Al MacBharrais is both blessed and cursed. He is blessed with an extraordinary white moustache, an appreciation for craft cocktails - and a most unique magical talent. He can cast spells with magically enchanted ink and he uses his gifts to protect our world from rogue minions of various pantheons, especially the Fae.But he is also cursed. Anyone who hears his voice will begin to feel an inexplicable hatred for Al, so he can only communicate through the written word or speech apps. And his apprentices keep dying in peculiar freak accidents. As his personal life crumbles around him, he devotes his life to his work, all the while trying to crack the secret of his curse.But when his latest apprentice, Gordie, turns up dead in his Glasgow flat, Al discovers evidence that Gordie was living a secret life of crime. Now Al is forced to play detective - while avoiding actual detectives who are wondering why death seems to always follow Al. Investigating his apprentice's death will take him through Scotland's magical underworld, and he'll need the help of a mischievous hobgoblin if he's to survive.

Finished the #LMPBC book for September. I skimmed chunks of this book (lots of fight scenes). But overall, I did like the world and the magic and some of the characters.

I had a few start and stops with the book, but I think I needed to just read it through. I like this world and the story line and the profanity cracked me up! I have a new appreciation for hobgoblins. I‘m glad this was an #lmpbc book and it will be in the mail Tuesday.

I literally sat down to finish the book 😆I‘m trapped by cute kittens playing footstool over my leg. Aoife is clearly saying pay attention to me not a book and Saoirse took over my lap. #catsoflitsy #cutekittens #readingproblems

@TheSpineView
Thanks for the tag @SusanLee

1) Only had one new read and one reread. So I tagged the new read.

2) That it's set in Scotland. And that the MC is older and not a daredevil.

TheSpineView Great job! 2y

Ready for cooking!
The book is really fun btw. I had to leave it on the side burner for a while, but started reading again yesterday. I really like the protagonist and the cheeky hobgoblin, too.

BookNAround Too cute! 2y

The fun, creative plot lines and sense of humor in Hearne's books never fails to delight me!

I didn't quite click with Al as well as I clicked with Atticus at first, but I still enjoyed this book immensely and am looking forward to the next in the series!

#bookhaul I haven‘t been around bc last week was my first week back at work and munchkin‘s first week of daycare. And now of course he‘s sick and so am I bc he sneezed directly into my mouth 🤦‍♀️😳

Butterfinger First of many times. 4y
BethM @Butterfinger I feel so bad for him and I can‘t make him better 😔 4y
Butterfinger I hope you both start feeling better soon. 4y
Avanders 🤭🤣 Oh man I‘m sorry .. the sneezing and coughing in mouth 😜 Or my personal favorite, he licked mark‘s eyeball once 🤣🤣🤣 But ooooooh your poor little guy 🥺🥺 Your hugs and comfort are everything to him — I know it‘s hard, but just remind yourself he needs to go through this to build up his immune system! Bugs is a tank now, but there was a year of sick first... you 2 will get through it and be stronger! 🦾🤗🙏🏽♥️ 4y
BethM @Avanders he very much wants to just be snuggled. And omg eyeball licked 😆😆😆😆 4y

Mehso-so

Lighthearted read of a magical fairy/monster tale set in Glasgow - nice to be able to envisage the familiar in amongst the fantastical.
