Yancy Lazarus #4
Savage Prophet
Legions of murderous undead, Haitian voodoo, and a five-thousand-year old serpent god.
Yeah, ’cause that’s exactly what Yancy Lazarus needs in his life: more complications. As if being the Hand of Fate and the newly appointed guardian over one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse wasn’t headache enough.
All Yancy wants is an easy life on the open road—chock-full of ribs, beer, cigarettes, and smoky bars blaring with gritty blues music—but that just isn’t in the cards. Nope, not anymore. He’s been charged to save the world and now that he’s got a no-shit demon riding shotgun in his head, he’s sorta committed to the cause.
If Yancy can’t sort through this colossal heap of bullshit, he’s coffin bound. But, he’s not dead yet. In fact, he even has a lead.
Turns out one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse—the pale Rider, Death—is slumming around in one of Yancy’s old haunts. In order to corner this new threat, though, Yancy’s gonna have to face some deadly supernatural nightmares from his distant past. And, to make matters worse, he’s not the only one trailing the Pale Rider. A powerful new mage with some serious magical chops, is also aiming to find the Fourth Seal and he’ll do whatever it takes to win. Even if it means hurting those closest to Yancy … Like F.B.I. Agent Nicole Ferraro.

Savage Prophet (Yancy Lazarus #4) by James A. Hunter is by far the most suspense filled, dangerous mission Yancy has been on! I was on edge the whole book, except for the humorous snarky parts, LOL. I absolutely love these books! The are full of magic, action, adventure, danger, strange creatures, wizardry, and this time voodoo, zombies, and demons. He finds the most interesting characters to mess with. He messed with the wrong crowd this time or they messed with him. Either way, his world is in for a hurt. Love the fun ride in these reads.

Yancy carries the Seal if the Horseman of War. His mind is being colonised by the demon Azazel and it’s a battle he’s losing
It would help if he could stop drawing on the dark power the demon offers. But with the world in the balance and another seal possibly falling into the hands of their enemies, he seems to have no choice. As he drags himself through horrendous, torturous experience after another, faces agony and horror and watches the Guild of the Staff completely collapse around him – can he really say no to the demon’s magic?
But if he accepts the demon’s help, does he risk being a greater threat than the very thing he’s fighting against?
The ongoing meta plot of this series now goes into high gear as the seals of the apocalypse and the archdemons who guard them are now front and centre to the storyline. We don’t just have Yancy stumbling across a situation that happens to be related to the epic ongoing battle on which the world rests.
This feels much more directed because of this, the grand fate of the end of the world and the consequences there are much more central. Even though that has been on the cards for a while, the last book felt more local, focusing on the Big Foot (big feet?) rather than the very world being in the balance. We definitely have the broader focus here. Along with all the epic conflict and fight scenes I expect from a Yancy Lazerous novel.
Perhaps because it is so focused, I don’t feel like this book is jammed with unnecessary fight scenes – not because there are less of them, but more because each fight as actually relevant to the overall plot line. In previous books if Yancy went to a bar, asked someone for information, pretty much anything, there would be a battle. I think one of the problems I have in taking Fast Hands Steve seriously as an epic enemy (beyond the awful name) is that he was introduced in a completely random unnecessary fight. Building a whole vendetta enemy out of a fight in a bar because Yancy can’t even play music without there being conflict going on really fails as a back story. Sometimes I feel Yancy eats BBQ in restaurants all the time because he can’t go to the shops to buy groceries without fighting ninjas, demons, and vampiric girl scouts.
Here all the action was on point
There’s also some devastatingly dramatic tension with Yancy confronting Fotuna after the horrendous things he suffers in this book. It doesn’t downplay or minimise the trauma nor expect Yancy to just breeze past it – it’s devastating and presented as such.
I also like Darlene
When we first met Darlene and Yancy dismisses her as an office worker way out of her depth, I waited for him to be proven gloriously wrong. I waited for this to be proven wrong. I waited for her to pull out some ninja magical nuclear powers and leave Yancy gasping at her violent awesomeness.
And I was wrong. She was out of her depth. She absolutely fell apart in a combat situation and generally Yancy’s first impressed was confirmed in spades
This isn’t a bad thing. Why wouldn’t a fully experienced combat veteran like Yancy NOT recognise someone with combat training. Plus waif-fu – or awesome fighting power houses who don’t remotely look the part – is an annoying trope that is kind of elated to the super-hot-thin-people-eating-fried-chicken-covered-pizzas-and-not-exercising trope. Actually being an active, experienced combat fighter generally comes with a level of physical fitness and muscle tone. And that’s aside from demeanour, grim bitterness etc – there’s every reason why Yancy should have been able to accurately peg Darlene

