In B. C. James's Mistress of the Second Circle, be prepared to explore a realm where the supernatural world collides with an intriguing criminal investigation. What begins as a standard Tinder date for Cassius Reming concludes in his jarring murder inside a run-down motel room. As a result, Detective Kace McCrae soon finds himself drawn into a sinister and baffling case that exposes the tip of the iceberg. Unknown to him, there is an intense war among Hell’s demonic coalitions. With Satan surprisingly missing in action and his throne vacant, this causes a fierce fight for control in the underworld. At the center of this case is a ring with the frightening ability to control demons. Somehow, Kace ends up in possession of said ring. Entangled between shifting allegiances and demonic forces, Kace must carefully navigate these shocking events. Will he survive in the end?
Mistress of the Second Circle is a definite must-read. B. C. James’s writing is crisp and inviting, effortlessly integrating the candid delivery of a police procedural with the exciting allure of a dark fantasy novel. The plot holds a steady pace without sacrificing narrative or character detail. James creates striking scenes that breathe life into the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas and the diabolical depths of Hell. At the core of this tale is Kace—a multi-dimensional character who is both clear-minded and original. Even his encounters with Hell's spawn add a fascinating layer of mystery and excitement to the storyline. What dark fantasy and mystery novel would be complete if it did not have an enthralling cast of characters, made up of demons, sirens, and succubi? Overall, this is a masterfully executed narrative that captures your attention from the very first page. The author has created a unique world and main character that hint at a riveting series ahead.
