Narrative Concering Books Broken Souls (Eric Carter #2)
When necromancer Eric Carter returned to Los Angeles after fifteen years on the run he knew things were bad, but he never imagined how bad they could get. Sister murdered, best friend dead, married to the patron saint of death, Santa Muerte.And things are just getting worse.
His link to the Aztec death goddess is changing his powers, changing him, and he’s not sure how far it will go. He’s starting to question his own sanity, wonder if he’s losing his mind. No mean feat for a guy who talks to the dead on a regular basis.
While searching for a way to break Santa Muerte’s hold over him, Carter finds himself the target of a psychopath who can steal anyone’s form, powers and memories. Identity theft is one thing, but the guy does it by killing his victims and wearing their skins like a suit. He can be anyone. He can be anywhere.
Now Carter has to change the game, go from hunted to hunter. All he has for help is a Skid Row Bruja and a ghost who’s either his dead friend Alex or Carter’s own guilt-fueled psychotic break.
If things go right, he just might survive a week where everything is trying to kill him and nothing is as it seems.

This is what happens when you eat other people's souls. I don't recommend it.Another crazy and dark adventure of the not-so-fun-kind, at least not for poor Eric. This is no nonsense UF and I got quite a kick out of it. I also liked the introduction of the Bruja. Hopefully she'll stick around. I'm moving straight into the third book.Eric Carter is one of those protagonists who takes a serious beating basically constantly, and it makes his urban fantasy world feel a lot more real as he fires off spells and sics ghosts on people. He's a bit of a magical John McClane, and his emotional damage makes him as interesting as the physical scars he picks up. Blackmoore does a great job of putting Carter into a mysterious world he only barely understands. This story and the one before it function as action-packed dives into the
Also reviewed for Addicted2Heroines.This is nowhere near what I would consider my normal genre, but I really liked it anyway.Broken Souls has that Pulp Fiction feel to it that made me think of hard-boiled detectives and L.A. noirish stuff.Or at least, this is what I assume those books are like.*cough, cough*I've, uh, never actually read a True Crime story. But this was what I imagine they would be like.Take my ramblings with a grain of salt.Eric Carter isn't the kind of guy who has a girlfriend,
Still not the biggest fan of this series. I feel as though it could be improved. That being said I do enjoy the no non-sense main character. The brutality works well. People get hurt, die, etc. The problem I have with it is that with all of these character dying I rarely care about. This is because we are rarely given enough time to form emotional investments in characters other than the main ones. I will probably keep reading this hoping to have the series improve.
Broken Souls is the second book in the Eric Carter series written by Stephen Blackmoore. It centers on Eric Carter, a necromancer, who embraces his powers over the dead.Things haven't been going well for Eric Carter. His sister was murdered not too long ago. His best friend is dead, and his ex-girlfriend Vivian, who was in a relationship with said best friend, blames him and won't speak to him, and hes married to Santa Muerte, a death goddess, whose grinning skull does nothing to put a man in
Okay, this book may not actually be a five star read, but I was having a really shitty month and this was the only bright spot. I love Eric Carter. He is my son, my sweet fuck-up, my idiot boy. He is probably one of my favorite male characters of all time, right up there with John Constantine. He's...just such a fuck up. Everything he touches turns to garbage. Poor baby.
Mon avis en FrançaisMy English reviewI really had a good time with the first volume and as soon as finished, I ordered the second volume (do you believe me if I tell you that I did the same for the third one?) To discover the rest of the adventures of Eric Carter. It must be said that the novel did not finish very well for him!Since the death of his best friend, Eric tries to distance himself from all his knowledge. Yet he is still more than determined to discover how to break his tie to Santa