Book 4 and I cannot get enough of Yancy Lazarus, the mage who can channel Vis, has a heart of gold and cannot stay out of trouble when all he wants is to relax with some booze, a cigarette and some blues music. But he is now the hand of fate, and Fate has set some difficult tasks for him, and her handmaiden, Lady luck does not seem to be on his side either. In this book Yancy comes across a multitude of undead, and Haitian voodoo in Haiti where he risks to lose his life as he is cruelly tortured by a guy who has a grudge against him. Yancy is also the guardian of one of the horseman of the apocalypse, the demon of war, Azazel, who he keeps trying to keep under control for fear that he would take over. In this book Yancy has to face a new threat the 4th seal, the pale rider, death whose guardian is a five-thousand year old serpent God. A powerful mage is also after the 4th seal and they battle to the end and what an end it is. I love the tension building in this book even though at times it becomes really dark and I felt to sorry for Yancy. Darlene Drukiski, the judge who is meant to watch him has no clue about being in the field of action, but comes through for Yancy at the end anyway. Seems the nightmares from his past just will not let him go, they keep turning up book after book, and some are more powerful than others, and betrayals keep on happening from people he least expected them from. I am really into this series and have no idea why it had to be re-launched before I discovered it and I cannot wait for book 5 because Yancy Lazarus really grew on me.

[I received a copy of this book through NetGalley.]
Entertaining, like the previous instalments in the series. The author’s upped the ante when it comes to grit and violence, reflecting the increasing stakes: Yancy now has to face his own inner demon (literally) on top of the looming menace of the Savage Prophet, old enemies surfacing again, and his own people who don’t see him in a very good light. Good thing, then, that he can still count on Ferraro, as well as on the new addition, Darlene, who may not be a great fighter, but has aces of her own up her sleeve.
However, this book felt more like a filler: a lot of action, but comparatively little character development. In spite of all that happened, especially at the end of volume three, Yancy is still pretty much the same as in all the other books, when I would’ve expect an evolution of some kind. (I don’t want such a character to start moping and be completely broken, for sure, but I didn’t feel much difference between Yancy from book one and Yancy from book four, all things considered.) I admit I ended up skimming over some scenes.
Conclusion: 2 / 2.5 stars.

From Magnolia Reviews: Two Petals
This series has been steadily going downhill for me. Yancy's unchanging characterization is the biggest issue, and it leaks into every other aspect of the story. What should have been an exciting plot quickly became boring, and that is why I cannot recommend this book.

Another great book in the Yancy Lazarus series
James Hunter does it again! With each book I find myself growing fonder of Yancy and his world. The blending of religious beliefs, mythical stories, and fantasy are wonderfully done; making the entire world seem so real. Incorporate this with Yancy's internal battle against a literal demon from Hell, while trying to save the world from a terrible future and you have yourself a great book.

In a series that began as a bad Dresden Files knock-off this can be called the Changes of the series. Brings a bunch of things together, resolves a number of plot threads and ends on a serious cliffhanger. It's still derivative, but at this point Yancy Lazarus is unambiguously good. Though the identity of the Savage Prophet seemed like an odd twist.

Always a good read, Hunter keeps the pace and the interest while the snarkiness just keeps getting better. The guild has lost its mind, and now Yancy is saddled with a desk jockey as his parole supervisor. There is lots of scary stuff, but the publisher's blurb gives hints and there is no need for spoilers here. I loved it!
Charlie Kevin continues to be terrific as Yancy's narrator!

It is only ok. I will read the next book in the series but that may be my last one from this author. The story had great potential but Yancy not only remains the hot-headed, right-fighter who has apparently learned nothing in his life, but is getting worse. Also, editing, spelling and grammar errors are increasing.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Oh! So that's who the savage prophet is.
The savage prophet is revealed, Yancy makes a new friend and ally and finds out that some of the people he classed as old friends are working against him, he battles alongside the Archmage, dabbles with the Nox fights a hundred foot tall cobra, you just know he's not leaving this outing in one piece.

