A Tail of Two Cities

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

It was the age of Starbucks, it was the age of phone apps. It was the season of the supernatural, it was the season of the mundane. It was the winter of coffee, it was the spring of more coffee...a lot more coffee. It was the epoch of jewelry store robbing reptiles, it was the epoch of early parole.

After eighteen years in a Locus of Baltimore dungeon, Dr. Agon is released to the care of his daughter in the Locus of New York. Following a spate of robberies, Dru and Leery spend the night together...

On a stakeout! (Why? What were you thinking?)

Can they keep their cool or will things get hot in A Tail of Two Cities?

Critical Acclaim for CLAW & WARDER:
★★★★★ "[T]he 'other world' is swarming with their own problems to keep their side under control in New York. I'm no stranger to Erik Henry Vick's universe as I'm a fan of The Bloodletter Saga. Vick's intriguing, ghoulish, fast-paced plot and solid characterization are as entertaining as I expected. There are ample thrills, chills, and fun to satisfy readers' appetites. The dialogue and prose generate the entertaining moments and the degree of tension best suited to launch the next twist...yet more proof of Erik Henry Vick's storytelling expertise in the supernatural world."--Lit Amri, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ "I enjoyed the amalgamation of so many types of supernaturals... The banter between the characters was brilliantly executed, portraying different levels of complex relationships. Sometimes I couldn't help but grin at a well-spun conversation, let alone how the creatures' unique traits or weaknesses are evoked to further the investigation. I enjoyed the third-person narrative and how the high-pressure roles were portrayed... The characters were brilliantly portrayed."--K.J. Simmill, Readers' Favorite Reviews
★★★★★ "The idea that there are two simultaneous types of society working side-by-side was a fascinating premise... The characters are fully overdrawn, as is the nature in this genre, and author Erik Henry Vick has done a fantastic job of giving them real and recognizable emotions and foibles that endear them to the reader... The writing style is flowing and easy to read. If urban fantasy is your thing, this is a book you must read but even if it's not, this is a book you should read. I did and I'm glad of it - an excellent read."--Grant Leishman, Readers' Favorite Reviews
