    About this audiobook

    A MORRIS AND CHASTAIN INVESTIGATION Supernatural investigator Quincey Morris and his partner, "white witch" Libby Chastain, are each in pursuit of a vicious killer. One is murdering small children for their bodily organs; the other is hunting down white witches - and Libby may be next. Along a trail that leads from Iraq to Turkey, to the US, all clues point to crazed billionaire Walter Grobius, a man obsessed with harnessing the ultimate evil. Morris and Chastain, teamed with the deadly Hannah Widmark, must fight desperately to stop a midnight rendezvous between forces so powerful that the fate of the world may be at stake. And the clock is ticking... Evil Ways continues the electrifying series of supernatural thrillers following the exploits of investigators Quincey Morris and Libby Chastain. Author bio: Justin Gustainis is a college professor living in upstate New York. He is the author of the novel The Hades Project (2003), as well as a number of short stories. In his misspent youth, Mr. Gustainis was, at various times, a busboy, soldier, speechwriter and professional bodyguard.

      Escape From Auschwitz: The Most Extraordinary Holocaust Story You’ve Never Heard

      Jun 4, 2022

      Escape was lunacy, escape was death. To attempt it was suicide. That much had been taught to Walter Rosenberg early, within a week of his arrival in Auschwitz, aged just 17, at the start of July 1942. One afternoon, he and thousands of others had bee

      Solving The The Risley Silver Man Mystery

      Sep 10, 2020

      The case of the Risley Silver Man is one of those forgotten classics of the 1970s that deserves another look. I say “forgotten”, although Jenny Randles wrote about the episode in these pages in 2013 (FT305:29), describing it as “one of the strangest”

      This one started off a bit slow but gained momentum as it continued, I loved the shadow of a cameo by Harry Dresden (he doesn't appear because he has other things he has to do but Morris and Chastain visit his stomping grounds). Someone is killing white witches and children and Morris and Chastain have to try to stop them before they do something earth-shattering.

      I liked it, it wasn't remarkable but it was diverting.
    • 5/5
      This second case for Morris and Chastain ramps up the intensity of the first case. Someone, in fact a group of someones, are killing children and harvesting their organs. Morris is blackmailed by FBI Agent Dale Fenton and his new white witch partner Colleen O'Donnell to investigate the case. Meanwhile, someone is targeting and killing white witches and have made a few unsuccessful attempts to kill Libby Chastain. Quincey has Libby join him to help with his investigation and to protect her too. To provide additional protection, he enlists Hannah Widmark who is another very dangerous character. Both the FBI investigation and Quincy and Libby's investigation start pointing the same direction. A black magician named Lewis Pardee is planning something big. Like, lay waste to the Earth big.Pardee is funded by zillionaire Walter Grobius who is hoping for healing from his terminal illness and extended life. Pardee has other goals. The action is tense in this one. I love the relationship between Quincey and Libby. They are friends and partners but have no romantic interest in each other. Both respect the other's competence and together they are a very formidable team.This was another great urban fantasy that was filled with action and adventure.

      Finally an Urban Fantasy book that is not First Person. I like reading first person books like Dresden and Sookie but its nice to change it up a bit. And Urban Fantasy doesn't seem to lend itself as a genre to third person. But we have it here thanks to Justin Gustainis. This is the second book dealing with Morris and Libby Chastain. He is a super-nat Quincey ural private investigator and she is a White Witch. This time around the FBI wants Quincey to investigate a bunch of children being murdered around the country, sometimes happening on the same day. Generally Quincey would call Libby up to get her super-natural perspective on things but she is being target by assassins. So she asks him for protection. The two FBI agents are researching it from their perspective as well. And everything leads to Pardee and his employer Walter Grobius. What are they up to and what does a book taken from a museum in Iraq have to do with everything?This is a great fun book. More is added on from the first and there may be an over all arc that Gustainis is working with here. The first book is not really necessary to read before this one though it helps to become familiar with the main characters. Also if you are a Dresden fan a certain pub owner in Chicago makes an appearance in this book to give Quincey and Libby some advice. That totally ROCKS!!!!

      Gustainis is carving out a niche in a genre dominated by women (don't get me wrong, I LOVE that women dominate!). Evil Ways is an exciting read. His characters, both male and female are fully developed. I highly recommend this series and I'm anxiously awaiting the third!This book did have some editing problems that are supposed to be corrected for the paperback release.
    • 5/5
      All of you Jim Butcher fans, definitely check out this new author. This is the second book in the series and features a rather infamous bar in Chicago (Jim Butcher-approved of course). The action is fast, the characters are memorable and I can't wait to read more.
    • 3/5
      The premise: in book two, someone's brutally murdering children for their organs, and this time, it isn't the culprits from Black Magic Woman. There's more than one murderer, making Quincey and his partner Libby to realize that whoever is responsible is planning something BIG. To make things even worse, the person orchestrating the murders might ALSO be responsible for the murders of several white witches, and unfortunately, Libby's on the hit list. It's up to Quincey and Libby to figure out what's going on, who's behind it and why, because any more kids get kill. And before Libby ends up dead.My RatingGive It Away: Gustainis is getting better, but he's still not reached the level of addiction necessary for me to truly want to keep reading the series, and there's still a lot of room for improvement. Since the final draft of this book was written while he was at Odyssey, I'm giving him one more try in this series, just to see what a post-Odyssey book looks like. Right now, his characters need fleshing out, they need humanizing, but I'm starting to recognize that Gustainis's style of urban fantasy (dark subject matter handled with a very light hand and a touch of humor that can be interpreted by cynics like me as cheese) just isn't what I'm looking for in the genre. One more go, but if Gustainis doesn't improve, I'll stop there until he writes something completely different and totally unrelated to this series. If you weren't a fan of Black Magic Woman, this book probably won't do much for you either; however, I do think you can get away with reading this one without reading the first, as you're told everything you need to know.The full review, which includes spoilers, rants, and a cover commentary, may be found in my LJ. As always, comments and discussion are most welcome. :)REVIEW: Justin Gustainis's EVIL WAYSHappy Reading!
