olitics is never an easy game. Not when there’s supernatural entities operating in the shadows, and not when you’re the team of cooks and chefs catering to both sides of the realm. The team at Sin du Jour not only do both, but their

latest assignment sees them catering for the Presidential elect of the United States… and his supernatural counterpart whose bacon they saved. Except the danger hasn’t passed and it’s up to one member of Sin du Jour to prevent a war of an unimaginable scale. In this fifth book of the Sin Du Jour chronicles, the drama and intrigue continues to build towards what should be quite a climatic end. Matt Wallace once again combines the hellish underworld of otherworldly creatures, with the unassuming and barely recognized world of catering. This time the consequences are on a massive scale, as the novella runs concurrent with the current American political debacle. The writing is crisp and humourous as ever, with an earnest realism to each of the characters growing through Sin du Jour’s expanding tale. Finding the balance between horror, is something Matt Wallace seems to do with ease. g
