“…a legitimate tactic for winning a trial is to murder the opposition’s witnesses…”
Welcome to the Uncanny Kingdom’s variation of justice. Gotta love it. Welcome back as well to David Bussell and M.V. Stott’s The Uncanny Ink Series and to the toughest kick-a** and take no names (because the dead don’t talk) heroine ever, Erin Banks. Promises, laws, necks, Erin breaks them without discrimination. She’s one freakin’ tough gal and I totally adore her. Now in Bad Justice (The Uncanny Ink Series Book 3) Erin has a fairly routine job of the legally sanctioned murder of potential witnesses at a trial while having to deal with pesky opponents out for the same score and out to knock her off as a means of taking her out of the competition. In other words just another ho hum workday for her – and one heck of a fantastic and exciting thriller for we readers. Really, anyone who likes adventure and really (really) well done urban fantasy had simply got to read this series – you can start right here with this book as it works as a stand-alone or even better start at the fantastic book 1, Bad Soul (separately reviewed), and read them in order for maximum impact. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises – the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
This is really amping up! I love all the fighting and violence. I wonder if Erin will ever find out about her brother…
It would be best to start with Bad Soul: An Uncanny Kingdom Urban Fantasy (The Uncanny Ink Series Book 1) and Bad Blood: An Uncanny Kingdom Urban Fantasy (The Uncanny Ink Series Book 2) before starting Book 3. Erin Banks is ready for another job. Her employer wants her to assassinate three witnesses to a trial. Her stock in trade are Uncanny Ink tattoos that increase her strength, speed her reflexes, give greater speed, and help her recover after taking a beating. Unfortunately, she has to share the job with fellow assassins: Sallow and her nemesis/lover Kirklander. The defendant client is Liyta, who somehow knows about her brother James and seems to read her mind. (This brief synopsis may be considered a spoiler, but it’s a very bland taste compared to the spice and fire of the writing). The first victim was killed by Sallow, who then meets a very bad end as a result. Erin barely escapes his fate. Erin goes to Other London, from where James disappeared, in search of the next victim, a wizard. Overcoming him, but attacked by Shades, she is on the brink of death. In the nick of time, she is saved by the powerful wizard Carlisle. He has now taken an interest in Erin because someone (or something) mucked with his memories from the night of James’ disappearance. Erin and Kirklander team up for the final victim, a demon. It was a challenge just getting to the demon’s demesne. Nobody in their right mind goes near a demon, much less up against a demon. Their narrowest of escapes makes breathless reading. Then their collection of the bounty payment from their employer makes for cringeworthy reading. The dialog is often first person Erin Banks, in a stream-of-consciousness style that makes it seem like she’s right there talking (usually foul-mouthing someone or something). That gives an immediacy to the action and makes the conversation seem personal. The action is non-stop, one crisis after another until the final resolution. Fast-paced and easy to read, with lots of the colloquial language and London slang characteristic of the Uncanny Kingdom authors.