Savage Prophet
Another great outing for Yancy, savage uncompromising violence. Love Hatred and grief all wrapped around one Hell of a rollercoaster ride. Love Yancy or hate him, you cannot ignore him. All Fantasy should be written this way. Fab

You’d think putting our favorite anti-establishment mage on trial where the outcome is either summary execution or indefinite slavery to the Guild he hates would be the most intense scene in a story, perhaps even the climax. In a Yancy Lazarus novel? Yeah, no. A trial for life or death or slavery is literally just the beginning for Yancy.
Spanning the worlds of the Guild, the Hub, Buddhism, Haiti, and the Seals of Revelation, Savage Prophet is an action-packed thrill ride that starts out intense and builds to a world- and character-shattering climax, without a single moment of breath-catching along the way. There really ain’t no rest for the wicked—or at least there ain’t for Yancy Lazarus. Well, okay, there was one scene where Yancy finally got to lie down, but he was strapped to the table of a Hatian zombie-maker thirsty for Lazarus blood, so you can’t really count that.
A word of warning to any weak-stomached readers out there: Yancy fans have come to expect Yancy to get the short end of the stick more often than not and still use that stupid stick to poke his opponents in the eye. But this time it’s possible—probable even—that Yancy has bitten off more than he can chew. Savage Prophet is even darker and grittier than the Lazarus novels that have come before. The stakes have stepped up about a hundred notches. You’ll cringe. You’ll feel the bottom of your stomach drop out. You’ll yell at your kindle as if you’re watching a half-naked girl walk into a lightless basement in a horror movie. You’ll wonder if there’s any hope for our foul-mouthed, spell-slinging hero…and this time, there might not be.

This is an urban fantasy, no sex, lots of death and much to my dismay, a cliffhanger. This is not a stand alone, please start with Yancy’s book #1.
There are a few series that I feel passionately about. Yancy’s story is one of them. Yancy is a salty, ill-behaved 68-year old Marine who is a mage that has seen too much and done far worse. He’s been betrayed, loved, and hated. He’s also funnier than anything I can ever compare. His sense of humor is one of those that makes me laugh out loud.
His story is continuing, though I have no idea how he’s keeping himself alive. In this book, it’s never a good day for Yancy. He’s got more on his plate by just waking up in the morning than I have in all my life. He has to out-guess the Fates and try boxing in a demon. He has to figure out puzzles and keep at least three moves ahead of his enemy…which he’s not always sure the identity.
He’s trying so hard to do the right thing that sometimes he has to do the wrong thing to get him into the place he needs to be to do the right thing. The secondary characters are not disappointing either. The world is a mixture of Earth as we know it, Faerie, and an other world that is deadly if you don’t know what you are doing and treacherous even if you do.
Yancy Lazarus is a one of-a-kind and his story is the ultimate conspiracy theory. If you think the government is bad, you’ve never met the bathrobe-wearing sh*tpickle of the Guild. That’s Yancy’s word – not mine.

While Hunter didn't shy away from violence in any of the books in this series, Prophet definitely goes a step further. Again, thumbs up for a crazy story line that will take you places you won't expect. We also learn more about Ailia and Cassius.
I liked the new character of Darlene and appreciated the introspection we saw on her part and Yancy's in regards to her. I think more introspection is something Yancy and the series lacks.
I checked out the author's website to determine whether this book ends badly or (well, I guess still badly since who liked cliffies?) on a cliffhanger. Gah! I couldn't find any mention of a 5th book, but also no mention that this was the last.
I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Missing Harry? Meet Yancy!
Yancy is back with another adventure and what fun it is. I've enjoyed this series a lot so far and Hunter gets better with every book. If you're a fan of the badass wizard type on the lam from a council that should be protecting him, supernatural baddies, and big action urban fantasy, read James A. Hunter. Yancy Lazarus will help curb the jonesing while you're waiting for the next Harry Dresden novel.

Yancy just can't catch a break...
Savage Prophet is the 4th book in the Yancy Lazarus series. This was a fast, action packed read. James Hunters books always have a two part storyline to them and the first part is a doozy. Yancy just can't catch a break even though Lady Luck is his boss. The background storyline gets better with every book. It left me dying to know what happens next.

I truly enjoyed this book, mostly because Yancy Lazarus did not over come the odds against him. I hope he does long term because he is the hero after all, but he gets seriously hurt, makes choices that are truly awful with horrible repercussions, and generally needs a nap & a hug followed by a few miracles. And I loved it! Can't wait till the next book!

Wow!! Another great book
This is as good as urban fantasy gets. James keeps getting better with each book.
I didn't like how much Yancy got beat up and abused by almost all of his colleagues and friends. However, when you are turning your world upside down, some of that is inevitable.
The book ends with my hero transmuted and heading into Hell. What a cliffhanger!!

Just as good as the others
James Hunter keeps us guessing with a intricate plot and loveably sardonic hero to put it all in layman's terms for us. Excited to see where this goes.

Another great read
Another great dread from James A Hunter; this series is what I imagine the Dresden files would be like if Jim Butcher had been a Marine. Looking forward to the next one.
