Justin Herzog’s novel First Wave is a fascinating work of fiction that introduces Marcus Aries the lead. He believed his fighting days were behind him, until he found himself fighting an entirely new battle upon moving to Hawaii. He is the owner and proprietor of a martial arts school in addition to being the guardian of the Hawaiian Islands. As such, he is the middleman between the supernatural world and that of everyday mortals. Most people in his world do not believe in the supernatural, particularly one with danger, darkness, and virulent, brutal creatures. His latest case has Marcus looking into the case of a young boy who is an heir to a Hawaiian cartel that went missing. Looking at the evidence, Aries believes there is the involvement of the supernatural in the case. He may need to use all his contacts to locate the child and might not succeed since someone is intent on taking him out and the more he investigates, the murkier things get. It is a fast-paced and fun story with enough intrigue that combines the supernatural, mystery, and action to keep you interested from the first page to the last.

High Tides is Justin Herzog’s second novel in the Marcus Aries series of novels. As the guardian of the balance between the mortal and supernatural realms, Marcus Aries could not have been happier with the peace that reigns. However, things take a turn for the worse when he has a visitor from the Hawaiian cartel with an interesting proposal. He needs him to look into a series of homicides in which the victims were dragged into the sea in mysterious circumstances. At the same time, Marcus has agreed to work at the upcoming United Nations Convention as a security consultant. With the body count rising, he is questioning the true nature of what he will have to deal with and what he is protecting. High Tides is a work set in the picturesque landscapes of Hawaii that combines martial arts action and supernatural intrigue to make for a thrilling work.
