Waiting on Wednesday is a meme that was hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon. It has gone the way of the wind and is no longer hosted there. But Wishful Endings is now hosting Can’t Wait Wednesday so we can keep the momentum going and link up there.
OK, Brian McClellan writing urban fantasy?? I definitely feel like I need to check this one out! Plus it sounds like it has quite an intriguing list of characters.
Uncanny Collateral (Valkyrie Collection, #1) by Brian McClellanAlso by this author: Promise of Blood, The Crimson Campaign
on April 2, 2019
Alek Fitz is a reaper, a collection agent who works for the supernatural elements of the world, tracking down debtors and solving problems for clients as diverse as the Lords of Hell, vampires, Haitian loa, and goblins. He’s even worked for the Tooth Fairy on occasion. Based out of Cleveland, Ohio, Alek is the best in the game. As a literal slave to his job, he doesn’t have a choice.
When Death comes looking for someone to track down a thief, Alek is flung into a mess of vengeful undead, supernatural bureaucracy, and a fledgling imp war. As the consequences of failure become dire, he has few leads, and the clock is ticking. Only with the help of his friend Maggie—an ancient djinn with a complex past—can he hope to recover the stolen property, save the world, and just maybe wring a favor out of the Great Constant himself.
It’s a hell of a job, but somebody’s got to do it . . .
This looks like fun! Is it going to be self published?

That’s what it looks like to me based mainly on The way the goodreads listing looks. I heard about it through his newsletter a while back

This looks pretty awesome. I love the sound of the supernatural elements, including a djinn- yay! I love it when more uncommon type creatures show up. 🙂
Fantastic cover too.

This one sound all sorts of fun… Thank you for sharing!
This sounds action packed and fun! I hope you love it as much as you hope to!
Looks like he’s trying different things, and making use of self publishing platforms to do it. I like it!
Thank you for bring this to my attention! I love Gods of Blood and Power and have been meaning to read more by him.
This sounds like a lot of fun, but I don’t think I’ll like it 🙁 From the Goodreads page, it’s not a long read so I might try it anyway.

Quite a long way from his flintlock fantasy series, but… well, it’s McClellan, so that makes it a MUST read, of course! 😀
Thanks for sharing!
