Summary

To save Manhattan, they'll have to save each other first....

1925 New York

Arthur Kenzie's life's work is protecting the world from the supernatural relics that could destroy it. When an amulet with the power to control the tides is shipped to New York, he must intercept it before it can be used to devastating effects. This time, in order to succeed, he needs a powerful psychometric...and the only one available has sworn off his abilities altogether.

Rory Brodigan's gift comes with great risk. To protect himself, he's become a recluse, redirecting his magic to find counterfeit antiques. But with the city's fate hanging in the balance, he can't force himself to say no.

Being with Arthur is dangerous, but Rory's ever-growing attraction to him begins to make him brave. And as Arthur coaxes him out of seclusion, a magical and emotional bond begins to form. One that proves impossible to break - even when Arthur sacrifices himself to keep Rory safe and Rory must risk everything to save him.

Contains mature themes.

Great story.

I adored this story. it was well written and pacy with none of the long info dumps and purple prose one finds in so many books nowadays. My only issue was with the narration which sounded nearly robotic at times. The lack of discernable accents made it tricky to know whose dialogue the narrator was reading sometimes. its a shame as the story itself was wonderful and I am eagerly awaiting the sequel in May 2020.

Kind of tedious

It's a good idea, buy lacks pace. Not helped by a very dull reader with no real knack for doing different voices.
