Summary
Seth Caldwell has both magic in his blood and larceny in his heart。 Too bad they could end up getting him killed。
Descended from Sir Francis Drake， he’s inherited his famous ancestor’s flair for adventure as well as the terrible secret of his bloodline - a curse which is slowly killing him。
Now， with the clock ticking， Seth must travel to an ancient temple in Panama that could hold the key to his salvation。 With his family’s enemies hot on his tail， it’s a race against time with death waiting at the finish line。

Set in the same universe as the Conjuring the Coroner series， but set after those events， follow Seth as he tries to break the family curse。 There’s mystery， adventure， romance， and of course， magic！ If you’re an Indiana Jones fan， you’ll love Seth！ These books keep getting better and better！ You don’t need to have read the other series in order to enjoy this one。 I received a free copy of this book， with no obligation。

The author "knocked it out of the park" with this first book of a new series。 Archaeology， adventure， family curse and magic。 Put it altogether and you have an exciting， fast paced， rollercoaster ride！ I love the characters especially Seth Caldwell。 He is like Indiana Jones with magic。 He is so cool。 And where he goes， trouble follows。。。。 I am so looking forward to reading the next book！ The author "knocked it out of the park" with this first book of a new series。 Archaeology， adventure， family curse and magic。 Put it altogether and you have an exciting， fast paced， rollercoaster ride！ I love the characters especially Seth Caldwell。 He is like Indiana Jones with magic。 He is so cool。 And where he goes， trouble follows。。。。 I am so looking forward to reading the next book！ 。。。more

Another great series in the making as we are introduced to Sam and his adventures。 This is book 1 and introduces all the fun new characters and made me fall for them all as they are both fun and entertaining。 I loved how the story started and was hooked to the end。 Had to see if Sam was successful on his little quest and would he survive to the end。 I admit I laughed from all the hilarious scenes， Sam himself， and his friends。 I loved the action， adventure， magic， and might be coming next。 I rea Another great series in the making as we are introduced to Sam and his adventures。 This is book 1 and introduces all the fun new characters and made me fall for them all as they are both fun and entertaining。 I loved how the story started and was hooked to the end。 Had to see if Sam was successful on his little quest and would he survive to the end。 I admit I laughed from all the hilarious scenes， Sam himself， and his friends。 I loved the action， adventure， magic， and might be coming next。 I read it in one sitting as it was so good。 。。。more

Just try to breathe if you can！I was excited to read this spinoff of the Conjuring the Coroner series。 There are some hints if not direct reference to the attack on New York that had taken place in that series however， it is not necessary to have read it before this book。 This could easily be read as a stand alone book but it would enhance your experience if you had read Conjuring the Coroner。 I know I had some “aha” moments as I read。 I’m thrilled that Mr。 Stokes saw fit to include those New Yo Just try to breathe if you can！I was excited to read this spinoff of the Conjuring the Coroner series。 There are some hints if not direct reference to the attack on New York that had taken place in that series however， it is not necessary to have read it before this book。 This could easily be read as a stand alone book but it would enhance your experience if you had read Conjuring the Coroner。 I know I had some “aha” moments as I read。 I’m thrilled that Mr。 Stokes saw fit to include those New York moments so we could get a different perspective of those events。 Half-Blood’s Hex is a little bit magic and a little bit Temple of Doom。 Just as I was thinking Seth was home free， things took a turn for the worst。 I could not figure out how he was going to get out of it。 But that turn for the worst wasn’t actually “the” turn for the worst。 It got much ‘worst’。 How he got out of it was remarkable。 Mr Stokes has quite the imagination and power in his words。 He writes clearly described scenes which make it easy to visualize as well as the action scenes。 Seth gets himself into and out of trouble so many times it seems as though action is the norm for him。 By the time you reach the end you will be taking deep breaths just to recoup。 But don’t spend too much time on that deep breath because there is a hint of much more coming in the next book。 。。。more

Breathtaking book。 Sam has created another incredible adventure series that is every bit as good as Kasey’s series。It’s a mix of the Dirk Pitt books and Indiana （J） but is in a class of its own。Belonging to a wizard family has its benefits and it’s curses but thrilling fantasy doesn’t even begin to describe how good this book is。I still haven’t forgiven Sam for the ending。 It’s a car thing but you’ll have to read it to find out what I mean。 This is an outstanding book as I’m sure the series will Breathtaking book。 Sam has created another incredible adventure series that is every bit as good as Kasey’s series。It’s a mix of the Dirk Pitt books and Indiana （J） but is in a class of its own。Belonging to a wizard family has its benefits and it’s curses but thrilling fantasy doesn’t even begin to describe how good this book is。I still haven’t forgiven Sam for the ending。 It’s a car thing but you’ll have to read it to find out what I mean。 This is an outstanding book as I’m sure the series will be。 Romance thrown in for good measure。 All in all a must read。 。。。more
