In a city where once upon a time happens all the time...

Tony Wolfe keeps order for notorious crime lords The Three Pigs - and gets paid handsomely for it. It grants him a life of luxury in a city where everyone lives in fear of the Queen and her dark magic.

But that life is torn apart when a job goes wrong and the Pigs punish Wolfe - and his family - for their own mistakes.
As their wrath escalates, Wolfe fights back against his employers. Crossing paths with the rebellious princess Snow White and a sheriff on the trail of a deadly new black market spell, his vendetta reveals the Pigs' shady business goes beyond just counterfeit magic and dealing Fairy Dust.

Wolfe has declared a one-man war against the secret power behind this city - and if he loses, the future of magic will change forever.

From the author of Wandless, discover a unique world where fairy tales collide in this page-turning urban fantasy thriller

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

James Batchelor (1986-present) is a UK journalist and writer. Born and raised in Essex, he has somehow survived the county's stereotypes, often mistakenly labelled as 'northern' or 'posh'.

By day, he is a senior editor at GamesIndustry.biz, a trade publication for (you guessed it) the video games industry, and has written for business publications for the games industry since 2006.

By weekend, he is the creator of worlds, including the Wandless series and the upcoing Death & Fairy Dust saga of urban fantasy thrillers.

He is a former member of Chelmsford writing group Writebulb, for which he edited and contributed to the club's charity anthologies.

He stubbornly denies that he prefers e-books to paperback.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Take on Modern Fairy Tales
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 28, 2021

Full transparency: I beta read this. This is an honest review, however.

Perfect for fans of the likes of Once Upon A Time, Fables and their ilk, Blow the House Down is James Batchelor's first foray into full novel writing after last year's successful novella, Wandless. Blow the House Down introduces us to a world of magic laced with darkness, with an opening scene reminiscent of the Dresden Files laying out in no uncertain terms that Thou Shalt Not Screw With Magic, Or The People Who Make It, On Pain Of Death.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what several characters do, and it falls to Tony Wolfe to fix it the only way he knows how: Blowing the house down.

James has built an excellent world with many varied characters here, and the potential for more stories within it is there as well (I still want to know about what happened with the Prisoner, James!) As an introduction, the story is a great way of showing us the world, it's populace and the effects of their decisions upon it, while not getting bogged down in exposition and unnecessary detail that can hamstring any work like this. The pace is kept up and the tension is always taut in this action thriller that encompasses everything from magic drugs to prison breaks. The only thing missing, really, is a good fairy tale monster. I'm sure trolls and goblins and their ilk are in this world somewhere...
