"Robert E. Howard fans will recognize the tone instantly. The sheer zest of the storytelling here is infectious. James has mastered the knack of meshing the fast-paced lingo of paramilitary thrillers with the colorful worldbuilding of urban fantasy. It’s the same combination found in books like Larry Correia’s popular Monster Hunter series and the novels of Simon Green, and it works to extremely readable effect in these pages as Clyde, Kev, and their Hourglass allies continue to face off against Cairnwood and its minions. This is the kind of SF/fantasy where internet encryptions and Glock 19s show up right alongside hexes and undead monsters (sometimes merging, as in “low-grade demonic radiation” and the like). Fans of urban fantasy should jump on this series at its beginning. A fast-paced, richly imagined, gritty tale of modern-day good versus evil." --Kirkus Reviews

"A raucous and action-fueled sequel to Hourglass. Rose Hadfield's Intensive Scare Unit once again come to blows with the Cairnwood Society, which sets the stage for some epic action sequences in this octane-packed read. Everything about the Hourglass operations is fascinating, from the Hell simulators to the magic-machine hybrids; these wildly original arcana details make the story crackle with addictive energy for sci-fi and modern fantasy fans. Conspiratorial and spooky, James doesn't hold back on creativity or drama, for an innovative blend of paranormal, sci-fi, and fantasy fiction." Self-Publishing Review
