Rushed #3
Something Wicked
When Eric is summoned to help protect a coven of real-life witches from a murderous magic man, he thinks he has an idea of what's in store for him. After all, he's done this kind of thing twice before. But right from the start, nothing seems to be going right. For starters, it's only two days until his wedding anniversary, and if he's not back in time for the romantic getaway Karen has planned for them, he'll have worse things to worry about than dark magic and monsters. Book 3 in the Rushed series. 115,000 words. Horror, suspense, dark adventure.

I am still conflicted, but will finally give one 5 stars! The imagination needed to create the plot and deliver the way this author does is simply amazing!

The third book in Harmon's "Rushed" series delivers just as much as the first two. Harmon has definitely been working on plotting and details, and presents a good underlying mystery along with the adventure. While the humor is not as prevalent as the first two books, it's also not as forced, which is good. The reveal of the "Magic Man" is also surprising, but plays fair with the reader. As the series plays on, Eric now has new allies, and another mysterious piece to the bigger puzzle of his ultimate purpose. Harmon is doing a great job of keeping these books standalone, while still moving the bigger picture forward. Again, I'm looking forward to seeing Harmon put out the next installment of "Rushed".

Great
Always a great read, this series. Initially, I was uncertain because it felt like the plot had a lot of holes and Karen was being obnoxious and nagging, and their banter is one of the best things about this series. But as usual, the plot came together perfectly, totally made sense, and ended well (Karen gets normal about 70% in). I'm glad to see it's been set up for a sequel because I can't get enough of this series.
FYI: Harmon's other books are excellent as well. If you haven't already read Temple of the Blind, add it to your list now!

Something Wicked and Everything Else
This has to be my 2nd favorite book after the 1st book. Eric's new adventure had every feeling you can imagine from excitement to intense good and evil. It is humorous and scary, including many twists and turns. Holly and Del, along with Eric, are my favorite characters. The ending is not what you expect. I would highly recommend this book.

I love this series!
You constantly ask "why would he do that? " but in reality you might be opening that door or walking down that dark hall or driving off to help a coven of witches. The characters are likable, lovable even, the story ranges from funny to edge of your seat with some mystery thrown in. Highly recommend this series to everyone!

Not my kind of book
I really anticipated reading this book but it took me 4 days to read. It was so repetitive that I kept falling asleep. I can say that I wanted to finish it to see how it ended.

I'm a new Brian Harmon fan. I thought the first two books in the series were much more entertaining than this one. Not that I didn't enjoy this one, it just was quite repetitive and kind of got boring. The end was interesting because I wasn't expecting it to be who I thought it was, but the fight was less epic than I had imagined in my head.

Oh my! I got this on a whim via Kindle and boy oh man, I loved it. LOVED it. Weird, quirky, dark, but also funny as hell when you least expected it. If you like Stephen King books you'd probably enjoy these. The entire series of four (so far -- not sure if he's going to write more) is entertaining and responsible for my not being able to go to bed at a normal time.
My biggest complaint is the overuse of the word "clearly". If there was a drinking game for the number of times the author used "clearly", I'd be dead of alcohol poisoning. But I would die with a smile on my face, so I give him a pass and the extra gold star.
I will say when I read this book would be about witches, I thought, "meh. I'm not going to like this. I'm not a witch sort of reader." But I bonded with these characters. And the imps -- I must say I thought of the movie "Labyrinth" when I read about imps, so I had David Bowie on the mind for a long time. That alone would give the book five stars.
Way to go, Mr. Harmon!

I have loved this series and wish there were more! Book three is just as well written and filled with action, mystery and humour as the first two and the characters are realistic despite the fantasy setting.
The plot here has the usual, however it has surprises and even with the idea of witches and magic, it still retains its mystery and realism.
I do like the protagonist and his modest ways and certainly his humour, especially with his wife - what a wonderful relationship. Isabelle is also an interesting and intriguing concept.
I don't give spoilers but will say that this is another great story and highly recommended. I look forward to the next.

I really enjoyed this book, even though I didn't think it was quite as good as the previous two books in this series. I still find the depiction of the main character's relationship with his wife - and his constant communication with her by telephone - rather juvenile, but as with the previous installments, the tale was engaging enough that I didn't mind. I was up half of the night finishing it! I hope the next book in the series comes out soon.

I loved these books. I am realizing that the ending of each one kind of.just throws a ton of stuff in, almost like there were invented Connections to make it fit... the books are still great reads though

I really enjoyed this book more than the 1st two . His constant communication with his wife is exactly what my husband and I do on a daily basis so that wasn't unbelievable as some reviews suggested. it was thoroughly engaging if you want to be swept away. isn't that what reading books is all about? :)

I did not enjoy this book as much at the others in this series - though it was still a delightfully fun adventure. The story ends with a promise of much more to come and certainly trouble brewing with Holly schmoozing her way into the "team". I would definitely read more of this series if more was ever written.

I really liked this book. It was very interesting. it moved kinda of slow but when the action started it picked up and was riveting! The ending was a twist though, as I didn't expect the "magic man" to be who they were revealed to be. All in all, the book was compelling, interesting, and completely engrossing. Brian Harmon is and excellent writer and I look forward to reading his other material!

This is just a fun series with lead characters that are clever and self deprecating in nature. Also, who doesn't want an Isabelle?

I loved it
I have always loved books that had mystery and sci first with some action all packed in one book. I have read all 3 books in one in half months time, it would be great to add to this series with a new adventure for Eric and Holly. great readings!

Something wickedly for sure
From the very first chapter I was hooked. I love the action and creativity. This has creatures, magic, powerful sexy women. twists and turns from the start. Great and exciting read. Can't wait until the next journey.

The 3rd book in the Rushed series was even better. The characters really caught my attention. Each witch having a different power and the fact that he has to save each one and bring them home. Really didn't see the ending coming. But overall a great read. Hope that there is another one.

I really hate holly. Ugh
Just no. I can't imagine her being an even remotely useful companion. Her character is a shallow, juvenile, under developed sweet feminine cliche and completely obnoxious.

A no personality male high school English teacher with no skills outside of existing is the only one who can save a group of beautiful, magical, highly talented young women. Yes, drivel this bad still exists.

On the edge of my seat!
I have read the first two books and this one was the best so far! His stories are like no other, and he had me on the edge of my seat for hours! Don't miss out on this one!

I can't get enough.
I love the freshness of this series. It never gets old. Easy to follow and love all the characters especially Eric. I really like going on his adventures and feel like it's all culminating into a great last ending!

This time Eric is summoned to help a coven of witches from a magic man who is a murderer. This time it is 2 days before his wedding anniversary so this has made his wife pissed. Will he make it back on time and alive? This is book 3 of this series.
