Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine, and is a fun way to share upcoming books that we’re excited about with other bloggers and readers.
Cue the awesome punny titles! I’m not usually a lover of puns, but you gotta love this one:
Twenty-something bartender Jason Bishop’s world is shattered when his estranged father commits suicide, but the greater shock comes when he learns his father was a secret agent in the employ of the Invisible Hand; an ancient society of spies wielding magic in a centuries-spanning war. Now the Golden Dawn; the shadowy cabal of witches and warlocks responsible for Daniel Bishop’s murder, and the death of Jason’s mother years before, have Jason in their sights. His survival will depend on mastering his own dormant magic abilities; provided he makes it through the training.
From New York, to Paris, to world between worlds, Jason’s journey through the realm of magic will be fraught with peril. But with enemies and allies on both sides of this war, whom can he trust? The Invisible Hand, who’ve been more of a family than his own family ever was? The Golden Dawn, who may know the secrets behind his mysterious lineage? For Jason Bishop, only one thing is for certain; the magic he has slowly been mastering is telling him not to trust anybody.
Magicians Impossible by Brad Abraham. Releases in July 2017 from Thomas Dunne Books. This sounds like so much fun, and bonus points for a really good cover, too:-) I’ll be putting in my request for this book very soon!
Whereas I LOVE puns. Kinda cool but something strange. They way his head is all wispy is really similar to the moths the replace the Beast’s head in the TV show Magicians. Wonder if they deliberately invoked that.

Good question, I’ve never seen that show, so not sure?
I am really loving the cover. This sounds really good but I may have to wait for your review to decide if it’s a book for me or not.

I know what you mean, sometimes you just need to read a few reviews first. I’m the same way:-)
Yes, maybe the blurb is a little spoilery, but who cares when the story sounds so compelling? 😀

And the publisher just sent me a “less spoilery” blurb, lol!
Sounds like a really good book. I’ll have to look into it. Hope you enjoy it!
What an interesting cover! I like how the smoke is coming off of his body so it almost looks like he is disintegrating or something. 😀 The Invisible Hand group sounds intense! I hope you enjoy this book when you get a chance to read it, Tammy.
Thanks for visiting my blog! Have a fantastic week. =)

I love the cover too, it’s very unique! Thanks for stopping by, Alyssa:-)
Thanks, Tammy! It’s my first novel and I’m super proud of it. Regarding the seeming spoilers in the synopsis … in a story dealing with magic, you can’t always trust what your eyes are seeing.
Ha ha I will keep that in mind! Thanks for stopping by, Brad! I’m super excited for your book:-)
That does sound incredibly good but the cover really sold me. 🙂

The cover is very good and a bit creepy! I like the sound of this one but I will probably wait to see how I’m getting on with my review books – still catching up.

For some reason I’m getting a VICIOUS vibe from this book:-)
