Wolves and the River of Stone (Vesik Book 2) Kindle Edition

A jilted ex. An undead army. Never date the damned ...

Zola thought not seeing her ex-boyfriend Philip for 150 years meant he got the hint that they were over. Or, better yet, that he had taken her advice and dropped dead. No such luck. Not only is he back, he has kidnapped Zola and is using her as a pawn in his plan to raise an army to scour humanity from the earth.

Damian Vesik is ready to take Philip on, but he won’t be doing it alone. Flanked by a pack of snarling and snapping werewolves, they are headed to an old battlefield at Stones River to put an end to Philip’s twisted agenda. If they don’t get there in time, however, Zola’s reputation—and life—hang in the balance.

"Fasten your seatbelt and open up some time, because once you start you'll have to keep right on going til the end." - Amazon Reviewer
"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
"Outstanding, simply outstanding." - Amazon Reviewer
"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

5.0 out of 5 stars It's ON! War is coming to the Arcane World
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2013

First of all, if you haven't read the first book in the series "Days Gone Bad", stop go back and get it, and read it first. This is not a stand alone novel really. It is a continuation of the first and is very referential to it. So get it, and this one, and read straight on through the first and this one or you'll be confused as hell. Eric has managed the very fine trick of making it an almost seamless read. He doesn't spend a lot of tedious repetitive time explaining what happened in the first book, but does refer to it often and it keeps the books flowing right along without the jagged breaks that some authors seem to find necessary. Excellent writing.

Damian Vesik the young necromancer is evolving, and we don't know into quite what, but man is it fun to find out. Eric has created some extremely engaging characters in Damion and his family and friends. People you'd like to hang out with. Funny warm and flat out crazy. It rocks. It rolls. It laughs and cries, and takes you right along with it. The bad guys are really nasty bastards and you are right in there with Damion as he pursues them. It's take no prisoners war. WooHoo! Oh yeah, and there is the Nixie. . .mmm.

Eric Asher has a very fine narrative voice indeed, and he has passed his sophomore test with flying colors here. No let down, or up at all. Very much like Jim Butcher he has a fine snarky sense of a reality unbound by very many rules at all. It's all here. Necros good and awful, to werewolves, to fay and fairy and wiccan priestesses to demons and some very enigmatic old gods who are scary indeed. All of the creatures that make you smile, and all of the creatures that scare you to death. I love the freedom of it all. This series rates right up there with anyone. This guy is going to be one of the best. Great job Eric.

Wolves and the River of Stone is the second book in the Vesick series. This can be read as a standalone, but I highly suggest you read Days Gone Bad first so you understand the background story. It doesn't end in a traditional cliffhanger but is open-ended for future books. Will I continue to read future books in the series? Of course I will. There is a lot of graphic violence and gore. Sexual situations so 18+.

The book blurb adequately describes the storyline so I'm not going to repeat that all of that info here. This story continues what was started in Days Gone Bad. Philip and his followers are still out there causing problems. Will Damien, Zola, and friends be able to stop him?

I also have the Audible version of this book. I like how the Kindle and Audible versions update where you stopped reading/listening when switching between the two. William Dufris was the narrator for the audio version. He did a good job in narrating the book. Very clear and easy to understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Starts Slowly And Builds To A Amazing Conclusion!
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014

I must admit that after reading book 1  Days Gone Bad (Vesik)  which I enjoyed I was not sure what to expect from this novel. I expected more of the same but this was a step up from the last book.

Phillip it seems is raising an army to scour humanity from the earth, Damian is just the necromancer to try to stop him with a bit of "help from his friends".

While the author does an excellent job at situations that are horrible with a bit of levity he does not cheat the reader out of a great story. The secondary characters are fleshed out enough for you to get to know most of them and the fact that he finally throws a bit of romance into this book (totally missing from book 1) is an improvement although this is Urban Fantasy all the way and it stays true to that genre.

There are battles and strategies , there are attacks, warmhearted situations and a bit of tragedy, all of which you will love. The concluding few chapters are some of the best I have read in years, the pacing might be slow in a couple of places but the finale is nothing short of amazing.

Well done and highly recommended 4.5 Stars rounded up.

Oh Phillip Phillip Phillip....What can I say. You are friggin evil. This book takes you down the rabbit hole of necromancer depravity with the evil Phillip wreaks on the world. There are poignant moments and funny moments and moments that make you want to shake someone and say what are you thinking man? As always Vesik is ready to come in with his motley cast of characters to save the day. (wouldn't you want to rescue your mother from an evil necromancer? just sayin...) I am truly an Asherite in my love for these books. I love that there's a warmth of family woven through this as well as comedy to break up all the darkness in this book. Eric's artistry for character creation is unmatched and the characters are amazing and intricate, unique, and beautiful and well crafted in every way. His story line is complex with lots of twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Each book makes you want more... They have romance, action, humor, comradery... All the essentials. The main character is very enjoyable with typical human faults and a good heart. They are good reads and are hard to put down. I look forward to the next one!

Wolves and the River of Stone by Eric Asher
Reviewer: Frances Baker
<3<3<3<3<3
Philip, Zola’s boyfriend from one hundred and fifty years ago, is not nearly as dead as we thought. I really wish he was. Not only has he kidnapped Zola, but he’s raising an army to scour humanity from the earth. Hopefully the local werewolf pack will help. What could possibly go wrong?

The second installment in the Vesik series is a thrilling, hold on to the edge of your seat ride. With an emotionally supportive cast of characters who are snarky and witty and downright entertaining to read about as well as a plot that has the reader forever guessing what will happen next. Just like with the first book in the series, “Days Gone Bad” I was already ready for the next one before I hit the last page. I recommend this little trip into an amazing world of urban fantasy and warn that you will also become just as addicted and ready to reread just so it doesn’t have to come to an end.

It was very difficult to put this book down. A very clever idea and the books are exciting and terrifying in more or less equal measure with flashes of humour in the dialogue. How can anyone come up with ideas like this?
