This review is from: Winner Takes All (Hawk and Fisher, No 2) (Paperback)

This is the second volume of the adventures of Hawk and Fisher and closely follows the first. Hawk and Fisher are married, members of the Guard, honest, and very good fighters. Unfortunately their honesty tends to get them assigned to undesirable positions.

As an election looms, Hawk and Fisher are assigned as bodyguards to a Reform candidate in a district that could cause a change in power on the council. Together they have face vampires, werewolves, and many other evils, but are they ready for the political arena?

Their charge has made a lot of enemies and although sorcery is forbidden in elections, the opposition won't let that stop them. As the election nears, Hawk and Fisher must face deceit, treachery, sorcery, mercenaries, kidnaping, love and dirty tricks galore. To make matters worse, something is stirring on the Street of the Gods.

A nicely woven story that shows how politics can be costly even for good causes. We learn a little more about Hawk and Fisher's past as they are relatively new to the city of Haven. While not quite a mystery like the first book in the series, this is still a wonderful tale and it follows the first quite well.
