Über diesen Titel
Something wicked is moving in the shadows of London....
In the underground world of glitzy illegal auctions, fast cars, and stolen magical artifacts, John "Dom" Domenici knows he's out of his depth. But he needs the job at Kempthorne & Co like he needs to breathe. The alternative - going back to the organized crime gangs of London's East End - is unthinkable.
So when Alexander Kempthorne, boss of Kempthorne & Co Artifact Retrieval Agency, wants him on a special case to track down an illegal artifact dealer, Dom can't say no.
It shouldn't matter that Kempthorne's world is full of deadly secrets. It shouldn't matter that the billionaire is sexy as sin, and it really shouldn't matter how there's an American agent stalking Dom, an American who knows more than he should about Dom's case, including the real reason Alexander Kempthorne hired Dom.
The only thing that really matters to Dom is solving the case and finding the artifact dealer. Because there are worse things in London than a conflicted billionaire and a trigger-happy American. Something wicked is stalking London's streets, and if Dom doesn't stop it, its shadows will rise and consume them all.
Contains mature themes.

The story really is a twisted mystery!
I think the world the author made is genious. The latents with their magic power triggered by artifacts made by trauma. Wow, that's heavy.
Dom and his employer are something like private detectives, trying to get hold of the dangerous artifacts that conterminate London and I really came to like the ex military eastend guy. But he doesn't look alike the wizard on the cover anymore in my head.
Dom being gay added to me enjoying the story and there is much tension in this book. And everytime the scenes are quiet be alert, the roof will be crashing down suddenly. Fanomanal.
I hope there is more "Hollywood" in the next book. The scenery in London was really pretty and the escape in the underground, so good.
The narrator was way too fast, so I listened with speed at 0,9 which also makes his voice darker.
There was one scene where the door was suddenly closed in my face, don't do this to me, if you tease you need to deliver.
The greater mystery is still going and I'm really invested in the lovely team.

narrator doesn't work at all for the story
Hard to listen to when there is often no noticable difference made between the narration and speach unless the narrator is gruffly shouting,or voicing the female characters, This is especially true for the main character. The narrator's voice is too rough to my ears. Story is somewhat boring even during action scenes, but it's likely more because of the way it's read less how it's written. I can see the narratorreading children's books or slice of life fittingly, in my opinion not reading action or itense emotions well at all.
