Horse shifter Nick has one rule: never trust a witch.Nick has devoted his life to making his saloon a safe haven for the feral familiars of New York. So when a brutal killer slaughters a feral under his protection, Nick has no choice but to try and catch the murderer. Even if that means bonding with a handsome Irish witch.Officer Jamie MacDougal came back from the war in Cuba missing part of a leg and most of his heart. After his former lover becomes one of the killer’s victims, Jamie will do anything to solve the case.Nick comes to Jamie with a proposal: after making a temporary bond, they will work together to stop the murders. Once the killer is caught, they walk away and never see one another again.It sounds simple enough. But the passion that flares between the two men won’t be so easily extinguished. And if Nick can’t learn to trust his witch, he stands to lose everything—including his life.

This series keeps getting better

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

Every book in this series gets better on multiple levels. Hawk continues to pull threads on the over-arching plot, making it more intriguing and convoluted without losing any of the believability of such events in the world he has created. In tandem, each romance both supports and is affected by the greater events.

I was prepared to dislike Nick as a protagonist based on what I knew of him from previous stories in this world. However, Hawk does an excellent job of delving into his motivations and backstory to create a truly three-dimensional character. I also thought I knew precisely what Jamie would be like from the back-cover blurb, as a veteran with amputation, and I was delighted to be proven wrong.

My favorite thing about this book was learning more about familiars themselves, especially how they’re not merely humans who can turn into animals. Hawk effortlessly expresses this through his characterization details of the familiar characters.

As usual, I look forward to reading the next book in this series, which is always the highest praise I can think to give.

Great characters, great story, and a great setting make this macabre murder mystery/historical romance with your time

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Another solid entry in the Hexworld series, and another heart warming couple at its center. Jamie, a cop and witch who lost part of his left leg as one of Roosevelt's rough riders, is the last thing Nick, a warhorse familiar who is radical independent and anti-witch, wants in his life. But they're thrown together because familiars are being gruesomely slaughtered in Central Park. While there are just a few tropes in this book that aren't handled as well as in the previous books, where the author seems to take delight in misdirection and surprise plot twists, they don't detract from an overall satisfying story with some steamy scenes between the main characters - but also some chilling moments as they confront a serial killer. The couples that Jordan Hawk has given us in this series - Jamie and Nick, Mal and Owen, Cicero and Tom - are each wonderfully different, each having had to navigate personality clashes and external threats to find each other. But in each case the author has found ways to describe the mix of warmth, caring, passionate intensity, and desire that's unique to each couple and that makes me glad to have spent time with them. Hawk is exceptionally good at including the subtle gesture, the intimate touch, and the nonverbal communication that passes between the lovers in her books, gestures we can all relate to from our own lives. And want more..... Finally, these books have made me keenly interested in the setting - 1890's New York City. For instance, the author has done a great job with her villain, whose rampage in Central Park provides a fascinating glimpse of how much has changed and stayed the same there.

GR 3.5; 'Zon 4.0: Nick's too prejudiced and Jamie's too blindly loyal, but their mystery and romance grew on me anyway.

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was annoyed by Nick's fixed intention to think the worst of all witches, and by Jamie's repeated insistence on what a good man his uncle really is (both of which lead to some poor decisions), but characters without any flaws or weaknesses are boring. Each in their own way is determined to do what's right.

The way amputee Jamie is often frustrated to find himself treated is a curious mix of invalid who is rarely even allowed to make major choices for himself, and so-called war hero (though in his secret heart, the campaign felt more like a string of debacles). Nick's matter-of-factness, OTOH, was one of the first characteristics proving he was more than the *rear* part of a horse.

I skipped Hexmaker because I haven't yet bought that volume (unlike Hexslayer, which had been waiting in my queue for a while), so I did give myself a few slightly-confusing spoiler bits, but not too bad. This plot is basically separate and enjoyable on its own, though the three previous pairs have a significant secondary presence (Rook is Nick's younger brother, for example, in a relationship strained by clashing views of the MWP and witch/familiar bonding).

I don't want to discuss the killer-of-feral-familiars plot much. Some developments and connections you may see coming, but I'm pretty sure at least a few will surprise you. The climactic confrontation is quite dramatic. Crime scenes and such make use of a number of real locations, some still extant, mainly in Central Park.

As for proofreading, I caught four or five minor typos including an I-should-be-me, a tense error (forbid s/b forbade), two transposed letters that got past SpellCheck (solider s/b soldier). and an unwanted apostrophe (one's s/b ones). Nothing to really take you out of the story.

Right now I'm trying to decide whether I want to go on forward or fill in the gap first, but this certainly isn't my last of the series.

