:52am June 14, 2012)

I can't wait to try out this series- it sounds fantastic. Watch out, Harry

Thanks for the chance to win! :)

Rituals have a place in history and tradition. You know more about what's expected behavior-wise.
