The latest Broken Magic novel from national bestselling author Devon Monk. Marked by Life and Death magic, Shame Flynn and Terric Conley are "breakers"--those who can use magic to its full extent. Most of the time, they can barely stand each other, but they know they have to work together to defeat a common enemy--rogue magic user Eli Collins. Backed by the government, Eli is trying to use magic as a weapon by carving spells into the flesh of innocents and turning them into brainless walking bombs. To stop him, Shame and Terric will need to call on their magic, even as it threatens to consume them--because the price they must pay to wield Life and Death could change the very fate of the world...and magic itself.

I did not care for the Broken Magic duology (yes I know it's now a word but you get my meaning) as I did for the main one (Allie Beckstrom).
I understand we're in some magic universe but this seems a little too far fetched for me.
This was by far the darkest and best book by Devon Monk so far! As much as I love Shame it was great to read Terric's point of view as well. He is such a complex character, one that I haven't been able to fully understand until this book. I was glad to finally learn more about Cody as well and his humor made me grin. I hope someday Devon Monk writes about Zay, Cody, Shame and Terric in a prequel series. The characters certainly talk about their past and drop hints enough for it.
