Unclean Spirits (Gods & Monsters)

by Chuck Wendig

Five years ago, it all went wrong for Cason Cole. He lost his wife and son, lost everything, and was bound into service to a man who chews up human lives and spits them out, a predator who holds nothing dear and respects no law. Now, as the man he both loves and hates lies dying at his feet, the sounds of the explosion still ringing in his ears, Cason is finally free.

The gods and goddesses are real. A many-headed pantheon—a tangle of divine hierarchies—once kept the world at arm’s length, warring with one another for mankind’s belief and devotion.

This is...crazy. Crazy in a good way, though I much preferred the second half to the first. The first was so out there, with so little explanation of what was happening, that I almost stepped away. In just the nick of time, I started to learn more about the main character and why things for him were so crazy off the rails. At that point, I definitely got more invested in the book, and would certainly be curious to read book two. While this one does have an ending, it is also quite apparent that there is more - much more - to come.
