A Touch of Brimstone (Magic of the Damned, Book 1) : McKenzie Hunter

Magic, politics and some very devious characters. Is the Prince of the Underworld really the Good Guy? 


This book is the first in a new Paranormal Romance series from McKenzie Hunter. The book is set across both modern day USA and the Underworld. There is the potential for romance but there are no descriptive scenes of a sexual nature.


As with all McKenzie Hunter’s books, the characters are well thought out and well developed. The interaction is believable and the worldbuilding is excellent. She has created a well developed magical system and included a variety of supernatural species; some familiar and some less so.


The book’s main character is Luna, an unsuspecting human woman who is dragged unwittingly into the supernatural world, which comes as something of a surprise to her, as she’d previously been under the impression that witches, shifters and vampires were only found on the fiction shelves. Sadly for her, they are all real and the method in which she is drawn in has made her the target for several supernatural political groups, some of which want her dead. 


It’s coming to something when the only being who might be able to keep you alive just happens to be the seemingly all-powerful Prince of the Underworld. Luna is in a fight for her life and her only option is to help him but even that’s not guaranteed to keep her safe. 


This book has magic, politics, battles, deception and some very devious characters. Nothing is what it seems. Who is human? Who is Supernatural? Who are the good guys? It’s hard for Luna to tell. 


I was so wrapped up in this book that I couldn’t put it down and ended up reading until well into the early hours of the morning. I have been eagerly waiting for this book all year and I was not disappointed. I’m very much looking forward to book two. 


Available from Amazon
