A new Deadtown novel in the acclaimed dark urban fantasy series by the author of Bloodstone and Hellforged...

They call it Deadtown: Boston’s quarantined section for its inhuman and undead residents, a result of the zombie plague. Most humans avoid it like...well, like the plague—but shapeshifter Victory Vaughn, Boston’s only professional demon slayer, isn’t exactly human.

Boston’s demons have been disappearing, and Vicky’s clients are canceling left and right. While fewer demons might seem like a good thing, Vicky suspects foul play. A missing Celtic cauldron from Harvard’s Peabody museum leads her to an unwelcome conclusion: Pryce, her demi-demon cousin and bitter enemy, is trying to regain his full powers.

But Pryce isn’t alone. He’s conjured another, darker villain from Vicky’s past. To stop them from destroying everything she loves, she’ll have to face her own worst fear—in the realm of the dead itself.

Review

Praise for the Deadtown Novels

"All urban fantasy lovers should be reading this superb series."--Bitten by Books

"Fresh and funny with a great new take on zombies."--Karen Chance, New York Times bestselling author of Hunt the Moon

"Nancy Holzner is a master of characterization and I'll be buying her next book the moment it hits the shelf."--Ilona Andrews, New York Times bestselling author of Fate's Edge

"Vicky is the kind of kick-butt heroine fantasy lovers can get behind...a novel lovers of fantasy, urban fantasy, and paranormal fiction in general won't want to miss."--Romance Reviews Today --This text refers to the mass_market edition.

About the Author

Nancy Holzner grew up in western Massachusetts with her nose stuck in a book. This meant that she tended to walk into things, wore glasses before she was out of elementary school, and forced her parents to institute a "no reading at the dinner table" rule. It was probably inevitable that she majored in English in college and then, because there were still a lot of books she wanted to read, continued her studies long enough to earn a masters degree and a Ph.D.

She began her career as a medievalist, then jumped off the tenure track to try some other things. Besides teaching English and philosophy, she's worked as a technical writer, freelance editor and instructional designer, college admissions counselor, and corporate trainer.

Nancy lives in upstate New York with her husband Steve, where they both work from home without getting on each other's nerves. She enjoys visiting local wineries and listening obsessively to opera. There are still a lot of books she wants to read.

Good story, excellent new supernatural world, BUT anoying poor use of welsh words

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2013

New take on zombies and the way a world would treat victims of a disease that killed an entire city then the victims returned to "life" 3 days later in their partially rotting bodies. Zombies have an unatural hunger...for popcorn, pizza, bread, sardines and absolutely anything, and if it is not sated regularly they can go feral and become the "" argh grrr brains!" stereotypical zombie of usual legend. As well as zombies the world is dealing with other supernatural creatures who have just been revealed, who are currently being segregated and treated like the plague along with the zombies, fighting to have their rights aacknowledged.
The main character is a shapeshifter who fights dream demons to rid people of nightmares, as well as the occasional harpie or more dangerous traditional demon, the plot is captivating.
The one down side...this author tries to use welsh words, welsh names, welsh legends in her stories and she seems to have gotten them from googling bad web pages, her translations are poor, the names sound corny and the legends are poorly told...basically it's really annoying for anyone with any knowledge of welsh to read these books. The story gets you through the book but not without rolling your eyes.

Worth A Read

Reviewed in the United States on 15 September 2012

I strongly suggest you read the previous books in the series (Deadtown, Hellforged and Bloodstone) prior to reading this installment.

This installment started off a bit slow for me. The story was enjoyable, however, the author donated a little bit more time to Vicky's relationship with her were boyfriend than I would've preferred.

I agree with another reviewer in regards to the cover. I personally found it hideous and I felt that it does not do the series justice.

I found the motive and story plot purposeless. Don't get me wrong, there was action-packed parts and interesting moments, but the story itself felt forced.

Although, I found many parts boring, the book was not dreadful; it just was not as consistently exciting as previous books. Vicky's interaction with her niece and their aunt Mab is always a treat and was a definite highlight.

I recommend this book to fellow dark urban fantasy readers and will read the next book in the series Hellhound due out in 2013.
I also recommend:
Magic Bites (Kate Daniels, Book 1)
Once Bitten
Lethal Rider (Lords of Deliverance)
Secrets of the Demon (Kara Gillian, Book 3)
Harvest Hunting (Sisters of the Moon, Book 8)

These books have been spellbinding, but they've made me so nervous. I've had to put it down to recover. But seeing as how we're on lockdown as the worl fight the Coronavirus, or CCP Virus, which ever; I 've finished another fine book. Now for book five.
The Darklands were amazing with it's environment as pictured by Nancy Holzer.
Darklands will be way worth your time.
