Review

"Pratt is a deft storyteller whose blend of suspense, magic, and dry humor kept me entertained and turning pages. Blood Engines is one of the most absorbing reads I've enjoyed in a long time, gluing me to the couch. I adore Marla, her done-at-all-costs character is someone I can relate to and want to cheer for. Best of all, I didn't figure the ending out until I got there. It's a book widower, and I can't wait for the sequel."—Kim Harrison, NYT-bestselling author of For a Few Demons More

"Blood Engines wastes no time: by page three I knew I was reading an urban fantasy unlike any I'd previously encountered. The characters and world are real, immediate, and unapologetically in-your-face, throwing you into a story that trusts you'll keep up with the fast pace without flinching. It charges along with crisp pacing, a fascinating range of secondary characters, and a highly compelling lead in Marla Mason. She may be one of the genre's requisite sharp-tongued females, but her ruthless pragmaticism gives her a completely different feel from her fictional contemporaries. I genuinely look forward to the next book!"—C.E. Murphy, author of Coyote Dreams


"A fast-paced, thoroughly fun, satisfying read."—Kelley Armstrong, author of No Humans Involved


Product Description

Meet Marla Mason–smart, saucy, slightly wicked witch of the East Coast.…

Sorcerer Marla Mason, small-time guardian of the city of Felport, has a big problem. A rival is preparing a powerful spell that could end Marla’s life–and, even worse, wreck her city. Marla’s only chance of survival is to boost her powers with the Cornerstone, a magical artifact hidden somewhere in San Francisco. But when she arrives there, Marla finds that the quest isn’t going to be quite as cut-and-dried as she expected…and that some of the people she needs to talk to are dead. It seems that San Francisco’s top sorcerers are having troubles of their own–a mysterious assailant has the city’s magical community in a panic, and the local talent is being (gruesomely) picked off one by one.

With her partner-in-crime, Rondeau, Marla is soon racing against time through San Francisco’s alien streets, dodging poisonous frogs, murderous hummingbirds, cannibals, and a nasty vibe from the local witchery, who suspect that Marla herself may be behind the recent murders. And if Marla doesn’t figure out who is killing the city’s finest in time, she’ll be in danger of becoming a magical statistic herself.…

3.0étoiles sur 5 Dark, Surreal Fantasy, Oct. 11 2009
Par B. Breen "Canuckster1127" (Sterling, VA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
To be fair, while I wasn't overwhelmingly impressed with this book and have rated it accordingly, the primary draw for me to read it was that it was offered free as a promotional download on the Kindle. I would not have usually have selected a book in this genre and so it may be fair to say that this is about the highest rating I would give a book like this. Those who are familiar with Pratt's work and who like urban dark fantasy will probably find that this is a book worth reading.

The book held my attention well enough to finish it but not to entice me to purchase and read more of the series, which was no doubt the promotional goal.

Blood Engine is a surreal dark mystery that focuses upon a character with clearly delineated flaws and motivations of base power. The language is salty. Many of the scenes are graphic with heavy sexual overtones. Woven into the plot are well written psychological and religious themes that engage the mind and add an element of reality to the book that I admired in terms of its design. In the end however, and this is admittedly a matter of taste, while I can admire qualities of the books, this genre is not terribly appealing. It's not that I am in any way opposed or resistant to dark fantasy, but I confess that I prefer when reading fantasy I have a strong predilection toward that which while not necessarily Pollyannaish, is at least positive. Tolkien is an example. There is no shortage of dark and realistic themes, but the appeal is to what in the end it powerful and virtuous.

So again, please take this review in the context of my stated preferences. If your tastes run similar, it's likely that you'll find this book well written, but nevertheless depressing. If your tastes run in this direction, I can recommend the book in terms of its literary qualities and the obvious ability of the writer. In terms of the themes and content, it just wasn't my cup of tea.
