I really enjoyed this until towards the end.

I loved the banter between Cade and Corrigan and the humour throughout was exactly like my sense of humour. I also found the story interesting and the fact that these weren't your run of the mill heroes made for an amusing change.

My only issue is that as far as I know, this is a standalone book and for me, the ending read more as if it's meant to be something continued. I felt as if we weren't given everything out of the story, including more about Cade's magic.

Still, I did quite like the book and plan on checking out some of his other books.
