Seriously, you give your parents a little leeway, and what do they do? They go and join a band of witch hunters.
Morelli here. Cassie seems to find herself too busy eating pastries, breaking out of jail, and saving the Magic world (again) to bother with writing her own book description, so she's fobbed the chore off on me.
Some people, am I right?
Anyway, Black refuses to let me see a single page of the manuscript, but since I was there for most of the story, I can tell you this book is going to be full of...
- Eager-for-battle ghosts,
- Misbehaving Tower ravens,
- On-call dragons,
- Spell-crafting elves,
- Rat-stomping trolls,
- A tiny bit of necromancy,
- And a very heroic (if I do say so myself) half-troll who just happens to like crochet and classic TV
And even though this tale features a big old battle against evil, there's still plenty of Black's wry humor, fantastical mystery, and silly situations. (Because, okay, I did manage to sneak a peek at a draft of Black's manuscript... don't tell her).
So, if you like contemporary fantasy filled with, well, all that stuff I just mentioned, you'll love the twists and turns of this final installment of The Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0. Grab your copy today!
IMPORTANT, Somewhat Sales-y Note:
The Unexpected Mr Hopkins is the third book in The Cassie Black Trilogy 2.0.
Now, while you might enjoy a few of Cassie's hijinks, the story will only make sense if you've read the trilogy's previous two books: The Unusual Mayor Marheart and The Unbearable Inspector Oberlin. Both are available at most book retailers, so be sure to grab them today and gobble them up while you're waiting for Mr Hopkins to arrive.
And, if you want to see how Cassie Black's story started (amongst a bit of walking-dead mayhem), you'll want to pick up The Undead Mr. Tenpenny, Book 1 of The Cassie Black Trilogy 1.0... available where all laugh-out-loud books are sold.
What readers have to say about the series so far...
Wow and wow again! I absolutely loved this book! You get such a feel for the characters and the story is so fast paced you don't want to put it down.
More, please!
I was unable to put this down when I started reading it. The author combines humour with a fast paced murder mystery all packed into a funeral home.
...suffused with dark humor and witty dialogue...
Cassie Black, won me over in the first book of this series, and she doesn't disappoint in this one!!!
