2020 Readers' Favorite International Book Awards Honorable Mention for Urban FantasyEveryone has a past, even Hassidic werewolves. Leery's past has a taste for blood and wants revenge. There's a killer running wild in the East Village, and according to the witness, it's Leery Oriscoe in wolf form. When Van Helsing puts him on a desk, Leery storms off, leaving Dru to prove his innocence. But to do it, she will need help from her mother, and that means a trip to Hell. It looks like Dru picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. After another body drops, Leery is in the clear, but the Rabbi that turned him becomes the prime suspect. To make things worse, the Zombie mafia's pet necromancer assassin is in town, and she's gunning for Leery. What better time for his Rabbi to ask him for one itty-bitty teensy-weensy little Mitzvah?Critical Acclaim for CLAW & WARDER:????? “Right from the off, the conceptual reading experience of Hassidic werewolves in a dark but well ordered supernatural New York was an utter delight to become immersed in. Having been a huge fan of author Erik Henry Vick for his Bloodletter Saga, I already knew that the author was capable of high tension, vivid atmosphere and some really visceral and exciting horror moments, but it was a true triumph to see these coerced and molded into the crime and murder mystery genre in this unique new series. Leery and Dru are fantastic protagonists with an unusual friendship dynamic, and I also really enjoyed how the social structures of the police force and other societies in this alternative New York are played out. Overall, I would highly recommend Mitzvah and the Claw & Warder series in general to urban fantasy, crime, and mystery fans looking for a high-quality read.”--K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite Reviews????? “…maintains the dark, funny, and fast-paced plot of the series, blending good detective work with the intricately chaotic world of the supernatural. Episode 3 demands to be read in one held breath as its tide bears down on all in the final fight scene that is epic in its own right. The ghostly Judge Sewall becomes my latest favorite character as he has the last say in the court against the antagonist. As always, Erik Henry Vick delivers the satisfaction of seeing a problem resolved while overtly indicating that future troubles are ahead; this means more fun, crazy, and murderous supernatural cases for Leery and Dru.“-Lit Amri, Readers' Favorite Reviews????? “ …a phenomenal fantasy with extraordinary characters. Not only are there zombies, vampires, ghosts, and werewolves but Van Helsing's daughter, Edgar Cayce, and the queen of Hell. Magic, murder, and good old fashioned sleuthing are combined to create a dramatic and breathtaking plot. [I]t is an action-packed story complete with enough blood and gore to thrill those who are Van Helsing fans and love urban fantasy.”--Susan Sewell, Readers' Favorite ReviewsWhat readers are saying about the series:?????
