Dead Things

Dead Things - Stephen Blackmoore 2.25 Star
Reading a book by a new author is always an uphill battle. You're ready to nitpick the hell out of it and find all the flaws. The flaw with this read is the magic. Magic should have limitations with the user. People, I use that word loosely, were using magic for financial gain, drug addiction, to possess bodies, and other things. The only sacrifice made was by the main character, Eric, who has to bleed for the dead. More than half the book was just OKAY, and the ending picked up a little and makes you want to know what happens next. We'll see.
