Warlock Holmes - The Sign of Nine | G. S. Denning
3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
"If you ever wondered how much better Sherlock would be if people could hurl hellfire at each other, well this one is for you." Starburst Magazine on A Study in Brimstone Warlock Holmes may have demons in his head, but now Dr. John Watson has a mummy in his bloodstream. Specifically that of the sorcerer Xantharaxes, who when shredded and dissolved in an 8% solution, results in some extremely odd but useful prophetic dreams. There's also the small matter of Watson falling for yet another damsel-du-jour, and Warlock deciding that his companion needs some domestic bliss...

🎧 I‘m so annoyed LOL I SKIPPED BOOK THREE!! Well this is still another great installment of fun!

Watson is still the smart one except on affairs of the heart. Holmes has that covered as he feels Watson needs a little heart.

In the mean time Watson is busy having wild dreams due to a mummy being ground up and inserted into his blood.

Don‘t ask, just read it! It‘s funny, sweet and a bit spooky. Can‘t wait for the nemesis to show up!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Twainy Is it wrong that I will reread this book after 3 & before 5? 😁 fun spin to Sherlock Holmes. 3y

Catching up on reviews!

By now it is safe to say I am a fan of Warlock Holmes! I had a bit of a break in the middle before finishing this one but I think that was more about my lack of concentration recently and how bad I am at finishing things.

Mehso-so

Me, to Dini: “Look, if you‘re not going to move, I *am* going to balance a book on you”....

Warlock Holmes... Probably I‘m being harsh giving it a So-So but I am a fan & ditzy, bumbling Holmes annoyed me. There are moments of hysteria & a brilliant bit on Ode to Joy but I couldn‘t reconcile the pastiche with my beloved Holmes (and it‘s a god damned cliffhanger ending 😡). Curiosity may see me read the rest of the series (this is 3 & was a gift).

RamsFan1963 I read the first one and thought it was good, I have the second but haven't gotten to it yet 5y
GlassAsDiamonds @RamsFan1963 I did wonder!!!!! I was intrigued enough to want to read the first few (kill me, this is a cliffhanger ending, next book released 2020 which ... 😡😡😡😡) But if Holmes doesn‘t have some serious character development, I‘m gonna be peeved! 5y
RamsFan1963 @GlassAsDiamonds Book 1 ended in a cliffhanger also, I guess that's the writer's hook to bring you back book after book. I wasn't that compelled lol. 5y
