Karyn, Anna, Nail, and Tommy are used to working together,
pulling off heists of odd artifacts for various buyers.
They've caught the attention of well-known criminal
mastermind, Enoch Sobell, and his henchman, Greaser. The
score he offers them is just too good to turn down,
particularly for Karyn. Karyn hallucinates the future but
without the drug called "blind", the visions overwhelm her-
and "blind" is expensive. Unfortunately, the artifact Sobell
wants them to obtain is much more than expected as they are
about to face a very powerful being... and one who wants
them
to succumb or die.
PREMONITIONS is dark, gritty, and utterly captivating!
Writing about hallucinations is not an easy task but Jamie
Schultz does a marvelous job at capturing the confusion and
misery that accompanies Karyn's condition. Even better, she
keeps the reader aware of reality even when Karyn isn't
fully functional by providing us with various narrators to
give us the perspective that Karyn lacks.
I'm a little surprised by how much I love the characters in
PREMONITIONS. I'm not normally a fan of characters who
regularly commit crimes but Jamie Schultz gives us enough
history to understand why the characters are in their
various situations. Karyn is the focus of most of the story
but it is Nail who I like the best. He's straightforward and
levelheaded, which adds a much needed contrast to the
madness of the Brotherhood, Sobell, and even Karyn.
PREMONITIONS dives right into the supernatural, giving us
demons, gods, and their supernatural acolytes galore. Jamie
Shultz breathes new life into the urban fantasy genre,
giving readers a whole new take on what happens when crime
lords and the denizens of Hell collide. PREMONITIONS is a
wild ride, and I sure hope we get to see Karyn and the rest
of the crew in future books!
It’s the kind of score Karyn Ames has always dreamed
of—enough to set her crew up pretty well and, more
important, enough to keep her safely stocked on a very rare,
very expensive black market drug. Without it, Karyn
hallucinates slices of the future until they totally
overwhelm her, leaving her unable to distinguish the present
from the mess of certainties and possibilities yet to come.
The client behind the heist is Enoch Sobell, a notorious
crime lord with a reputation for being ruthless and
exacting—and a purported practitioner of dark magic. Sobell
is almost certainly condemned to Hell for a magically
extended lifetime full of shady dealings. Once you’re in
business with him, there’s no backing out.
Karyn and her associates are used to the supernatural and
the occult, but their target is more than just the usual
family heirloom or cursed necklace. It’s a piece of
something larger. Something sinister.
Karyn’s crew and even Sobell himself are about to find out
just how powerful it is… and how powerful it may yet
become.
