The Pyre Starter – The Talisman War Book 1

Magic is all around us!

The Pyre Starter

Exhausted with life, Dakota tries to end his—only to be saved at the last moment by his friend, Terrell, who then drags him into a world of magic and intrigue that’s always been right there, hidden beneath the surface. Powerful magic users are steadily dragging the planet into a violent war, and evil forces will stop at nothing to take the talismans possessed by Dakota and his newfound family. Dakota soon finds himself deeply in over his head—with love, with family, with fighting for all their lives.

With well-written characters, back stories, dialogue, mystery, love and chaos – this book is a quality read, author Jaimie N. Schock has done an excellent job with this one!

I really enjoyed this book. I like the way it represents magic happening in our modern world and follows our hero who to me at first was an anti-hero who himself was saved. It pulls no punches when it comes to killing off characters (stand aside George R.R. Marin) and keeps the story moving along. If you’re looking for a book that touches on the struggles we have as people, just trying to live, to be happy, in a crazy world of magic and a war you didn’t know anything about, this book is it. I recommend it.
