Matthew Angelo


What's a wizard to do when their necromancer grandfather sells all the cursed family heirlooms?



Niccolo "Nic" Celestine, the traveling Thaumaturge, is on the hunt. Upon his trusty Indian Motorcycle, his slobbering familiar, the Belgian Malinois, Stardust in the sidecar, Nic must track down the items his grandfather loosed in the world. The mission would go a lot faster if things stopped trying to kill him along the way… Using magic, Nic finds Arthur Sanguine, a CEO whose rapid rise to the top is more than suspicious, in possession of the cursed compass. Sanguine won't hand over the artifact responsible for his riches without fighting. Nic must recover the compass before Sanguine's greed and the curse can cause more damage. The kicker? He's got to stay alive in the meantime…

This book was a thrill-ride of reading! I really liked the snarky nature of the protagonist and found him to be very interesting. The premise of the book was great, and I was engrossed for much of the book. I found the premise and the characters to be very interesting and intriguing. I am really looking forward to more in the series. I recommend this book for anyone who likes the urban fantasy genre. Recommend!

I was hooked from the 1st page. I love that the story is fast pace...Matthew Angelo didn't get caught up in copious details like many authors do...Matthew gave enough description of the characters while saving some for the readers imagination. Rian is likable and relatable (in a way) that makes sense even though he's half human. I am excited to see what is to come of Rian and learn more about his past/family.



Review No 3





Interesting murder mystery with comedy written in from first perspective. I was a little confused at the first if I was reading from a male or female perspective however the author didn't make you read long before being clear. I really like that this supernatural story didn't have your average supernatural characters in it thus being unique. The sarcasm, witty come backs and inner monologue made it possible to connect with the main character. I really enjoyed this story.

A really promising start to a new series! My attention has definitely been grabbed and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Rian is the quintessential troubled hero, which I love. Good guys are normally so boring. a really interesting world and plot line. Definitely recommended reading!
