Five Star Review for NEW YORK CITY LEGEND

Ever since I was accused of 'casual racism' in a review of this book on Goodreads, I've been waiting for a new review to see if others thought so (previous reviewers having not mentioned it).

That review is in and it's a lovely 5 star one that also makes no mention of it, so I'm not going to obsess over it. Honest.

5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging book, 21 Nov 2011
 
This review is from: New York City Legend (Kindle Edition)
This book was a true fantasy and a delightful idea, well executed. Magic exist still in the heart of New York (I think it exists in some form everywhere if you have the right outlook) and is endangered by hard-nosed businessmen engaging in shady deals. It is said that, for evil to thrive, it is only necessary for good men to do nothing. Ben Darkly is a good man and he is not prepared to stand back and see something wonderful destroyed without a fight.
The plot is active, engaging and in places, quite tense. I was gripped by the book and enjoyed it very much. No-one with a heart could do otherwise.
