Description
Magic is Violent.
No one understood this more than Kyle Harding, a young stick-licker from the Caribbean island of Bimshire, where miracles are sold every day. The problem is, each one comes with a burdensome debt.
As an obeah witch, Kyle's mother has built a massive debt which was passed on to her sons upon her death. And now Gulfsyde, a duo of brutal assassins notorious for leaving carnage in their wake, has come to collect.
With a past drenched in blood, fire and bodies, Gulfsyde aims to retire with one final kill. But Kyle has a little brother—Damien—to protect, and he will not lose any more family to the obeah trade.
Though bus stops ignite, and devastating magical weapons form against him, Kyle defends his home with only the lowly sugarcane his mother left behind.

I enjoyed this story. I had not read the first book so was a little lost. I quickly fell into the groove of the story. Some of the dialogue is in patois, which might be hard for some to understand. However I found it refreshing. I hope there will be another book and look forward to reading the first.
Kathryn M, Reviewer
This was another strong sequel in the Offset series, it flowed well together with the first book and the characters were what I was hoping for. I enjoyed everything about this novel and characters. I can’t wait to read more in this series and from the author.
