When necromancer Eric Carter returned to Los Angeles after fifteen years on the run he knew things were bad, but he never imagined how bad they could get. Sister murdered, best friend dead, married to the patron saint of death, Santa Muerte.And things are just getting worse.
His link to the Aztec death goddess is changing his powers, changing him, and he’s not sure how far it will go. He’s starting to question his own sanity, wonder if he’s losing his mind. No mean feat for a guy who talks to the dead on a regular basis.
While searching for a way to break Santa Muerte’s hold over him, Carter finds himself the target of a psychopath who can steal anyone’s form, powers and memories. Identity theft is one thing, but the guy does it by killing his victims and wearing their skins like a suit. He can be anyone. He can be anywhere.
Now Carter has to change the game, go from hunted to hunter. All he has for help is a Skid Row Bruja and a ghost who’s either his dead friend Alex or Carter’s own guilt-fueled psychotic break.
If things go right, he just might survive a week where everything is trying to kill him and nothing is as it seems.

A lot of chaos, action and personal injury. Characters are not who they seem to be sometimes. After finishing it, Im still not sure what the plot was. Seems like a comic book series or game of thrones that goes on and on with no resolution or end it sight. It was still an entertaining read. Hmm.Okay, this book may not actually be a five star read, but I was having a really shitty month and this was the only bright spot. I love Eric Carter. He is my son, my sweet fuck-up, my idiot boy. He is probably one of my favorite male characters of all time, right up there with John Constantine. He's...just such a fuck up. Everything he touches turns to garbage. Poor baby.
Wonderfully atmospheric LA noir urban fantasy, really making use of the setting, and keeping consistent with the breakneck pace, hairpin turns, and high stakes of DEAD THINGS. Mixing dark and nasty violence with sarcastic humor, sign me up for #3.
Eric Carter is one of those protagonists who takes a serious beating basically constantly, and it makes his urban fantasy world feel a lot more real as he fires off spells and sics ghosts on people. He's a bit of a magical John McClane, and his emotional damage makes him as interesting as the physical scars he picks up. Blackmoore does a great job of putting Carter into a mysterious world he only barely understands. This story and the one before it function as action-packed dives into the
In the Second Eric Carter novel, BROKEN SOULS, by Stephen Blackmoore, six months have passed since the events that occurred in DEAD THINGS. Things are twice as hectic, and detrimental as last time!Forced into a marriage with the Queen of the Dead, Eric is desperate to find a way to annul the binding vows. Aside from a wedding band he can't remove from his finger, Eric's eyes have become like pitch black marbles. No iris, no whites. He knows he'd made a rash decision in getting married, but there
Also reviewed for Addicted2Heroines.This is nowhere near what I would consider my normal genre, but I really liked it anyway.Broken Souls has that Pulp Fiction feel to it that made me think of hard-boiled detectives and L.A. noirish stuff.Or at least, this is what I assume those books are like.*cough, cough*I've, uh, never actually read a True Crime story. But this was what I imagine they would be like.Take my ramblings with a grain of salt.Eric Carter isn't the kind of guy who has a girlfriend,
Ive been lied to a lot, lately. And some of its been with the truth.Broken Souls follows up the craziness that was Dead Things and turns the dial up yet again. We get some fascinating worldbuilding, expanding both the series' view of necromancy and the dead and the Aztec side of Santa Muerte. The necromancy isn't that different from what you'd expect to see in any series dealing directly with magic and death, but it's still used well. Being able to jump back and forth between the land of the
