Blog Tour: Of Gods and Madness by @justindherd #review #giveaway



Fantasy Noir
Date Published: 7/21/2015


A mobster learns he's becoming a god, only to discover they die too. 
The right hand of the dominant mob family, Raine Morgan is tasked with hunting down two miscreants messing with the bottom line. He finds them on the docks, but, in the confusion of the fight, accidentally kills their victim and lets them escape. Horrified at what he's done, Raine seeks redemption as well as revenge. 

Things spiral out of control when a greedy middleman overthrows Raine's mob organization. It's only with the help of a friend inside the crumbling mob as well as a streetwise artist that Raine remains undetected as he searches for the men who started this all. Raine doesn’t realize, however, he has caught the attention of a disparate conclave of gods in the process. 

As the pantheon returns to the city they'd abandoned, old conflicts re-emerge, causing divine civil war. Both sides try to pull Raine to their side, expecting to find a naive god for them to manipulate. Instead, they find a man stripped of everything, intent on playing both sides as they learn an awful reality - even gods can die.



Review

This novel has a little of everything. The main character is a Mobster and a pretty powerful one at that. His morals are definitely questionable and through things that happen you see him deal with guilt and look to exact revenge as well as try to redeem himself from his actions, even though they were not intentional. I liked that I could feel his remorse yet his darker tendencies still prevailed.

The fantasy aspect was well done and a great addition to the story. It gave the story another layer of depth.

Be prepared for a wild ride with a lot of action and twists and turns throughout.
