Blood Relation by Dan Willis

relax_its_fine's review against another edition

4.0

Fantasy, detective story, magic and compelling story

This is a book with magic, set in the late 1930s with an alternate history. The detective story is good on its own, the magic interesting, the overall story arc is strong. Each book stands on its own but the series makes it better.

Another excellent addition to the series.

Classic formula in many ways, but with some twists. Enjoyable story and good writing.

Even when this is still a very good book, it's the one I liked less in the series. Part of it is the fact that we don't see Alex working a case with Danny, and I miss their interactions. Yes, I know, Danny is now a lieutenant, but I enjoyed a lot watching them work side by side. The rest is that I think that I prefer the more classic mysteries to this magic arc.

But I liked Alex mentoring his new employee, it's a nice touch that highlights how much he has accomplished since we met him in [b:In Plain Sight|43065169|In Plain Sight (Arcane Casebook #1)|Dan Willis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1543639113l/43065169._SY75_.jpg|66856794].

I must confess that, for a tiny moment, I was afraid that we would have to deal with

, but luckily, that didn't happen :P

And, even when it isn't my favourite, I'm intrigued by this storyline, so I'll be anxiously waiting for the next book =D
