Burned

Alex Verus, Book 7

By: Benedict Jacka

Narrated by: Gildart Jackson

Diviner Alex Verus finally made one too many enemies on the Council of Mages, and now one of them is angry enough to have him executed. Fighting for his life is nothing new, but this kill order also calls for the death of Alex's dependents - and there's no way that he'll let Luna, Anne, and Vari take the heat.

With only a week before he's history, Alex will have to figure out how to disassociate himself from his friends, scrounge up allies on the council, and hopefully keep his head attached to his body. But saving himself is going to bring him into direct opposition with his former master and the Dark mages surrounding him. And this time, escaping with his life might mean losing his soul....

Awesome

Alex Verus has nine lives and he has used 7. I don't know what is going to happen in the next book, but, I can't wait. There is a lot of character development among all of the characters and the relationships are shifting into twosomes instead of a foursome. This is a great book and series. I look forward to the next book.

Oh No

I have loved this series and all of the characters. The story moved along very well, but I was very sad at the end. Please Mr Jacka help our Alex in the next book.

Slow start but a terrific last half

I know what I'm getting from Benedict Jacka's books...I can never predict how they turn out or where they are going. Very enjoyable and leaves me wanting more.

Best so far

This is the best story if the series so far. Great suspense, fantastic cadence, lulls you in subtilely.

Thought it was good.

I read reviews of people who didn't really care for this book. I thought it was great I kept wondering how things were going to end and I couldn't figure it out like I could with a few of the other books. It kept on the edge a lot. I really enjoy Gilbart Jackson's narration a lot.
