Seth Tanner swore vengeance on the dark witches who killed his brother, Jesse. He rescued Evan Malone from one of the witches, and they’ve fallen in love despite the danger and chaos, going on the road to complete the quest and bring an end to the ritual murders. Their relationship is still new, tested at every turn by danger and magic.
Seth and Evan head to Charleston to stop the next warlock and save his intended victim. But this time, they’re too late. The warlock has already powered up, and he’s determined to destroy the two hunters one way or another. A deadly curse on Seth and Evan means time is running out. Can they find a way to turn the tables, or is Charleston their final destination?

I love it even more as an audiobook!
I first read Unholy just a little over a year ago and loved it. Now that I’ve listened to the audiobook, I love it even more. If you are new to this series, or to Morgan Brice’s books, don’t hesitate to jump in anywhere in a series. While I usually prefer reading series in order, that didn’t happen with Witchbane as I was a latecomer to her books. I never felt lost while reading/listening to this.
Kale Williams did another great job with the audiobook and it really held my attention even though I’d previously read the book. I think he has done a great job with this series overall; now I just need to make time to listen to books 1-3. 😊
I really can’t think of anything more to say that I didn’t already say in my original review shown below.
Wow, is kind of my reaction to Unholy; I’m not sure where to begin with my review. I truly never thought I’d enjoy stories about monster/witch/ghost hunters but I was sure wrong – at least when it comes to books by Morgan Brice.
Seth and Evan are hunting for a really bad witch-disciple who turns out to be even more awful than they originally thought. The blurb really says it all much better than I can. I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that the curse put on Seth and Even, which is mentioned in the blurb, is one that won’t let them touch each other without extreme pain and possibly death. Neither of them really understood how much touching each other was needed and taken for granted until they couldn’t do it. The emotions caused by their dilemma were expressed so well in the writing that I really connected with what the characters were feeling and going through.
Unholy contains a lot of characters who have appeared in other Morgan Brice and Gail Z. Martin (Morgan’s other pen name) books but you won’t feel confused at all if you haven’t read any of them. They all form strong bonds with each other during this story and I suspect the bonds will last throughout books yet to come from Morgan Brice.
Unholy contains references to all kinds of magic and objects related to both good and bad magic. There are several surprises thrown at the characters that cause their quest to go in different directions from what they thought it would when they started out.
Since this is a romance, you know that there will be an HEA but boy does Morgan Brice put her characters, especially Seth and Evan, through a lot of different things before they get there and I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this fantastic adventure.

Morgan Brice is the romance pen name of bestselling author Gail Z. Martin. Morgan writes urban fantasy male/male paranormal romance, with plenty of action, adventure and supernatural thrills to go with the happily ever after. Gail writes epic fantasy and urban fantasy, and together with co-author hubby Larry N. Martin, steampunk and comedic horror, all of which have less romance, more explosions. Characters from her Gail books make frequent appearances in secondary roles in her Morgan books, and vice versa.
On the rare occasions Morgan isn’t writing, she’s either reading, cooking, or spoiling two very pampered dogs.
Series include Witchbane, Badlands, Treasure Trail, Kings of the Mountain and Fox Hollow. Watch for more in these series, plus new series coming soon!
