Praise for this book
Devine Enquiries II: Witches, Ogres and Trolls by Martin Hull is the second Devine Enquires novel. I read the first book and enjoyed it immensely. If you can, you should read it—it’s worth your time. If not, you’ll still enjoy Devine Enquiries II. It’s a strong stand-alone novel.
It has been almost a year since I read the first book, and the reacquaintance of the characters and the world they live in, was appreciated. Martin Hull does a really good job world-building and. Introducing the characters to new readers so that the they are not lost, without making the readers of Devine Enquiries feel that they’ve heard that story before.
We meet up with our hero, Jason Devine, as he stumbles into a global genocide plot while investigating another supernatural occurrence in London at the behest of his old friend Hilary St. John Stevens, Chief Inspector of the London Police. Initially Jason was tasked with investigating statues all over London coming to life and killing non-humans—werewolves, vampires, fairies, goblins, and elves. His mission—to find out why and how the statues are being animated, and then figure out who, or what, is causing the chaos across the city.
It turns out that a very powerful coven of witches is behind the mayhem. Their end goal is to return the world to “humans only” by killing all non-humans. That would mean millions upon millions of deaths. So Jason, along with his partner Sam and his demon dog Gizmo, head out to find a way to stop the witches and bring stability back to London. Not an easy task—like I mentioned, these are very powerful witches who, it would seem, are impossible to stop.
But London isn’t the only locale where the witches’s dark magic will wreck havoc. Their evil plot extends to the different worlds where the non-human groups live—banshees, elves, ogres, trolls. Almost all of the mystical creatures face mass extinction, and Jason has to stop them.
Devine Enquiries II is a fast-paced urban fantasy. It’s an exciting book that follows Jason as he tries to stop the genocide, as the clock ticks down. What will happen to all his friends who are not human? To Sam? To Gizmo? To Jason himself?
Read Devine Enquiries II to find the answers. Read Devine Enquiries II for peek at a very different world from the one we know. Read Devine Enquiries II for just the fun of the story itself. You won’t be disappointed.
