Publisher Description

Meet Holmes—Warlock Holmes, that is—in this laugh-out-loud mash-up that puts a paranormal spin on 6 classic Sherlock Holmes stories!

Ogres and vampires, “Holmesian callbacks, and Douglas Adams-worthy puns”—a “charming and well-imagined” ode to the Great Detective (Barnes & Noble SFF Blog).

Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius. Warlock Holmes is an idiot. Warlock Holmes is a font of arcane power—but he’s brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn’t deduce his way out of a paper bag.
 
The only thing he has going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart companion. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety—and save him from a gruesome death every now and again.

So much fun!

My biggest disappointment with this book probably couldn't be helped. Simply: it ended.
The more I read, the more I hoped the book would get magically bigger. In the last chapter I took breaks at every scene change just hoping to make it last.

Holmes is a bit of a goof really while Watson seems more likely than even in Doyle's stories because, as a medical man one would expect him to be clever. And he is! But Holmes is not a fool, his knowledge is just focused on stranger things.
I found myself laughing out loud and by the second chapter had developed the wherewithal to highlight those laugh out loud moments (e-readers are so convenient). I'm not a fast reader but I couldn't put this book down. I was overjoyed as I turned the last page to see I'll get more Warlock Holmes in May. I hope it is as good as the first one!
