Nikolai doesn’t want much out of life: sex, immortality, and the power to disembowel anyone who crosses him. But with dark magic forbidden, his only option is Medea–a mage so deadly even the Enforcers give her a wide berth. Despite dire warnings that her apprentices don’t survive, Nikolai won’t stop until she agrees to train him. After all, he’s a killer himself.

Gripping story!
Revisado: 07-31-22
I loved this story. The characters feel true-to-life. The author apparently went to great lengths to render them as accurately as possible. The only problem with that is it makes the main character, Nikolai, extremely hard to like. I felt like slapping some sense into him. His decisions and thought processes were more than frustrating - they were at times infuriating. But I did really enjoy Medea - a total bad-ass! The ending is satisfying and it left me wanting to know how the story will progress in future books. Finally, the voice acting was superb.

With what should have been the greatest heist of their career gone spectacularly sour, Locke and his trusted partner, Jean, have barely escaped with their lives. Or at least Jean has. But Locke is slowly succumbing to a deadly poison that no alchemist or physiker can cure. Yet just as the end is near, a mysterious Bondsmage offers Locke an opportunity that will either save him or finish him off once and for all.

Most annoying in the series so far
Revisado: 05-03-21
Don't get me wrong - I love the Gentlemen Bastards series. The narration is fantastic and the story is engaging. I love the plot twists and the clever ways the Gentlemen Bastards end up handling the situations they find themselves in.
But this third book in the series had me yelling at my phone in frustration so many times I wanted to fling it across the room. My problem is with the Locke's infatuation with Sabetha: his emphatic yammering of his undying love for her was not only tedious and frustrating but creepy. Seriously, what woman with any self respect would like to be placed on a pedestal like that? It would be suffocating!
I hope the next book in the series brings some balance to their relationship, or skips the issue entirely.

While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, a baffling cipher found near the body. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, sort through the bizarre riddle, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci, clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

I just don't get the attraction
Revisado: 01-24-05
I don't understand why people fall over themselves for this piece of garbage. The writing is painfully bad and the narrator succeeds only in creating the worst French accents I've ever heard! The premise may be somewhat interesting, but the plot is so unbelievable that it's distracting. My girlfriend and I could not contain our laughter: it's so bad it's comical! Spend you book credits elsewhere.
