I can’t get enough of Montague & Strong! The characters come alive for you Orlando Sanchez never disappoints me in these books. Peaches is a sweet gentle giant and that just needs more meat!!!!!! There is so much more to say but the best thing to do is read the books!
Another fast, funny, action-packed read from the Montague and Strong detective agency series. I’m engrossed with the series and invested in the characters, so I mostly loved the book. Sometimes it seems as if Monty and Simon talk too much when danger is rushing at them. That seems weird to me, but other than that, 5 stars.
Another great continuation of Monty and Strongs detective adventure in fighting evil….
Orlando Sanchez is one of those addictive authors. You get immersed in his characters and storylines and then feel bereft when you finish that book. Luckily, unlike others authors, his new books are never far behind.
The Golem is a classic Sanchez. Peaches is back dragging Montague and Strong behind him as they battle a seemingly unbeatable enemy.
A brilliant story so don’t miss out.
Overpowered mage with a stolen artifact? Check. Ability for said artifact to create & control indestructible Golems while siphoning magic sources? Check. Failed couples therapy? Check. What do you do when NY is faced with a threat nobody wants to face? Call in the Trio of Devastation, landmark decorators extraordinaire! But, when faced with a landmark even they hesitate to relocate from the physical plane, all bets are off.
A truly action-packed and hilarious installment of M&S.
Another very enjoyable entry in the Montague and Strong world. So many laughs and so much action! I love the quote at the start of Chapter 1, it sums up this world so well: “When you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place, blow up the rock.”—Uncle Dex
The Golem is full of the expected Monty and Simon sarcasm, snips, snark, action, and mayhem. It also marks a growth point in Simon’s understanding and powers. We meet some old friends and a new villain. Peaches helps save the day while adding a new talent, and is suitably rewarded with more meat. Best of all are two hilarious but infuriating new characters who may stick around in future books. And if you like Easter eggs, this book is packed full of them. I had so much fun reading this that I devoured it in one day, I didn’t want to put it down!
Loved it! Great addition to the Monty and Strong world
Golems are only legend, mindless rock creatures requiring tremendous power to create and control. Impossible or highly improbable. But this is the world of Monty & Simon where anything can happen and someone has created a Golem and it’s attacking the hubs of power threatening “their” city. It’ll take new friends and allies to defend Times square, can they stop the Golem and the powerful mage controling it? A great new adventure in the Montague & Strong world.
The guys are back home and things are already getting exciting! And Peaches is right in the middle of everything. I just love the conversations between Monty and Simon and between Simon and Peaches. Of course, Simon, Monty and Peaches save the day but how they get there is a great journey. Make time for this book because you won’t be able to put it down once you start it.