This Series In A Nutshell

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

1- This series is all about mass killings of the weak and innocent.
2- The author drops a dozen clues about who the villains are and the heroes are too dumb to figure it out.
3- The bad guys have all the power and assets. This just becomes worse as the series continues.
4- Every book has the same plot. There is always a big misunderstanding based on deception between the pair of lovers but then when one is captured the other comes to the rescue and they make up.
5- Spoiler. The villain has numerous bones with power spells attached hanging from his belt. He uses one after another to repeatedly beat the heroes. They never once try to grab them away or use them themselves.
6- Spoiler. A spell used on the villain accidentally turns him into a giant monster. Instead of reversing the spell they watch while he murders numerous people. (See point 1)

Book Gannet

Nick and His Witch

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

I really love this world and how easy it is to drop back into it, even after almost a year since I read the last book. I also really love how each book is slowly developing more of the world and the magic, though actual magic working by Nick and Jamie is kept pretty minimal in this book.

I’ve been hoping for Nick’s tale since I first met the unfriendly horse shifter who is devoted to protecting his fellow ferals, but in a completely practical way. There’s nothing cuddly or sentimental about him. He has a cause and he’s willing to risk everything for it – even though he expects nothing in return. He’s an incredibly giving, frequently selfless man, but my word, he’s also a complete jerk to Jamie.

As a fan of this series, I know why Nick hates witches and I even understand it, but Jamie is so sweet and willing to try and understand all sides. Yes, he maybe a touch too idealistic, but every time Nick is his usual gruff stallion self about witches and their kind it’s like he’s kicking a puppy. But in the end even Nick is powerless against how simply likeable Jamie he is. You just can’t dislike him. He’s lovely.

The plot this time is fairly relentless with some gruesome murders and a constant threat bubbling away, in both a wider witch/familiar way as well as directly against these two. I loved seeing Nick and Jamie evolve as a team, even if I occasionally wished to slap some sense into Jamie’s idealistic outlook. Still, the mystery unfolds at a quick pace, keeping things interesting throughout. Yes, there are plenty of guessable clues, but it still built into some cracking action.

The actual romance between Nick and Jamie does take a bit of a back seat to everything else going on, which was a shame, because they’re so good together and it might have been nice to have had a few moments of just the pair of them growing into their bond.

Overall, though, this was a great continuation of the series, with some fun appearances from older characters as well as further developing the world. It does almost uncomfortably parallel much of the political climate in the current world at times, proving that humans never learn from our mistakes, but it certainly left me wanting to know just where this series will head next.

Absolute Magic

This series just gets better and better.
I love the way that Jordan Hawke brings her characters to life. She has a real gift for writing flawed but passionate heroes who consider themselves to be anything but. I also adore the way she weaves 19th century history around and through the bones of each story. It really brings her alternate New York alive.
This installment had me on the edge of my seat with lashings of murder, mayhem and betrayal, all leading up to a tightly wrapped conclusion.
I love that Nick finally gets to tell his tale, as I've been curious about him for a while. Jamie is a brilliant addition to the ensemble cast of Hexworld, a man crippled by war but still fighting to be seen as more than just a wounded war hero.
This story will appeal to readers who love a good magic/paranormal mystery with a generous helping of heat. The connection between Nick and Jamie absolutely smoulders off the page.
Bravo.

Fun, romantic, escapist read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

Hexslayer was just the book I was looking for—a fun and exciting read to take the grey out of the autumn days. I love the universe Hawk has created with these books and there are a lot of hints in this book about a coming storm that I’m looking forward to reading about in future (hopefully) books.

The relationship between Nick and Jamie was prickly to start with, leavened with both sweetness and angst. I loved how Jamie’s injury was included in the book, how it informed but didn’t define his character, and how at one point it even becomes an advantage. In truth, I could have done with a tad more angst during the ‘Oh no will they break up?’ section of the book. But that’s just my taste, because I LOVE the angst—so long as there’s a happy ending, which with Hawk you know there will be. The plot was fun too, and strong enough to keep me guessing but not to overwhelm the central romance.

Overall, this is perfect escapist reading and I thoroughly recommend the whole series.

Another fantastic urban steampunk fantasy from Hawk

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

The Hexworld series is like no other I've read and it manages to combine a number of tropes into a seamless experience.

In this, Rook's brother Nick, a horse familiar, finds his witch in MWP copper Jamie, who lost a leg during a disastrous campaign in Cuba.

Part historical, part urban fantasy, total Steampunk, Jordan L Hawk creates a truly unique New York setting in which dangerous men plot behind the scenes.

This one was fairly creepy, had a seriously unexpected final twist and was utterly brilliant. I can't say more than that really!

Another great story from this author.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed this book and in fact the whole series has been thoroughly enjoyable. This time the book is about Nick the horse shifter and Jamie a police officer and Nick's witch.

The story is about familiars being sacrificed and it's up to Jamie and Nick to find the killer, but nothing prepares then when they encounter the wraith and when a plot is discovered to kill millions of people things go from bad to worse. Can Jamie and Nick Dave the ferals in time.

Highly recommended.
