Información de la obraA Flash of Hex por Jes Battis
   Best Urban Fantasy (403) Read in 2014 (252) Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.   romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 |  Battis contributes all the fun and readability of the urban fantasy genre, but isn't afraid to let a verbose vocabulary add to the writing. This academic bent shines forth in the diversity rainbow of characters that parade through the novel; Battis manages to cultivate this diversity just shy of the line of too much, celebrating within the variety the many differences that do not see written attention frequently. While occasionally slipping into a digressive queer theorist mode, it is never long enough to turn attention away from the character building. As an added plus, the OSI (Occult Special Investigation) novels blend elements of forensic mystery solidly with urban fantasy - think Kathy Reichs researching magical crime, further helping elide the distinctions between genre novels. A Flash of Hex manages that difficult step in being an even better novel than its predecessor, establishing continuity and developing its worldview. Our spunky redhead Tess has some growth to pursue, and I for one cannot wait to read more about her love interest fleshing out his tight black t-shirts. (  )1  Aeyan | Jun 22, 2009 | On a personal level, I enjoyed this book much more than I did the first one. The characters seem much more comfortably written this time around, with dialogue seeming to flow well and action that didn't feel forced. For anyone looking for a break from the normal Urban Fantasy/Paranormal worlds, I recommend giving this series a try. I will once again be looking forward to the next installment.

"As an Occult Special Investigator, Tess Corday has seen her fair share of disturbing crime scenes--but nothing has ever shocked her as much as the ritualistic murder of a drugged-out runaway kid, who she soon learns was not the first such victim. All the dead teens had traces of the dangerous magical drug called Hex in their bodies. All were the children of powerful mage families. All were killed with the sacred tools of mages. It adds up to the chilling possibility that the OSI is dealing with a serial killer, one who has incredible inhuman powers. To stop the slaughter, Tess and her partner, Derrick, will go anywhere and do anything--including seeking help from the necromancer Lucian Agrado, whom Tess is under orders to avoid. But as the deaths continue, Tess becomes convinced that the identity of the killer is locked inside her own head. And the question is, how many rules is she willing to break to get to the truth?"
