Book Review – Crimes Against Magic by Steve McHugh

4th June 2012 By Susan Mann Leave a Comment

Crimes Against Magic Book Cover
Description:- It’s been almost ten years since Nathan Garrett woke on a cold warehouse floor with nothing but a gun, a sword, and no idea of who he was or how he got there. His only clue … a piece of paper with his name on it. Since then, he’s discovered he’s a powerful sorcerer and has used his abilities to work as a thief for hire. But he’s never stopped hunting for his true identity, and those who erased his memory have never stopped hunting for him. When the barrier holding his past captive begins to crumble, Nathan swears to protect a young girl who is key to his enemy’s plans. But with his enemies closing in, and everyone he cares about becoming a target for their wrath, Nathan is forced to choose between the life he’s built for himself and the one buried deep inside him.
Crimes Against Magic is an Urban Fantasy set in modern day London with Historical flashbacks to early fifteenth century France. It’s book one of the Hellequin Chronicles, a series about Nathan (Nate) Garrett, a centuries old sorcerer.
Review:- I am a huge fan of Steve, he’s a member of the Kelley Armstrong writing group which I am a member. His writing is incredible and he brings stories to life in a way few authors can. This is his first published book and I hope it is the first of many. He might not be well known but he’s an author I think you will be seeing a lot more of in the future. 
I am not a huge crime fan, but mix it up in an Urban Fantasy setting and I’m there. I actually started reading this when I was in London last month and since it’s based there it was perfect. The book is based in London but has a lot of Historical flashbacks which revolve around the main character Nate. Nate looses his memory and has nothing but a piece of paper with his name on it to know who he is. Then jump forward ten years and Nate is forced into remembering his past. Two groups are fighting over his memories, but who are the goodies and who is the baddies? 
Nate is a great main character, one you will instantly like. The book itself is very well written and I love the mixture of mythology and fantasy. 
I would highly recommend this book, especially if you are a fan of urban fantasy or crime. This book will keep you gripped to the edge of your seat until the very last page. I am looking forward to the next book.
