Mogsy’s Pick
Chasing Embers by James Bennet (September 6, 2016 by Orbit)
My pick this week is another book inspired by myth and legend. The description is teasingly vague, but the “Not all stories are made up” tagline gives a nice hint of what’s to come!
“Behind every myth, there’s a spark of truth…
There’s nothing special about Ben Garston. He’s just a guy with an attitude in a beat-up leather jacket, drowning his sorrows in a downtown bar. Or so he’d have you believe.
What Ben Garston can’t let you know is that he was once known as Red Ben. That the world of myth and legend isn’t just a fantasy, as we’ve been led to believe. And he certainly can’t let you know the secret of what’s hiding just beneath his skin…
But not even Ben knows what kind of hell is about to break loose. A centuries-old rivalry has just resurfaced, and the delicate balance between his world and ours is about to be shattered.”

Yes, pretty vague description! But very cool cover and it sounds like it’s going to have humorous elements, which is always a good thing.

I actually really love the vague description! Sometimes it’s nice to go in with few expectations about the plot – although I’m really hoping that there are dragons involved. Because dragons!

I enjoy being surprised too – most of the time 😉

I’ve not seen this before but it sounds like something I would really enjoy – although yes it is vague. Maybe that’s what intrigues me. And dragons – I need more dragons.

I like the tagline for this one too. I hadn’t heard of it before this post. I’ll keep an eye out for reviews of it once it comes out.
