Another week begins. I quickly slip into my business suit and head back into the office to save a few innocent people. Most weeks I’m dreading the weekly grind, but this week is different, as I am just so happy to be getting out of the house!
Quite simply, the last ten days have been pretty horrible for me and my family. One after the other all of us came down with the flu and were knocked on our butts. Honestly, I spent every moment taking care of myself or my kids. Thankfully, the pestilence is slowly clearing from our home, so, maybe, I can get back to reading some great books.
The Midnight Front by David Mack
Genre: Fantasy – WWII
Series: Dark Arts #1
Publisher: Tor Books (January 30, 2018)
Author Information: Website|Twitter
Length: 464 pages
On the eve of World War Two, Nazi sorcerers come gunning for Cade but kill his family instead. His one path of vengeance is to become an apprentice of The Midnight Front—the Allies’ top-secret magickal warfare program—and become a sorcerer himself.
Unsure who will kill him first—his allies, his enemies, or the demons he has to use to wield magick—Cade fights his way through occupied Europe and enemy lines. But he learns too late the true price of revenge will be more terrible than just the loss of his soul—and there’s no task harder than doing good with a power born of ultimate evil.
Reading copy of a book featuring WWII sorcerers makes me think of the Milkweed Triptych, which just makes me want to reread the Milkweed Triptych.

As long as it’s not Nazi zombie, I’m willing to give it a read 😛 I actually tried to get David on for an interivew (but it can very diffulty with TOR sometimes), so I really will be eager to read a review for this, because I genuinely am interested in this one.
