A review by psychologist_reads
Hexomancy by Michael R. Underwood

3.0

First, allow me once more to say how thoroughly I enjoy these books. I am a geek through and through, my friends are geeks, even some of my favourite writers, actors and directors are geeks. Moving on to the novel itself, I didn't find it as good as Celebromancy, partly because it felt rushed. This could have easily been a trilogy of novellas; instead, we got all this plot - which could have been great if complimented with really interesting and deep antagonists - crammed into one single novel. And, frankly, the Stregas didn't really feel like actual characters most of the time. I get that they were pawns in a bigger game but, still, some flavour would have helped. That said, I admit I was expecting the revelation about Atropos but I did like the ending, as well as the idea of the Wild Wild Web and the Cowboys etc. The growing romance between Ree and Drake was great as well, the two of them have really good chemistry. And I literally squeed in joy when Abney Park were mentioned. Now, all that remains is a mention in the next novel of the cult RPG classics, The Gamers and The Gamers: Dorkness Rising and I shall die a happy geek.
