A whirlwind adventure with two men thrown together by the magical Enforcement Agency and having to use their wits and get some help from friends to save the world. Not a small task for relic hunter Griffin and research scholar Bradley as they have to fight a mythical enemy.
From the blurb:
Bradley Brooks spends his days with his nose buried in rare and precious books. A scholar and researcher of all things occult, but his life’s work — some would call it his obsession — is the study of the Hive, a society of locust-like creatures so deadly that they’ve ended entire civilizations.
Except for one problem. No one believes the Hive even exists, least of all Griffin Gallows, a mercenary with a taste for exotic artifacts. And then a run-in with the magical authorities forces him to go on bodyguard duty.
Together, Bradley and Griffin must investigate a spate of grisly ritual murders tied to a local billionaire. But their trail leads them to a hideous discovery: The Hive may well be real.
And they’re coming to consume us all.
Ravenous Prophecy is a 45,000-word MM urban fantasy with a HEA ending.
SNik's review:
Standalone. Urban fantasy. Quick read. Opposites attract. Slow burn/no burn. Dual POV.
An artifact hunter and a translation scholar get locked up in the same cell by the Magical Enforcement Agency, and are pushed together into a dangerous adventure. The possibility of a fabled evil entity returning, ritualistic murders, and a rich bad guy that wants to end the world have Bradley and Griffin teaming up to stop it.
I enjoyed being dropped into Bradley and Griffin’s world as they have a mutual attraction that simmers while they investigate and add comrades to help fight the baddies. Would I have loved to read more world building, more of Bradley and Griffin’s backgrounds, more explanations of Bradley’s power, more about the growing found family - absolutely. For a quick story this was entertaining and I liked the opposites attracting while trying to save the world aspect. Note to two favorite authors - Any chance of more for these two?
