Cursed (An Alex Verus Novel)
Dark rituals drag London mage Alex Verus into the center of a conspiracy in this thrilling novel from the national bestselling author of Marked.
Since his second sight made him infamous for defeating powerful dark mages, Alex Verus has been keeping his head down. But now he's discovered the resurgence of a forbidden ritual. Someone is harvesting the life-force of magical creatures—destroying them in the process. And draining humans is next on the agenda.
Hired to investigate, Alex discovers not everyone on the Council wants him delving any deeper. Struggling to distinguish ally from enemy, he finds himself the target of those who would risk their own sanity for power. Alex still has the advantage of seeing the future—but he might not have a future for much longer.

I read this through Audible, and I just cannot get past the narrator. His voice doesn't fit with what I think Alex should sound like and he does the WORST female voices I have ever heard. They sound like he's being patronizing (I don't think he actually is, I think he's just that bad at voices). I will continue this series as actual books in an effort to keep going with them.
The story itself was decent. I like the ideas of the shared dream world, and some less common "supernatural" powers. The pacing is decent, I didn't feel like it was overly drawn out or anything.
