Sometimes it was mean, but sometimes it was just funny without being mean. This book was also funny at times because Jonah was somewhat sarcastic and snarky. And then when more bad things happened, they were given the gravity they deserved too. I almost felt like crying while I was reading it because it was written in a way that made me feel the gravity of the situation and made me feel horrible for Jonah. There was something that happened about halfway through the book that was. In fact, all the serious things were handled well.
He had a bad leg from a broken femur and used a cane, and it obviously didn't stop him from doing things, but it was a part of him, sometimes causing him pain, sometimes causing him to have trouble balancing, sometimes making things more difficult, etc. Jonah's physical disability was handled well too. It wasn't just glossed over it caused him to make bad decisions, it took a toll on his body, and people were worried about him and wanted him to get help. Jonah's alcoholism was a topic that was handled well. And I felt terrible about all the beatings he got throughout the book because he definitely did not deserve that. I mean, I still didn't really like him as a person because he was still a jerk sometimes, but when he made bad decisions or reached for a bottle, more than anything, I felt sympathy for him, for the things that led to him being in such a bad place. And then he'd go and do something nice or I'd find out about something good he did, and gah, I just couldn't help but root for the guy. He was completely unlikeable, and yet, that was exactly what made him likeable because I happen to love seriously flawed characters when they're written well, which he was (his voice was well-written too). He even stole things from the houses of the people who hired him. He conned people with fake seances and other similar services. I knew from the very first page that this was gonna be my kinda book.

I've been picky about what new snarky, action-packed type of urban fantasy books I'll read ever since I got kind of burnt out on those, but I'm glad I decided to try this one since it ended up being great, and now I have a new series to look forward to continuing! *I received an ecopy of this book via NetGalley.

A shaman for hire, Jonah knows how to tap into his powers as easily as he can turn on a light switch, but the real money is in putting on a show. To Jonah, it means one simple thing: money.
To others, it’s proof that there’s more to life than meets the eye. That is, until a mysterious woman makes him an offer he can’t afford to refuse: $20,00 Magic: To some, it’s spectacle.
