I read The Deceived a few weeks back and enjoyed it, even though it was the 2nd book in the series, and finally got around to reading first the one. Interesting to learn more about the characters, though even here I feel I’m missing book zero. Hopefully at some point the author will take us back in time and show more of the lessons that were learned early on. This book was fun, though I think I liked the Deceived better – maybe that’s only because I read it first, but it felt like in the second book it’s more focused on ‘cleaning’. The story in this one starts with him being attacked at home and then becomes a strange journey to unravel two interlocking puzzles. Some of it a little over the top, some of it pretty interesting, all pretty good fun.

I’ve got him on my list of authors to watch for more.
