See all formats and editions

A necromancer's fear. A family's fate. An ancient spirit with a new alliance.

Damian shouldn't have told himself things couldn't get any worse. They did. As Nixie struggles to unite the water witches, the Fae king discovers a spy in his ranks. Damian and his friends are forced to split their focus and their powers between the unrest in Faerie and the rising tensions in Falias. When Nudd's latest gambit puts humanity’s most dangerous weapons into his hands, they can't let anything stand in their way. They'll need help from new contacts and trusted allies if they hope to stop the Fae king's madness.

But the award for worst timing in history goes to an old friend: Vicky.

"Eric Asher's books are guaranteed good reads. The Vesik series is the best new urban fantasy series I've read in years. An amazing character-driven series with high stakes and heart-pounding action that will have you on the edge of your seat. The world building is imaginative, the action is fast-paced, and the witty dialogue will have you laughing coffee out your nose." - E.J. Stevens, award-winning author of the Ivy Granger Psychic Detective series

"Damian is an incredible character, very well fleshed out. He is witty -- loaded to the hilt with dark humor, rugged, and supercalifragilisticexpialidociously bad to the bone." - My Book Addiction

Forgotten Ghosts, lookout!

Each Vesik book becomes more intense
with longer battles and pain for the characters. The loss of characters is also wrenching. As a reader I become more invested in the story and the lives and feelings of each character. Eric Asher brings everything to life, and can make me hold my breath as I read thru battles, arguments, simple banter not wanting to put the book down feeling exhausted when I do. I can't finish one book and immediately start the next. I have to read other book genres in between or work on crafts to catch my breath and prepare for all the excitement the next Vesik book will bring.

Fantastic read, and series highly recommended!

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2018

When I read the first book, I though Mr Asher had just done a knock off of Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden, or Benedict Jacka's Alex Verus. But then, about half-way thru , I was hooked - I went back and got the two, three book sets that covered the first six books, And then I got the 7th, and now the 8th.

While Mr Asher may owe some ideas to both author's I have listed, he is definitely out own his own in his development of the vampire pits and the werewolf packs, the fairies, Wiccan witches, old gods, etc. And especially the necromancers.

Personally, I have never read anything with this amount of detailed personal growth, especially when I consider that we are dealing with a necromancer as the primary hero - with weaknesses and strengths, Damian Vesik develops thru the series, and learns from victories, defeats, and by being smacked around by his master and other...teachers.

Also of note, the author's historical accuracy when dealing with battle sites of the Civil War - I have been to a lot of them before finding this series, and I can honestly say I will never look at them in quite the same manner again.

Kudos to the author!

I do enjoy the Vesik books very much. I didn't want it to end where it did. Impatient for the next book. The story and descriptions give everything such depth. You can see it all play out in your mind.

These Vesik books just keep getting better and better

I can't believe we're at book 8 already! If you're reading this review, do I really have to say anything that hasn't already been said by now? I mean, come on! If you've read all of the others, you're already in: hook, line and sinker!

I really hope that Mr Asher keeps this series going. I myself believe that there is plenty of material and characters to write for years to come! I find myself in a conundrum when these books come out because, while I'm super excited to read it, I'm bummed at the same time. Once I read it, I have to wait for the next one and I'm not a patient person!

Anyway, do yourself a favor, pick up this series and get started on the journey into madness. You'll thank me, even as you wait, in agony, for the next one. These books are like a drug for which there is no antidote. The only thing that scratches the itch is more Vesik.

More Vesik fun!

Vedic continues to be one of my favorite series. I love the sarcasm, the quirky characters and despite the male lead, the many strong women. This one is a cliffhanger! The Audiobooks for this series are my absolute favorite, so greatly looking forward to that and whatever else Eric throws at us from his promised novellas in 2019 (Eric, I know you’re reading this, so I vote for William Dufris to read those aloud too!!). If you haven’t read these, I recommend starting at the beginning as the cast of characters grows over time. I missed some of my favorite characters in this book, so hoping for more soon!

Fast-paced, well written continuation of the Vesik series.

Book 8 in the Vesik series, and it does not disappoint. Damian, Sam, Zola, Foster, and the others are back for another exciting fun-filled and dangerous adventure, what else would they be doing? Things are getting more dire as the team continue their battle against Nudd and his allies. If dark-touched vamps, fairies and creatures from the abyss aren't enough, Vesik has a new challenge to deal with, a recalcitrant teenager and her killer dust bunny. A roller coaster of a ride, the wait is over, hop, on, buckle in and enjoy the experience. Things are getting tense and the suspense builds in this one, cannot wait to see what's next. Another great installment by Eric Asher.

🎶Guess who's back, back again? Vicky's back, tell a friend! 🎶 Vesik has an apprentice it seems, whether he wants one or not. Vicky is becoming more and more like Damien every day and as her powers emerge so does her sass. But Vesik needs all the help he can get as Nudd prepares to execute a family of fae that Damien and his crew have forged a friendship with.
This is a continuation of a long, ongoing story that is so entertaining it will keep you up at night trying to finish it in one setting. It's funny, quick witted and magical.
I voluntarily leave this review after receiving an advanced reader's copy from the author. Trust me when I say that the Vesik Series is worth buying and as a matter of fact, i have bought most of the series even after reading the ARC.

Hudd has gone too far. first he's stealing a fae family and has decided to execute them, then he steals the world's arsenal of nuclear weapons. all of them. Vesik and his friends are in a desperate search to find both before anything can happen. anything worse. what could be worse? Damien.

what a fun chance to run through the ancient city. and i honestly feel like i'm there, the descriptions are so real. the emotions are so real, so entangling. I want to comfort everyone and bring everyone home

Eric Asher’s Vesik series is an action packed blend of fantasy with modern times. Interesting characters that utilize old myths and stories to create a new epic that is hard to put down. Love the blend of fantasy with the modern world and what could be if....

FORGOTTEN GHOSTS

A breathtaking, exciting and emotional ride. Mr Asher weaves a story you simply can not put down.
This is seriously one of those books that you wish would never end.

Damien is in the thick of it (as usual), Not only is the war with Nudd still in full swing
and Vikki is back, with Jasper in tow and the teenage years sure aren't easy on anyone.

Evil faeries, The Dark Touched and creatures from the abyss all line up to take their
turn in the war, and Vesik has to face them all. Can he keep his family and humanity
safe?

A rip roaring roller coaster of a tale, action and intrigue, humour and feels,
this book has it all.
