Chronicle To Books Fated (Alex Verus #1)

Alex Verus is part of a world hidden in plain sight, running a magic shop in London. And while Alex's own powers aren't as showy as some mages, he does have the advantage of foreseeing the possible future--allowing him to pull off operations that have a million-to-one-chance of success.

But when Alex is approached by multiple factions to crack open a relic from a long-ago mage war, he knows that whatever's inside must be beyond powerful. And thanks to his abilities, Alex can predict that by taking the job, his odds of survival are about to go from slim to none...

Discuss Epithetical Books Fated (Alex Verus #1)

Executive Summary: After a rough start I liked the second half of this book enough that I'll probably continue on with the series.Audiobook: Gildart Jackson did a pretty good job, and helped keep me mostly attentive during all the setup of the first half of the book. Full Review This one has been in my library for awhile. I'm sure I got a daily deal or I probably wouldn't have bothered. I used to love Urban Fantasy and read a ton of it, but after awhile I just got tired of it and pretty much

2.5 starsNot bad, but too much like the Dresden Files. I couldn't shake the feeling that this book is basically Harry Dresden in London. But in many ways, it's what I wanted from Storm Front: Dresden's world and magic minus Dresden himself.Review moved to https://covers2covers.wordpress.com/2...

Fated is a fantastic debut novel. This is what urban fantasy can accomplish, taking fantasy concepts and giving them a new spin in a modern setting. Jacka uses the concept of an age-old war between Dark and Light Mages and sets it in contemporary London. While many will think of Dresden and recommend this to fans of that great series, I don't even think it's fair to compare them outside of the fact that they are both male POV urban fantasy novels with magical protagonists. Jacka writes his own

3.5 Wizarding World StarsSure, sure you are thinking another UF series about a mage/wizard. I know I was thinking the same thing too and then I started reading. Alex is not really a bad guy, well now, but that doesnt mean that he has always been a good guy. He is definitely a wizard with a past, one that includes being an apprentice to a dark mage and being a little on team evil for awhile. Hey we were all young and stupid once. Actually, he reminds me a little of who I think Malfoy (from Harry

Alex is a mage, a seer. He owns a shop in London and sells things like crystal balls and herbs. He tries to keep a low profile in a world with dark and light forces in the magical realm. The majority (of mages) rely on word of mouth, though younger mages use the internet. I've even heard of one guy in Chicago who advertises in the phone book under "Wizard" though that's probably an urban legend." A little nod to Harry Dresden. I'm thinking, coool, I like Harry. He's hilarious and sarcastic. I

5 stars!I've had this book on my shelf for years and I wish I'd read it sooner, it was superb. I used to read an absolute ton of urban fantasy but in the last few years Ive read more epic and YA fantasy and I've only really got back into UF in the last year or so. This book has reminded me why I love urban fantasy, it's gritty yet magical and definitely a fun ride. I adored Alex and co, he's bad ass without being ridiculously overpowered and his friendships felt honest. The supporting characters
