In the world of magic, secrets are like water—they keep you alive, but it’s easy to drown.

Manhattan Walker’s family is epically large and loud (and as odd as the name they gave him).  But when his mother dies, generations of closely-held family secrets unravel, and he realizes that no one is ever who they appear to be, including them.

Burdened with the power to see the past, and a talisman no one understands, Manhattan is thrust into the clandestine world of magic.  There are murders the police can’t know about, dangerous spells that force him to face the darkness of his past, and a man without a face who wants him dead.

Can Manhattan find the truth in himself before he loses everything?

Hat Walker is a modern, salty, hilarious hero. At different times throughout this book, I found myself laughing at him, groaning at him, and yelling at him... but still somehow rooting for him the whole way. And, he’s just one of the many, many, MANY complex and charming characters in this book. (It felt like I fell in love with dozens, and loved to hate at least as many.)

“Intriguing, energetic fantasy/mystery full of twists and turns, which holds the reader’s interest very well until the very last page. Manhattan is a sympathetic and likeable protagonist, and watching all the secrets unravel–not only the ones his family keeps, but the ones he’s been keeping from himself–is thoroughly enjoyable.”

Great world and character building. The author is an awesome storyteller; I cared deeply about the characters and was on the edge of my seat.

Interesting plot twists; I thought I had it all figured out! I eagerly await the next installment.
