Days Gone Bad by Eric R. Asher

3.0

Damien Valdis Vesik. Necromancer. Owner of a new age magic shop. Brother of a vampire. Landlord to fairies who live in his clock. This is the first book in a new series, but the first few chapters are confusing, and read more like the second or third book in a series. I kept getting the feeling that I should have known what was going on, and who the people were. In any case, Damien receives a call from his master, one Zola Adannya, who has been missing for a while. She presents him with a doll that houses a tainted aura and attempt sot train him. Story is, someone is trying to raise a demon, and is making zombie puppets out of vampires. This leads to a treasure hunt for fae artifacts, fights against zombies, malicious destruction of property, and a lot of blood and guts. Surprisingly, there is no romance, except between secondary characters. Beginning in chapter 3, it held my attention, though there were a few parts that forced me to read two or three times. Reading the sequel is a strong possibility, but mainly to see if there are more (better) explanations for some of the events and villains. 2.8 stars. Warnings for blood, gore, violence, death, and language.
