A gritty urban fantasy with adult humorAfter the turmoil in New York, another hopelessly unprepared hero meets powerful, mysterious characters with the power to change the world…
But maybe it's best to let Feline Alchemy’s would-be hero speak for himself – “I was a world-class cynic once, an office drone. That was before I accidentally made a deal that sent my whole life spinning out of control.
“Now I’m in thrall to two strong, bewitching women who call themselves Queens of the Nile. I’m also plagued by wolves, the police, witches and ex-wives. They all want to ruin me.
"But I can see a turning point. After all, I’ve got feline alchemy on my side. Maybe I can win?
“All it’s liable to cost me is my soul…"
Feline Alchemy is a gripping blend of dark urban fantasy, humor and unique characters who are set on a collision course with the gang from Transformer Kit (Mantle Series: 1).
Readers' comments from Amazon reviews -
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I whipped through the pages. To me, that defines a great and original book. Blake's writing style cuts deep with realism and raw wit. If I had to pull an author out of my hat to compare him with I would have to say Palahniuk or maybe Prunty. Two of my favorites by the way.
This is the most well written, well plotted urban fantasy that I’ve read—totally refreshing and full of dark humor, originality and imagination. The novel is in a brilliant original style that incorporates Kafka-esque moments with Henry Miller's stream of consciousness.
